Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settlement Repair in Brentwood, TN

This customer in Brentwood, TN called Frontier when they noticed cracks and separation on the home's exterior bricks. They also noticed in the same area; the window was separating from the structure. This is a clear indication that this area of the home was sinking and there was a foundation issue that needed to be addressed before it could get any worse. We were able to come out and install Push Piers on the side of the home that was sinking both on the exterior foundation, and the interior inside the crawl space. Foundation Supportworks Push Piers are made of steel and are driven deep into the soil beneath a foundation to solve settlement problems. They can be installed inside or outside your foundation walls and are not visible once the repair is complete. Push piers not only stop settlement but lift the foundation back to its original position, closing cracks and improving window and door operation.

Cracking in the Crawl Space Foundational Walls

The foundational walls inside the crawl space are cracking as well.

Excavating the Area

Dirt is excavated around the foundation where the piers are to be installed.

Push Pier Installation Process

Strong and stable. Our pier system will permanently solve your foundation settlement problem.

Installation Process

Rugged, interlocking steel pier sections are hydraulically driven through the bracket until bedrock or stable soil is reached. The weight of the home is then transferred through the piers to this load-bearing soil.

Lifting the Foundation

Once piers are in place your foundation contractors will attempt to lift the foundation, elevating the settled foundation back to its original position.

Project Completion

Once the homeowner and installing contractor are satisfied with the stabilization or amount of lift, the soil can be backfilled. The home is now permanently stabilized in its new position.
