Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settlement in Clarksville, TN
This Clarksville, TN home's foundation was settling. The homeowner noticed that the exterior of the home had some cracks around the window frames. "Stair stepping" cracks are some of the earliest signs of foundation issues in a home. When caught in the early stages, foundation settlement is a relatively easy fix. After completing a free inspection of the home's foundation, our design specialist recommended helical piers to raise and stabilize the home's foundation.
We installed several helical piers around the perimeter of the home to stabilize the home's foundation. The helical piers are installed deep into the soil below the home where the soil is compacted and able to bear the heavy weight of the home. The weight of the home is transferred to the piers which then transfers the weight into more stable soil. This will permanently lift and stabilize the home's settling foundation. The homeowner is satisfied with the quality of work that was completed.
