Foundation Repair Photo Album: Push Piers and WaterGuard in Nashville, TN

This home in Nashville Tennessee was having a few different problems, but Frontier was able to figure everything out. Their home was having water problems as well as foundation problems. Unfortunately, these two things normally go hand in hand, foundation problems normally lead to water problems or vice versa. Frontier sent out a design specialist to diagnose the problems and go over everything with the homeowner. Together with the homeowner it was decided that push piers and WaterGuard was the best solution for this home.

Outdoor cracks.

You can see the cracks on the outside of the home in this picture. The cracks that look like a staircase are often a really good indication of foundation settlement.

Indoor cracks.

The cracks in this foundation can both be seen from the inside and the outside. You can also see the moisture and water seeping through this cracks. This makes the inside of this basement extremely humid. A humid environment with organic material can easily create mold.

Push Piers

Push Piers were installed to correct the settlement problems. Holes are dug around the home and push piers are inserted into those holes. These piers are then used to lift the home to return it to where it was before the settlement occurred.

WaterGuard

WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of this basement. This is designed to collect all the water that seeps in around the edge of the basement wall. This water then goes to the TripleSafe sump pump.

TripleSafe

This is the TripleSafe sump pump, it is designed to take all the water that is collected in the WaterGuard away from the home to ensure it does not come back.
