Before & After Photos

Water affected the foundation by causing soil erosion and instability, leading to settlement. Excessive water can wash away soil beneath the foundation, creating voids and causing the foundation to sink or settle unevenly. Helical piers were installed to stabilize and support the foundation by transferring the structure's weight to more stable soil layers below.

Mold and rot thrive in humid, damp, or flooded crawl spaces. There are a variety of insects that feed on organic materials in your crawl space, including termites, carpenter ants, wood-eating beetles, and other damaging insects. Eventually, deteriorating wood will no longer support your home, causing significant structural damage. For permanent stabilization, SmartJack Support Posts are the best solution.

Our team was able to lift, level, and stabilize this customers sagging floor above their crawl space using our SmartJack System. 

For this outside installation, the soil around the foundation must be excavated to expose the footing at each pier location

A section of the footing will be cut away so that the steel bracket connected to the pier will support the wall directly. This approach will provide more effective support than lifting the section of the footing that extends beyond the walls.

Once all piers and brackets have been installed, the settlement of your foundation will be permanently halted.

At this time, our team will determine whether or not it makes sense to lift the foundation back to its original position. This operation has the potential to close cracks in the foundation and return doors, locks, and windows to their original functionality! When complete, backfill of stone and/or soil is used to fill the areas where the piers were installed to clean a clean and level finish.
