Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This Durham, NC homeowner was experiencing foundation settlement near the garage corner, a common issue caused by unstable or shifting soil. To permanently stabilize the foundation, our team installed helical piers, which are engineered steel supports driven deep into load-bearing soil. These piers transfer the weight of the home away from weak surface soils, helping prevent further movement and protecting the structural integrity of the home for years to come.

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.

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.
