Foundation Repair Company in Raleigh, Cary, Durham, NC & Nearby

In these photos taken at a home in Mars Hill, NC, signs of serious foundation settlement were clearly visible. The exterior brick wall had started to bow and pull away, creating visible gaps and causing concern for long-term structural integrity. Cracks in the mortar lines and uneven soil pressure against the foundation were early symptoms of a sinking structure likely worsened by the mountainous terrain and variable moisture levels common in this region.

To permanently stabilize the home, our team excavated along the affected wall and installed high-strength steel push piers beneath the foundation. These piers are designed to transfer the load of the home to deeper, more stable soil layers. Once installed and hydraulically driven to the proper depth, they effectively stopped the settlement and began the lifting process to realign the structure.

The final photo shows the area fully backfilled, with the wall now supported and secure. This transformation not only restored the homeowner’s peace of mind it protected their investment for the future.

A customer's home, built on a rocky mountain, experienced foundation settlement due to unstable ground conditions. To stabilize the home, we installed foundation push piers. This system involves driving steel piers deep into the ground until they reach stable soil or bedrock. The piers are then connected to the foundation, providing support and preventing further settlement. This method ensures the home's structural integrity and restores its stability.

This building fell victim to soil settlement. To permanently stabilize the structure, we installed our Foundation Push Pier System. This system works by transferring the weight of the building to solid ground through the pier system. 

The sinking floor in this home had become a serious problem. The previous work done to prevent this had not been doing its job. We installed our SmartJack system to permanently stabilize the home.

This home in Elk Park, NC was experiencing serious foundation failure along a load-bearing exterior wall. The soil had washed out and eroded, leaving the concrete footing exposed and unsupported. As the ground continued to shift, the foundation began to crack and separate, putting stress on the stone façade and threatening the stability of the structure above.

Our team installed a series of Helical Piers to permanently stabilize the failing section of the home. After excavating the problem area, each pier was driven deep into load-bearing soil to transfer the home’s weight off the failing foundation and onto stable strata. This process halts settlement, restores structural support, and prevents future movement caused by weak or eroded soils.
