Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settlement Repair in Thompsons Station, TN
This customer in Thompsons Station, TN had an issue with their foundation sinking causing cracking on the exterior of the home and sticking doors and windows. To fix the issue permanently and prevent further damage we used Push Piers on the perimeter of the home's foundation to stabilize and lift it it to its original position.
Foundation 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.
