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.
This Jacksonville property was showing signs of foundation settlement, including visible wall cracks and structural shifting. These symptoms are often caused by unstable or eroding soil beneath the building’s foundation.
To permanently stabilize the structure, our crew installed helical piers along the affected wall. These deep foundation supports are drilled into stable soil layers, transferring the building’s weight onto more reliable ground. This solution not only halts further settlement but also restores long-term stability and protects the integrity of the commercial space.
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.
