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.
This Greensboro property was showing signs of foundation settlement along a long exterior wall evident through visible cracks and uneven ground. Settlement like this often results from unstable soil beneath the foundation, which can compromise the structural integrity of the entire home over time.
To permanently stabilize the foundation, we installed heavy-duty push piers deep into load-bearing soil. These steel supports transfer the home’s weight off the unstable surface soil and onto solid strata below. Once installed, the piers not only stop further settlement but can even lift and level the structure in some cases.
Now, the homeowner has a secure, stable foundation and the peace of mind that their home is protected from future shifting or damage. The clean finish along the wall is just the visual confirmation of a job done right beneath the surface.
In Greensboro, NC, this commercial building was experiencing serious signs of foundation settlement, including stairstep exterior cracks along the structure. Built on a slab foundation, the shifting soil had begun to impact the building’s stability. Our team addressed the issue by installing push piers, a trusted solution for permanently stabilizing foundations. By lifting and supporting the structure from deep, load-bearing soil, we were able to restore confidence in the building’s integrity. The transformation is clear cracks have been addressed, and the foundation is now secure, giving the property owners long-term peace of mind.
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.
