Photo Album: Permanent Stabilization Solution to Foundation Settlement Problems in Eastover, NC

Foundation settlement issues can lead to severe problems for your home if not addressed. Once this Eastover, NC homeowner noticed signs of foundation settlement on the exterior of their brick home, they decided to schedule a free, no-cost obligation foundation repair inspection and quote with Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair expert, Justin S. Upon completion of the foundation inspection, Justin quickly diagnosed the problem. To permanently solve the foundation problem, Justin recommended installing steel foundation support piers to stabilize the structure of the home and potentially lift it back to its original position.    The most noticeable sign that the homeowners needed a structural support system was cracking on the exterior of the foundation wall. Stair-step cracking is one of the surest signs of foundation settlement and is very common in brick in concrete block walls. As the settlement continues, vertical cracks may widen or become uneven as wall sections tilt away from each other, indicating more severe displacement. Foreman, Austin H. and his crew installed the PushPier System. These steel foundation piers are secured to the footing, while pier sections are hydraulically driven through each bracket. Pier sections continue to be driven downwards until the piers meet stable soil. When all push piers have been installed, they will work in unison to transfer the weight of the structure to the strong soils or bedrock below. Once the pier system was installed, Austin and the crew backfilled the area with soil. The homeowner was very happy with the outcome of the installation and is pleased to know the structure of their home has a permanent support system.  If you have noticed signs of foundation settlement, we can help!
