The soil around the foundation became so saturated with water that the hydrostatic pressure built up against the wall caused it to crack and bow. To permanently stabilize the wall and prevent further bowing and cracking, we installed our GeoLock Anchor System. Heavy-duty steel earth anchors are buried in stable soil away from the foundation wall, and connected to steel wall plates on the inside of the wall by galvanized rods.
The home's ground floor started to sag and the supports in the crawl space were worn out. We installed our SmartJacks with a steal beam support to stabilize and hold the floor back from further sagging.
This brick home started to form stress cracks inside the crawl space and was sloping away on one side. So, we shored up these foundation issues by installing helical piers under the home.
Unprotected and unreliable, this crawl space caused more problems then it solved. We installed our vapor barrier and dehumidifier to rid it of water evaporation and lower the humidity levels. We also supported the floor above with SmartJacks on steel beam supports to keep the floor from sagging and cracking.
The weight of the house started to be too much for the piers to carry. The floor inside the home was sagging, so we stabilized it by installing our SmartJacks in the crawl space.
