Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This Hillsborough home was experiencing sagging floors and structural instability due to unsupported floor joists in the crawl space. As shown in the "before" photo, there were signs of shifting and inadequate support including makeshift cinder blocks and exposed soil, which offered no long-term protection or reliability.

To permanently resolve the issue, our team installed a reliable SmartJack system. The "after" photo shows the secure galvanized steel jack anchored on a pre-engineered footing designed to lift and stabilize the floor system. Now, this homeowner can enjoy a level floor and lasting peace of mind knowing their crawl space is fully supported.

This Sanford, NC home was experiencing foundation wall movement, visible through horizontal cracking along the block wall. Horizontal cracks are a common sign of pressure from surrounding soil pushing inward against the foundation. If left untreated, this type of movement can worsen over time, leading to bowing walls, structural instability, and costly repairs.

Our team installed structural reinforcement beams to stabilize the wall and prevent further inward movement. By addressing the issue early, we restored strength and stability to the foundation, helping protect the home’s structure and providing long-term peace of mind for the homeowner.

To restore this homes settling foundation, our team installed our Foundation Helical Pier System. The piers are driven deep into the ground and attached to the footing of the home. Once lift and stabilization is achieved, the pier location is filled with soil. 

This Chapel Hill crawl space underwent a full transformation with the installation of helical piers and a CleanSpace vapor barrier system. The helical piers were strategically installed beneath the foundation to permanently stabilize and support the structure, addressing signs of settlement and preventing future movement. Once stabilization was complete, the crawl space was encapsulated with a CleanSpace vapor barriercreating a sealed, moisture-controlled environment. This system not only improves air quality and energy efficiency but also protects the home from mold, humidity, and structural damage.

This Chapel Hill, NC crawl space was showing symptoms of concern high moisture levels, exposed dirt, and weakened floor support. The sagging insulation and damp environment were clear signs that the crawl space was not properly sealed or supported, which can lead to mold growth, poor air quality, and uneven floors inside the home.

To solve these issues, our team installed a full encapsulation system along with SmartJack support posts to stabilize the floors above. The encapsulation sealed out ground moisture with a durable vapor barrier, while the SmartJacks provided reliable, adjustable support to address sagging beams. Together, these solutions protect the crawl space from humidity, improve energy efficiency, and restore the structural integrity of the home.

Now, this Chapel Hill crawl space is clean, dry, and structurally sound providing long-term protection and peace of mind for the homeowner.
