After watching a House Flipping show, this homeowner learned that cracked concrete on his property could cause serious foundation issues in the future (namely the fact that water can easily find its way through the cracks and into the foundation).
To seal the cracks, we injected NexusPro Joint Sealant which is proven to last over 20 years, which is twice as long as traditional urethane-based sealants. To further protect the driveway, we applied a coat of SealantPro which is a sealant (obviously) that permanently bonds with the pores of the concrete to protect it from pitting, flaking, and cracking.
The interior foundation of this home was cracking due to the oxidized rebar within it. To fix this problem, we chipped out the crack in the foundation until we reached the rusted, oxidized rebar. We cut it out, and replaced it with a new #4 Fiberglass stick of rebar with a development length of 12 inches on both sides. We then patched the area with new concrete and sealed it with epoxy and a Carbon Armor strip.
The foundation of this home was in trouble. It had cracked so badly that pieces of it fell off. This was partly due to the oxidization of the rebar within it. Moisture can find it's way to the rebar either during the installation of the rebar or even possibly through some very tiny holes or cracks in the foundation itself.
To fix this problem, we removed the oxidized rebar, replaced it with new #4 Fiberglass Rebar with a development length of 12 inches on both sides (Development Length = the length of the new Fiberglass Rebar that will be doweled into the existing foundation that doesn't need to be removed for the project). Then we sealed the area with brand new concrete.
This residence, located in San Jose, was experiencing a sagging floor. Through internet research, they found us and set an appointment with Stephanie Kaona, our Appointment Center Manager. Our Structural Consultant, Brett Cesarin, came to perform a Free Home Inspection. In his conclusion, he found that the home was settling on the Western side. He drew up a quote, which the homeowner's reviewed and quickly signed.
Our crew, lead by Foreman, Troy Knight, installed a total of 7 Push Piers that lifted and stabilized the foundation from future settlement.
Mr. and Mrs. W recently bought their home with the knowledge that the garage had foundation issues.
Due to the decorative concrete that they had on the exterior of the garage, we changed the locations of our Push Piers to the interior where the concrete would be easier to replicate. Here you see the installation of a push pier to lift and stabilize the foundation and then the end of the installation when the hole is backfilled and new concrete is poured.
