We permanently stabilized and leveled these sagging floors by installing SmartJacks with steel supplemental beams throughout the crawl space. These fully-adjustable steel piers immediately stop settlement in its tracks and lift the floors above back to their original position.
With 92 linear feet of buried downspouts, the next time it rains, water will drain away from the homes foundation so it won't flood the basement or cause structural damage.
Helical piers stabilize failing foundations by being driven deep into the ground until they reach stable soil. They then transfer the weight of the structure from the unstable soil to the stable soil or bedrock below, providing additional support and preventing further settlement or movement of the foundation.
This customer had sinking floors above their crawl space. We installed our SmartJack Support System to lift, level, and stabilize the floors to their original position.
To prevent flooding, we installed an exterior French drain system connected to buried downspouts. We dug a trench around the perimeter and placed a perforated pipe on a gravel bed. The downspouts were directed into the drain, and the trench was backfilled with gravel and soil. This system effectively diverts water away from the foundation, reducing the risk of flooding.
