Before & After Photos

In Mount Airy, NC, this home was experiencing foundation settlement that could have led to major structural issues. To address the problem, our team installed a steel push pier system a proven solution to permanently stabilize foundations and offer the best chance to lift the home back to its original position.

Made from durable steel and driven deep into load-bearing soil, push piers are a minimally invasive option that causes little disturbance to the surrounding area. Unlike other foundation solutions that require extended construction timelines, push piers can typically be installed within a single day, making them fast, effective, and efficient.

We installed the GeoLock Wall Anchor System to stabilize the basement wall because it provides a reliable and long-term solution for correcting wall cracks and bowing caused by soil pressure. This system uses anchors placed in stable soil away from the foundation, connected to steel plates on the interior wall, to counteract the pressure and prevent further movement. It’s a proven method to protect the structural integrity of the basement without requiring extensive excavation or reconstruction.

Water was filling this block wall and in addition to flooding the basement put immense pressure on the foundation wall. That pressure formed cracks in the mortar and started to push the wall out. If left unchecked this could easily collapse the wall, so we installed steel beams that brace the wall moving forward.

Among other issues, this basement's wall had started to bow inward. This risk of a wall collapse lead the homeowners to search for a solution. Fortunately, there are different types of solutions for this problem, and we installed a steal beam support that stabilized the cracking wall from further dislocation.

Sagging floors had plagued this home for a while and the homeowners tried a jack system that wasn't getting the job done. We replaced the system with our SmartJacks under a steel beam support. This is a more durable and effective way to hold the floor up.
