Foundation Repair Photo Album: Problematic Foundation is Permanently Stabilized in Clarksville, TN
This Tennessee resident's home was experiencing fairly bad foundation issues. Whether the soil was not prepared correctly before the home was built or mother nature wreaked havoc on the soil.. this home needed some support help! When our inspector got to the home he spotted a cracked cement porch and cracks in the brick wall! When he looked inside, he found cracks inside the home too! Their crawl space was in need of a full encapsulation and SmartJacks to help support the floor beams. The weight of furniture and people can take quite the toll on homes. Our crew got to work on waterproofing and installing products to support the homes foundation.
Porch Crack
The pressure of soil was the likely reasoning for this cement slab to crack.
Cracks in Brick
This home is need need of a pick-me-up!
Making Room for Push Piers
The soil must first be removed in order to expose the foundation footing.. which is where the pier will be driven!
Push Piers
We're not done until the desired lift is achieved!
Permanently Stabilized
The weight of the home is now transferred through the piers to the load-bearing soil. It is back-filled and cemented in. They now have a permanent solution for their home!
