This crawl space's floor joists had weakened and shifted overtime, causing the floors above to sink. We permanently stabilized the foundation by installing SmartJacks with steel supplemental beams throughout the crawl space. These fully-adjustable steel piers will stop settlement in its tracks and may even lift the floors above back to their original position.
We permanently stabilized these sagging floors by installing SmartJacks with steel supplemental beams throughout the crawl space. SmartJacks are fully-adjustable steel piers that immediately stop settlement and even lift the floors above back to their original position - ridding of any sign that there was a foundation issue to begin with!
This home's foundation was beginning to show signs of failure. Cracks, gaps, doors sticking closed, and more! Our crew permanently stabilized this home's foundation by installing a SmartJack system in the crawl space. These high-capacity and fully-adjustable steel piers are specially designed to stop settling and raise a home's floor back to its original level.
This Elm City home was showing serious signs of foundation settlement most notably stair-step cracks across the brick wall and visible separation between the structure and the soil. Upon inspection, we found unstable soil conditions and pooling water around the footing, which had contributed to the shifting and settling over time.
To solve the issue, our crew installed helical piers, anchoring the foundation deep into stable, load-bearing soil. This method not only stopped further movement but provided an opportunity to lift and stabilize the affected section of the home.
Now, the area has been fully restored. The cracks are no longer worsening, the soil has been regraded and straw-covered, and the home’s structural integrity is secure. From visible distress to lasting peace of mind this transformation is exactly what foundation support should look like.
Helical piers stabilize a foundation by anchoring it to stable soil deep underground. They prevent further settlement or shifting caused by poor soil conditions, such as expansive clay or erosion.
