Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner just purchased his home and has big plans to fix it up. Before moving forward with his projects he wanted to address his chimney that is leaning away from the house. It's fairly common for fireplaces to settle and can be caused by several things. The back-fill soil could be sinking and no longer supporting the structure or the gutters and downspouts may not be moving water far enough from the foundation. To support this chimney, we installed two push piers. The push piers will permanently support the fireplace by taking soil out of the equation. 

This homeowner likes to keep her house nice and remain proactive about potential problems. A couple of her concrete slabs near the garage were starting to settle and there were strong signs of street creep. There were vertical cracks forming in their garage and that pressure was about to reach the foundation wall which would cause serious damage. After we lifted and leveled the slabs, we installed a CompressionGuard, as seen in the "After" photo, to prevent any additional damage caused by street creep. 

These customers had no idea they had a foundation issue until they wanted to get new windows installed. The window company mentioned that they believed the cracks on the outside of the house indicated something more was going on. We found that the home's foundation was settling and to fix that we installed 13 push piers to the outside of the home. 

This customer and his wife have lived in their home for 30 years now. At some point, they hope to sell their home and move out of the state. They want to ensure that their basement wall does not cave in to ensure their property value. This clay brick home is over 100 years old and hydrostatic pressure over all of those years caused the wall to bow. We installed our EverBrace system to stabilize the wall and ensure that it won't cave in.

Eric and his wife are worried that their floor is going to fall through and cause irreparable damage. You can see in the "before" photo how they were once sinking. The couple used to live in an RV, so it's important to them that this home is taken care of because they plan on staying there. To stabilize the sagging floors, we supported the beam under the floor using eight SmartJacks. SmartJacks are designed to stop settling, can raise sagging floors back to the proper level, and are adjustable!
