This home was built on top of land that had old mine activity, the earth under the home is now acting like a sinkhole. As the home continues to sink the foundation twist and buckles. The stress of that movement is more than the structure can handle. This home needed permanent soltuions for their foundation problems.
This customer in Madisonville, KY had foundation settlement issues at their home including a sinking foundation, bowing interior walls and cracking on the exterior walls. To fix the situation we installed Push Piers to support the foundation using a low-profile bracket and lifted the foundation back to its correct position. We also installed CarbonArmor with ArmorLock Top Clamp on the interior foundation walls to further support the newly lifted foundation.
The homeowner started noticing sagging floors, low and high spots. They decided to do something before it got too bad and stated damaging the rest of the house, that's where we came in and put Smart Jacks, in to replace the sinking blocks that have wedges stacked in them for (support). They already know of us do to the Clean Space we had put in for them on a prior occasion.
The home owner was aware of mold in his home and garage. He already had a trench drain and sump pump to save the garage from heavy rains. However the walls were bowing in from the hydrostatic pressure. The garage wall was no longer holding back the pressure of the earth around behind the wall. Wall anchors were installed to provide support and protect the foundation of the home.
The owner of this Orlinda, TN home was concerned with the prolonged stability of their home's floor joists. Looking at the floors from inside the crawlspace, we noticed the water damage that was affecting the home's cinderblock supports. As a solution, we installed SmartJacks supports in tandem with the cinderblock supports. Unlike the existing supports, the SmartJacks can be easily adjusted to offer continued support as the home continues to naturally settle.
The homeowner was happy with the proposed solution and the subsequent work that was completed.
