Foundation Repair of CA Before & After Photos

In the Before photo, you see the push piers installed along the side of this house, including beneath the chimney. The red cylinders are sleeves that our hydraulic press uses to push the steel tubes into the Earth to reach bedrock. In the After photo, you see how the property looks after the installation of the push piers. 

Does walking through your house feel more like a hike? Our SmartJack Adjustable Steel Post System can help fix that. 

After watching a House Flipping show, this homeowner learned that cracked concrete on his property could cause serious foundation issues in the future (namely the fact that water can easily find its way through the cracks and into the foundation). 

To seal the cracks, we injected NexusPro Joint Sealant which is proven to last over 20 years, which is twice as long as traditional urethane-based sealants. To further protect the driveway, we applied a coat of SealantPro which is a sealant (obviously) that permanently bonds with the pores of the concrete to protect it from pitting, flaking, and cracking. 

The interior foundation of this home was cracking due to the oxidized rebar within it. To fix this problem, we chipped out the crack in the foundation until we reached the rusted, oxidized rebar. We cut it out, and replaced it with a new #4 Fiberglass stick of rebar with a development length of 12 inches on both sides. We then patched the area with new concrete and sealed it with epoxy and a Carbon Armor strip. 

The foundation of this home was in trouble. It had cracked so badly that pieces of it fell off. This was partly due to the oxidization of the rebar within it. Moisture can find it's way to the rebar either during the installation of the rebar or even possibly through some very tiny holes or cracks in the foundation itself. 

To fix this problem, we removed the oxidized rebar, replaced it with new #4 Fiberglass Rebar with a development length of 12 inches on both sides (Development Length = the length of the new Fiberglass Rebar that will be doweled into the existing foundation that doesn't need to be removed for the project). Then we sealed the area with brand new concrete.
