This apartment complex owner contacted our office after noticing cracks on the brick foundation. After assessing the foundation, it was determined the building was facing a settlement issue. To stop further sink and cracks forming, our team installed our foundation pier system.
We installed foundation piers to repair the sinking foundation because they provide deep support, stabilize the structure, and prevent further settlement. Foundation piers are driven deep into the ground until they reach stable soil or bedrock, effectively transferring the building's weight to more solid ground. This method addresses the underlying cause of the sinking, such as soil erosion or poor compaction, ensuring a long-term solution. Additionally, foundation piers can help restore the structural integrity of the building, prevent further damage, and improve overall safety.
Water regularly flowed through the foundation walls in this basement. The wall started to bow and crack. We waterproofed the interior and stabilized the block walls with our patented PowerBraces.
Moisture in this crawl space led to bouncy floors above it. To eliminate the floors from feeling uneven or bouncy, we installed our SmartJack System. SmartJack posts are installed by placing them beneath the floor joists in the crawl space, providing additional support to the floor structure. This helps to stabilize and level the floors, reducing bounciness and improving overall structural integrity.
The main floor of this home started to sink and sag. We installed our SmartJacks under the home to stop the sagging and push the floor back into place.
