Foundation Repair Photo Album: Sinking House Meets its Match in Saint Ignace, MI
Lawrence and Susan were starting to get concerned about a crack forming in the ceiling of their home. Sometimes after homes are built they can experience foundation settling if the soil under them expands and contracts substantially with weather conditions. This can cause a plethora of foundation problems including cracking and bowing walls, foundation shrinkage or expansion, and water in the basement. The crack formed right in the center of their home and they started to feel like their house was sinking on either side. To bring their home back to ground level, our team installed Helical Piers which stabilized and stopped the cracking. Now They can live in their home for years to come stress-free.
Right Down The Middle
This crack started to form in the middle of the main floor ceiling. The house foundation started to feel divided down the middle.
Settling Foundation Causes More Cracking
More cracking occurred and will occur with a settling foundation.
Load Bearing Soil Makes a Difference
Helical Piers stabilize settling foundations by connecting the foundation of a home to load-bearing soil by drilling long piers into the ground under a home.
Piers are Permanent
The permanent solution is less invasive than it sounds and looks, and it lasts a lifetime and more.
Installation Won't Disrupt Home
After the installation of the piers, the concrete is replaced. Once dried, you won't be able to see where the installation was.
