In Morrisville, NC, an apartment complex faced a daunting challenge: foundation settling had caused significant cracks and chimneys pulling away. As seen in the before photo, the distress was evident. Our solution? Installing Helical Piers, a reliable method to address and prevent further foundational issues. The after photo demonstrates the remarkable transformation – a solid, stabilized foundation promising peace and safety to residents
Foundation piers were installed to stabilize this tilting chimney. The piers were installed around the base of the chimney, attaching the brackets to the footing. Once attached, lift is achieved to secure the chimney back into position. This effectively prevents further leaning and stabilizes the structure.
This homeowner had slanted doors and shifting floors - indicating a serious problem with the foundation. Our team installed SmartJack supports and steel supplemental beams to stop any further sinking of the foundation and begin to raise the house back to its original place.
This crawl space's floor joists had weakened and shifted overtime, causing the floors above to sink. We permanently stabilized the foundation by installing SmartJacks with steel supplemental beams throughout the crawl space. These fully-adjustable steel piers will stop settlement in its tracks and may even lift the floors above back to their original position.
This home, built in 1909, was lacking effective foundation support. Existing support columns had failed and had been replaced with stacks of wooden blocks. The floors were sagging, and the patio had settled and shifted away from the home. Our crew permanently stabilized the bouncing floors with the SmartJack system. These high-capacity steel piers are the only floor stabilizing solution that addresses the root cause of the issue, weak soils!
