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.
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.
This troubled home was experiencing severe foundation failure that was apparent via the large stair-step cracks that had appeared on the exterior brick walls. A corner of this home seemed to be separating and sinking into the ground. Our expert crew permanently stabilized this home's foundation by installing 8 helical piers. These galvanized piers are screwed into the ground and transfer the weight of the home to load bearing soil or bedrock. In this case, they were even able to lift the foundation up to be closer to its original position - closing the giant gap in the bricks that had previously appeared.
