Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

After this homeowner noticed doors sticking closed and cracks appearing in existing support beams, he contacted Carolina Basement Systems to permanently stabilize his foundation. Our team fixed this problem with the use of fully adjustable steel piers called SmartJacks. This system is designed to stop sinking in its tracks and lift sagging floors back to their original position. 

This damp and musty crawl space environment was causing the wooden support beams to weaken and the floors above to sink and sag down. Our expert team permanently stabilized the floors with the SmartJack system. These fully adjustable steel piers stop sagging in its tracks and can even lift the floors above back to their original position. Our crew then installed our ultra-durable CleanSpace encapsulation system to seal, cover, and protect the crawl space from any moisture or cold drafts.

This Durham, NC home was showing signs of foundation settlement, including stair-step cracking along the exterior brick and doors and windows that had become difficult to close. Our crew installed 12 Helical Piers to permanently stabilize and lift the structure back to its proper position.

Each pier features a patented steel bracket and external sleeve designed to strengthen the system directly below the bracket, preventing kinking or bending that can weaken other foundation repair methods. Helical Piers are a long-lasting solution that can be installed without the need for heavy equipment making the process efficient, precise, and minimally invasive to the surrounding landscape.

This installation restored both the stability and value of the home, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind.

This Durham, NC home was showing signs of foundation settlement, including cracks in the brick exterior and uneven areas along the base of the home. Our team identified the issue as soil movement causing the foundation to shift. To permanently stabilize the structure, we installed push piers beneath the footing to lift and secure the foundation back to its proper position.

In addition to foundation repair, the homeowner’s basement was professionally waterproofed to prevent future water intrusion and moisture damage. Together, these solutions restored the home’s structural stability, improved drainage around the foundation, and protected the basement from leaks ensuring long-term safety and peace of mind.

Uneven pressure was leveraging the foundation of this home to the point that it was cracking. We prevented the catastrophic possibilities of floor, wall, and foundation damage by installing our helical piers to lift and stabilize the sinking foundation.
