Foundation Services Photo Album: Sinking Sunroom Stabilized in Yellow Springs, OH
A home built in 2008 was having problems with cracking, sticking windows, and a sinking foundation in Yellow Springs, Ohio. The homeowner met with Chris, a Certified Inspector, who recommended that our Helical Pier System is installed to resolve the foundation problems. The Helical Pier System was used to permanently stabilize the foundation and lifted the foundation back to a level position. The Helical Pier is mechanically screwed into the soil until it reaches competent soil or bedrock. A bracket is attached to the pier and to the home's foundation footer. The weight of the home is then transferred from the unstable soil to the competent soil stabilizing the home. The Helical Pier System will give the homeowner peace of mind and restore the property value of the home.
Pier Brackets
The Bracket is attached to the pier and the home's foundation footer.
Helical Pier System
The Helical Pier System is installed at the footer so it is not seen once the project is finished.
Foundation Leveling
The Helical Pier System immediately stabilizes the foundation and we successfully leveled out this floor.
Problematic Area
We installed 5 piers all around the windows of this sunroom.
Uneven Floors and Windows
Settling can really disrupt a beautiful, finished room like this. Sticking windows, sagging floors, and even cracking dry wall could all occur if not addressed properly.
