Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

After falling victim to soil settlement, our team successfully stabilized this retaining wall using our Helical Pier System. The system involves driving steel shafts with helical plates into the ground until they reach stable soil layers. These piers transfer the load of the structure from weak soil to stronger, more stable soil or bedrock. This process not only stabilizes the structure but also prevents further settlement. 

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 main floor of this home was sagging and had many makeshift supports holding it up. We came in and stabilized the floor permanently with our SmartJack support system.

In Mayodan, NC, we were called to a split-level home built in the early 1960s, where the homeowner was preparing to sell and had concerns about the aging foundation and a driveway over 40 years old. During our inspection, we identified signs of foundation settlement cracking and separation in the brickwork beneath the porch caused by shifting and unstable soil over time. To address these structural issues and provide long-term stability, we installed helical piers, which are precision-engineered steel supports that are screwed deep into stable, load-bearing soil. These piers transfer the weight of the structure away from compromised ground, effectively halting further movement and restoring support to the foundation. This solution not only secures the home structurally but also enhances its resale value, offering confidence and peace of mind to both the current owner and potential buyers.

Our foundation pier system effectively addressed the customer's sinking porch problem in Mayodan, NC, by providing stable support and lifting the porch back to its original position. This system involves installing steel piers deep into the ground until they reach stable soil, which then supports the weight of the structure. This method not only prevents further sinking but also corrects any existing settlement issues, ensuring long-term stability and safety.
