Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

We installed our foundation pier system to stabilize a customer's sinking foundation because it provides a permanent solution to address foundation settlement. The system works by transferring the weight of the structure to stable soil layers deep below the surface, preventing further sinking and restoring the foundation to its original position. This approach ensures long-term stability and protects the structural integrity of the property.

In Cary, NC, this home was experiencing foundation settlement, which can lead to structural instability if left unaddressed. The “before” image shows our crew excavating along the foundation and installing helical piers specialized screw-like supports designed to anchor deep into stable soil and provide lasting support for the home. These piers effectively transfer the weight of the structure to load-bearing strata, halting further movement and restoring stability. Once the piers were installed and the foundation was secured, the excavated area was backfilled, graded, and covered with straw to promote new grass growth. The “after” image highlights the restored yard, ensuring both the structural integrity and curb appeal of the property.

Foundation piers were installed to stabilize this tilting chimney. The piers were installed around the base of the chimney, attaching the brackets to the footing. Once attached, lift is achieved to secure the chimney back into position. This effectively prevents further leaning and stabilizes the structure. 

This homeowner had slanted doors and shifting floors - indicating a serious problem with the foundation. Our team installed SmartJack supports and steel supplemental beams to stop any further sinking of the foundation and begin to raise the house back to its original place.

These photos show a foundation repair project completed in Cary, NC, where the home was showing signs of settlement along the brick exterior. Symptoms included visible cracks in the mortar joints and separation around the window frames, indicating movement in the foundation. To address this issue, our team installed a series of helical piers beneath the affected section of the home. By driving these steel piers deep into stable soil, we were able to permanently stabilize the structure, protect against further settlement, and restore peace of mind for the homeowner.
