Before & After Photos

Unfortunately, settlement is something that we see pretty regularly. Settlement occurs when the soil under and around the home begins to shift, causing the foundation that is built on it to shift as well. This is usually not a quick process and a building will start with smaller cracks, but the more time that passes, the worse the cracks will get. Fortunately we have a system that works extremely well and lifting and supporting a building's foundation. 

This home had extensive settling on one side of the home, and a small area of foundation cracking in another part of the home. The majority of the push piers were installed around one wall and its adjacent walls. The before photo shows one pretty significant crack in the foundation and several smaller cracks throughout the rest of the photo. These were the beginning of larger cracks that would eventually come.

Fortunately we were able to solve this problem before those cracks got any worse. Just a couple weeks after the initial call, our crew was able to get out to the home, install the push piers and lift this home back towards its original position. In the photo, you can actually see the push pier that does all of the heavy lifting (literally). You can also see that the crack has been corrected and sealed up!

This home in Franklin, NC had some major foundation issues on the back side of their home. There were several smaller cracks, but one huge one, which is shown in this before and after. These cracks were mainly due to foundation settlement and needed push piers in order to correct these cracks and for the home to have a sturdy foundation.

The "before" photo shows off shows this gap that was fixed using the push piers. As the tape measure shows, this gap was about an inch wide, which is pretty significant when referring to a crack in a home. This was already past the point of being an issue and needed to be taken care of sooner, rather than later.

The "after" photo shows how big of a difference the push piers that our crew installed, made. The gap was almost completely closed, and with a little mortar, the crack will completely disappear. These push piers do a great job in transforming a home and make it much safer for the homeowners to live in.
