Cracking & Moving Walls
Inside the home, the wall reveals that the foundation was settling. The settlement worried the homeowner that the safety of his home was in jeopardy, so he gave Woods Basement Systems a call.
Cracks Throughout Home
The office wasn't the only area in the house that experienced cracking! Throughout the home, cracks were found in several common areas that signal foundation settlement. These areas were around the doors and windows of the house.
Gap Widdening
Another concern was the continuous deepening of the cracks that later transformed into gaps. It's essential to note that these cracks will only worsen over time. Taking action to permanently protect the home from serve damage will only benefit the homeowner in the long run from more costly repairs.
Push Pier System
To prevent further structural damage, a push pier system was installed in the footing of the foundation to lift and lock the foundation into place.
Permanent Foundation Repair
Push piers are the optimal solution because they not only lock the foundation back into place, but they also create minimal disturbance to the installation space. These push piers can be installed both inside and outside of the home for a quick foundation repair.
