Signs of Foundation Settlement
The wall near the front door of the home was cracking due to parts of the foundation settling away from the rest.
Further Signs of Foundation Settlement
We don't see this too often because we're often called to repair a foundation before it gets this bad, but here is a photo of the ceiling cracking.
Foundation Inspection
Photo taken by our Structural Consultant, Jesse Marquez, who did a thorough investigation of the home to find the problem areas and to come up with a solution.
SmartJack Installation
Because the foundation was settling, it needed to be lifted in certain areas. Some of the existing wooden posts that were supporting the floor needed to be replaced with our SmartJack Adjustable Steel Posts. Here is a photo of one of our crew members nailing the top plate to the existing beam.
Lift and Stabilize
Here is a photo of two push piers being installed beneath the foundation of the home in order to lift and stabilize it.
