Foundation Repair Photo Album: Repairing Foundation Settlement Issues in Dunn, NC
Due to foundation settlement, cracks appeared on the customer's brick foundation. These cracks were several inches long and clearly visible. To fix the cracks and stabilize the foundation, ensuring structural integrity, the customer contacted our office for help. After a thorough assessment, it was determined the visible cracks on the customer's brick foundation, indicated foundation settlement. These cracks were a clear sign that the foundation was shifting and settling. Our foundation Helical Pier System was installed deep into the ground until they reach stable soil. The helical plates on the piers act like screws, providing stability and support to the foundation. This helps transfer the weight of the structure to the stable soil, preventing further settlement. Once the installation was complete, the site was inspected to ensure the foundation is stable and secure.
