Sinking Foundation Repair in Cary, NC

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.

Helical Pier Installation for Foundation Stabilization - Cary, NC

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.
