This home's sinking foundation issues were obvious via these large stair-step cracks on along the exterior brick walls. These types of issues occur due to weak soils below. Overtime, as moisture accumulates in the foundation soils, they weaken and shift causing the structure above to settle and shift as well. These are serious issues that need to be addressed as soon as signs appear. Foundation issues never go away, they only get bigger!
Our expert crew permanently stabilized this home's troubled foundation by installing 8 helical piers. This involves digging holes deep enough to see under the footing of the house and using a piece of mechanical equipment to 'screw' in the piers.
These galvanized piers transfer the weight of the home to load bearing soil or bedrock. In many cases, helical piers can even lift the foundation back to its original position - leaving the structure as good as new!
