This Greensboro, NC homeowner noticed signs of settlement around their chimney, prompting the need for a permanent foundation repair solution. Our team installed push piers beneath the affected chimney footing to help stabilize the structure and address ongoing settlement concerns.
The installation process involved carefully excavating around the chimney foundation to expose the footing before hydraulically driving heavy-duty steel push piers deep into stable load-bearing soil. Once installed, the system helps provide long-term support to the chimney and surrounding structure, protecting the home from further movement and structural damage.
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.
Unprotected and unreliable, this crawl space caused more problems then it solved. We installed our vapor barrier and dehumidifier to rid it of water evaporation and lower the humidity levels. We also supported the floor above with SmartJacks on steel beam supports to keep the floor from sagging and cracking.
The SmartJack system is the only floor-stabilizing solution that addresses the root cause of sagging floors - the weak soils below. SmartJacks are fully-adjustable steel piers that permanently stop settlement in its tracks and lift the floors back to their original position.
A brick foundation wall in this customers full-basement was bowing and cracked. The Geo-Lock Channel Anchor System provides a permanent solution for bowing, buckling, tilting, or inward-moving foundation walls that are demonstrating signs of extreme wall failure. In addition to the Anchor System, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier was fastened to the wall to prevent moisture from passing through.
