how screwed were the interior finishes after that?

Luckily for them, the part of the house raised the most were bedrooms and only suffered some sheetrock damage and needing to replace a few doors since the original ones had been trimmed over the years to try to fit the trapezoid shaped jams as the house settled.

The floors in that area were covered in carpet, but if they had ceramic tile in that area, I'm sure they would have been damaged too.

We also had to replace one section of the main drain line from the bathroom where it all connected to the main drain below the ground to the septic tank. Where the supply tied into the house was not touched by the jacks since it was the starting point to get the house level.


I've done houses that needed extensive plaster/sheetrock work and lots of doors replaced when I worked with one of my cousins who had his own business doing home renovations.
