From the yard, you can see how water drainage issues created a low spot near the patio. Over time, the excess moisture softened the soil around the foundation, causing the home to settle unevenly. This early sign of foundation trouble is what led to the need for both drainage solutions and helical pier installation.
To stabilize the settling foundation, our team installed helical piers beneath the home's footing. These steel piers are drilled deep into stable soil layers, then secured with heavy-duty brackets to provide permanent structural support. This process not only stops further settlement but also helps restore the foundation to its proper position.
To prevent future settlement, we also addressed the drainage issues contributing to the problem. Our team installed a new surface drain with buried PVC piping to redirect water away from the home's foundation. The pavers were carefully removed to make room for the system and will be reset once the installation is complete, ensuring both protection and a clean finish.
Our crew connected the new PVC drainage lines to catch basins placed throughout the yard. These basins collect surface water and direct it through the underground system, preventing water from pooling near the home. By tying everything together, the drainage system ensures water flows safely away, protecting both the soil and the stabilized foundation.
With the helical piers stabilizing the foundation and the new drainage system directing water away, the pavers were reset to restore the patio's appearance. The area is now fully functional and protected against future water damage or settlement, giving the homeowner peace of mind with a dry, stable foundation.
