The primary cause of foundation settlement after a home is soil changes around it. In addition to poorly compacted fill soils, extreme moisture changes, such as droughts and over saturation, can cause soil movement. As a result, your home shifts and settles, causing cracked walls, uneven floors, and sinking foundations. Helical piers were installed to permanently stabilize and lift the sunken foundation of the home.
Here is a great picture that shows you how Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair is able to fix your foundation issues, cover up the job site and it is almost as if they were never even there.
George contacted Southeast Foundation and Crawl Space Repair after being referred by a friend to fix the foundation of his mothers home in Wilmington, NC. The home was experiencing cracks on the brick exterior walls on the garage area. Our crew installed the Push Pier System to lift the home back to its original level and close the crack.
As this foundation settled, it began to shift and move, leading to cracks that separate the bricks. This can compromise the integrity of the foundation and the overall stability of the building. Stabilizing a settling foundation using helical piers is essential because it prevents further damage to the building, ensuring it remains safe and secure. This method provides a reliable, long-term solution by transferring the weight of the structure to stable soil layers, addressing the root cause of the problem and saving you from costly future repairs.
Do you see cracks on the side of your home or perhaps inside as well? Do you have a difficult time closing or opening stuck doors? These are all symptoms of a foundation issue. Note the crack that starts at the crawl space vent and goes up to the bottom of the window. It seems small right now but this will turn into a much more noticeable problem if it's not taken care of. Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair resolved this common issue in a matter of moments,
