This home in Fernandina Beach, FL was experiencing foundation settlement near the corner of the structure. To permanently stabilize the affected area, our team installed helical piers beneath the foundation footing.
Helical piers are engineered steel shafts that are mechanically advanced deep into stable load-bearing soil. Once properly installed, they transfer the weight of the home from shifting surface soils to stronger soils below, stopping further settlement and restoring structural integrity.
By installing these piers at the problem corner, we provided a long-term foundation support solution designed to prevent additional movement and protect the home for years to come.
This Jacksonville Beach crawl space was showing signs of structural weakness, with sagging floors and makeshift wood shims attempting to hold things together. The before image highlights an unsupported, cluttered area that left the home vulnerable to further settling and damage. After our team’s work, a professional SmartJack support system was installed along a steel supplemental beam, providing solid, adjustable support to lift and stabilize the floor above. This upgrade not only reinforces the home's foundation but also ensures long-term durability and peace of mind for the homeowner.
This Jacksonville Beach property was showing signs of foundation settlement, with cracks forming along the exterior wall and uneven areas near the structure. Our team installed a helical pier system to permanently stabilize the foundation and prevent further shifting caused by sandy coastal soil conditions. The piers were driven to load-bearing strata and securely bracketed to the home’s footing, restoring long-term stability. After installation, the area was neatly backfilled and the yard left looking clean and level.
This Saint Johns homeowner noticed significant foundation settling along the side of their home. The brick wall had begun to lean and separate, leaving visible cracks and gaps that only grew worse over time. These symptoms are a clear sign of unstable soils beneath the foundation, which can cause long-term structural damage if left untreated.
Our team installed helical piers, a proven solution for stabilizing and lifting settled foundations. After carefully excavating the affected areas, we advanced steel piers deep into stable soil until they reached load-bearing capacity. Once in place, the piers were securely attached to the foundation with heavy-duty brackets, transferring the weight of the home onto the piers for permanent support.
With the foundation stabilized, this Saint Johns home now has the strength and stability it needs to stand safe for years to come. The homeowner can enjoy peace of mind knowing their property is protected from further settling and damage.
