Foundation Services Before & After Photos

This home had the corner of their home splitting apart due to foundation soil shifting. We installed helical piers to fix the problem. 

When a foundation wall is caught early on in the bowing process, we like to use Carbon Armor to stabilize the wall back to health. The best thing about Carbon Armor is it is really easy to install and really flexible. After the first layer of epoxy is applied to the wall, we then lay the carbon fiber strip to the wall, we then apply another couple layers of epoxy. The wall is saved after that. 

Our helical piers were installed in this house's foundation to save the house from sinking. The piers cause little disturbance and are invisible! 

Sometimes its easier to put piers in through the basement floor rather than outside the basement walls. That's what we did here for this homeowner to stop their foundation from settling and causing cracks in their home. 

Seen in the before picture is the side of the brick house that was sinking into unstable soil. This was causing stair-step cracking in the bricks and sticky windows. If left untreated, the bricks on the side of the house could eventually fall off completely, as we have seen before. It's important to catch this problem early on, that way we can actually raise the foundation back without hurting the siding of your house. When we attach the piers, we have a handheld hydraulic device that can raise the foundation back slowly. We were able to close the cracks and fix the sticky windows. This beautiful brick house won't have to worry about settlement anymore.
