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

This customer called in Nashville, TN called Frontier when they noticed cracks and separation on her home's exterior bricks, siding, and interior crawl space walls. These are clear indications 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. 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 the cracks.

Taking Measurements

We take measurements all over the entire structure to see where the settlement is happening. This helps us determine the best place for installing Push Piers and also how much they will need to lift the structure.
