Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Lifted and Supported by SmartJacks and Push Piers in Nashville, TN
This Tennessee home had a few issues. The crawl space was in an unhealthy condition and even worse, this home's foundation was slipping causing the house to sink in the middle due to settlement. The homeowners had said that in the beginning, the slope in there home was not that bad, but everything gradually got worse over time. They knew they wanted to keep the house and make sure the value of the home did not plummet, so they called us, Frontier Basement Systems. Our trained inspector, Rob, came out to their home and inspected the property. He then sat down with them and discussed the best foundation products for their home. They agreed that our SmartJack Stabilizer, as well as our Push Pier System were the perfect products to lift their home! Push Pier Details:
Supportworks Push Piers are made of steel and are driven deep into the soil beneath a foundation to solve settlement problems. Push piers can be installed inside or outside your foundation walls and are not visible once the repair is complete. In many scenarios, push piers not only stop settlement but lift the foundation back to its original position, closing cracks and improving window and door operation.
SmartJack Details: The SmartJack is a high-capacity, fully-adjustable steel pier. It is designed to stop settling and can raise your sagging floor back to the proper level. An added plus is the steel piers can be easily adjusted if future settling occurs!They now have a properly supported home and could not be happier!Call us today to schedule a free inspection and estimate!
Unhealthy Crawl Space
When a crawl space isn't sealed properly, moisture can become a bad problem. The moisture from the soil ground absorbs into vital wooden piers, damaging them, and causing interior cracks and sloped floors above.
Interior Cracks
If your doors are not shutting properly and you start to see cracks in your walls the reason is because your walls are "sinking" due to your floors not being properly supported. The cracks will become worse over time, so get the problem fixed today!
SmartJacks
These stabilizers will help lift your floors back to the original position.
Push Piers
Along with their corrosion-resistant design that includes galvanized steel and a 25-year warranty, the Supportworks Push Pier System also includes a patent-pending external sleeve that strengthens the push pier directly below the foundation bracket, which is the most critical location for added structural support.
This external sleeve will strengthen the push pier and prevent the kinking, buckling, and rotation that is commonly seen with other push pier systems.
