This home had a shifting foundation that was resulting in cracks. The before picture shows our piers attached, but not yet lifted. The after shows the closed gap after we lifted the footers with our hydraulic device. Gone be sticky windows and doors!
We installed piers on this house to keep it from sinking. We were also able to raise it back.
Greenfield is experiencing a class D3 drought right now, which is causing soil to shrink away from many foundations. When this happens foundation settlement becomes a very serious issue. Our solution is to drill steel piers into deep depths into the soil, then attaching the piers to the homes footers. Call us for a free inspection!
This homeowner called us because they noticed horizontal cracks in their foundation walls and they noticed that the walls were bowing in more and more over time. They knew they were going to need some reinforcing to protect their home, so they called us. We installed our steel zinc-coated PowerBraces on all the walls that were bowing in. PowerBraces are great because they are designed to not only realign the walls over time, but they also protect floor joists from damage, unlike other steel beams other contractors may install.
Greene County has many homes experiencing foundation settlement, like seen in this home. Stair-step cracking on the outside brick of the home was the surest sign of settlement. We stabilized the foundation by installing steel piers to the footers of the foundation. If you are experiencing foundation settlement, be sure to give us a call for a free estimate.
