Wall gaps and cracks form due to foundation settlement, which occurs when the soil beneath a home expands, contracts, or shifts, causing the foundation to move. This movement can lead to structural damage, including gaps and cracks in walls. Our SmartJack system helps by stabilizing and leveling the foundation, preventing further settlement and reducing the risk of additional damage.
Foundation piers were installed to repair our customer's settling foundation to stabilize and potentially lift the foundation back to its original position. These piers are driven deep into the ground until they reach stable soil layers, providing a solid support system to counteract soil movement and prevent further settling.
Helical piers stabilize failing foundations by being driven deep into the ground until they reach stable soil. They then transfer the weight of the structure from the unstable soil to the stable soil or bedrock below, providing additional support and preventing further settlement or movement of the foundation.
This brick home in Jacksonville, NC was experiencing foundation settlement, threatening the long-term stability of the structure. Our team installed a series of heavy-duty Helical Piers to transfer the load of the home to more stable soil below ensuring long-lasting support and protection. After installation, we backfilled the area and left the yard clean and level. A solid solution for a home built to stand the test of time!
We permanently stabilized this home's sagging floors by installing SmartJacks with steel supplemental beams throughout the crawl space. These fully-adjustable steel piers stop settlement in its tracks and may even lift the floors all the way back to their original position.
