Foundation Services Before & After Photos

Many homes in the Hillsboro area are experiencing a certified draught, which is causing settlement issues for many homes. For this home, their back porch was sinking because of dried up soil, and so we installed piers to stabilize it. If you are experiencing a sinking foundation in the Hillsboro area, be sure to give us a call for a free inspection. 

The wall in this basement had developed a substantial horizontal crack, caused by external pressure over time. Fortunately, because the top and bottom sections of the wall remained stable, our PowerBrace system was employed to correct the problem. PowerBraces, specifically designed to spread the wall’s weight across the basement floor and ceiling joists, prevent further damage to these areas. These braces are straightforward to install, typically taking just one day, and can gradually restore the wall to its original position. Additionally, their flexible design allows them to be fitted around obstacles, such as a fuse box.

The main beam in the ceiling of this basement had become warped from excessive use. To add extra support and to stop the floors from sagging from the floor above, we installed SmartJacks and a supplemental beam across the main beam. The result was a success. 

We used our helical pier system to push this chimney back up against the home. Our piers are driven deep into load-bearing depths, allowing us to guarantee the structure will be stabilized. The result of this project was a happy homeowner who doesn't have to worry any longer.

Experiencing sticky doors in your home? What about cracked brick? If so, your house may be settling. We can fix it though with our helical pier system. Our pier system also includes hydraulic lifts that can actually lift your foundation back.
