This brick home started to form stress cracks inside the crawl space and was sloping away on one side. So, we shored up these foundation issues by installing helical piers under the home.
Massive water seepage put pressure on this block wall and started to bow it. It also would flood. We waterproofed and stabilized the block walls with our drainage system and steel support beams.
We installed foundation piers to repair the sinking foundation because they provide deep support, stabilize the structure, and prevent further settlement. Foundation piers are driven deep into the ground until they reach stable soil or bedrock, effectively transferring the building's weight to more solid ground. This method addresses the underlying cause of the sinking, such as soil erosion or poor compaction, ensuring a long-term solution. Additionally, foundation piers can help restore the structural integrity of the building, prevent further damage, and improve overall safety.
Moisture in this crawl space led to bouncy floors above it. To eliminate the floors from feeling uneven or bouncy, we installed our SmartJack System. SmartJack posts are installed by placing them beneath the floor joists in the crawl space, providing additional support to the floor structure. This helps to stabilize and level the floors, reducing bounciness and improving overall structural integrity.
Water regularly flowed through the foundation walls in this basement. The wall started to bow and crack. We waterproofed the interior and stabilized the block walls with our patented PowerBraces.
