Photo Album: Permanent Solution for Foundation Settlement in Wilmington, NC
A homeowner in Wilmington, NC contacted our office seeking a permanent solution to their sinking and cracked foundation. Sinking and cracked foundations can be due to various causes such as poor soil compaction, improper drainage, excessive moisture, or hydrostatic pressure. These issues can lead to the settlement and shifting of the home's foundation, causing cracks and damage to the structure. As soon as one of our foundation repair experts visited the customer's home, he provided a thorough inspection to diagnose the problem. Cracks around the window sills and on the exterior of the home were determined to be due to foundation settlement. To permanently stabilize the foundation and potentially close cracks, we installed our foundation pier system.
