Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settlement Solution in Paris, TN
This customer in Paris, TN had foundation settlement issues on her home which were causing water issues in her crawlspace and exterior cracks on the home. To mitigate the issue, and prevent further sinking of his home we installed Push Piers to support the foundation using low profile brackets, a Triplesafe complete sump pump system with twin liner, and a backup pump, a drainage system for the crawlspace, and a LawnScape outlet to drain water from gutters away from the structure as to not cause further damage to the foundation of the home.
When soils are unable to bear the load of the structure on top of it, that structure must sink downwards into the ground. This is true with homes, concrete floors, chimneys, and many other structures.
Piers can solve settlement problems by transferring a structure's weight to strong, competent supporting soils at greater depth. Piers can effectively stabilize a settling structure and can even provide jacking points to lift the structure upwards to its original, level position.
