Cherokee, NC Home Gets Foundation Settlement Corrected with Push Piers

An issue that we commonly encounter are cracks throughout a foundation. Usually these are smaller cracks, but every once and awhile we get a home that has some pretty serious foundation issues, like this home. As you can see in the before picture, the entire corner of this home was sinking, and pretty significantly. The widest crack is close to an inch wide, which may not seem like much, but for the foundation that supports your home, this is a big deal.

In order to fix this issue, our Systems Design Specialist suggested the homeowner go with a couple of push piers to help bring this corner back towards its original position. The homeowner agreed to get the push piers installed, because he knew how serious this issue could be if left unchecked. Since the settlement was only occurring in this back part of the home, this project only needed two push piers.

The second picture shows the same corner, but after the push piers were installed, and the job was completely finished. As you can see, the crack has been pushed back together and looks completely normal. The great thing about push piers are that, when installed, they are completely covered. This is the perfect example of how we like to work, we want our work to give you all of the benefits of a great system, without having to see it!
