Cracks in Fair Play, SC Home Corrected with Installation of Push Piers

Foundation settlement is something that we see pretty regularly in our line of work. It usually is not a very pretty sight, but more often than not it is something that we are able to take care of! Foundation settlement occurs when the earth under and around the home begins to sink and settle in. As the earth settles, the foundation begins to sink with it as well which causes the wall to crack, which can be very dangerous, especially if not taken care of.

Unfortunately, this was the case for this homeowner in Fair Play, South Carolina. There were two main cracks that were noticeable along this wall, and believe it or not, this was actually the better of the two. The before photo does a pretty good job at showing the extensiveness of the damage caused by the settlement. This stair-step crack starts at the top of this cinder block wall and goes the majority of the way down.

The photo that was taken after the work was completed is pretty incredible, and shows just how effective our products are. The crack has been completely closed up by the push piers, and after the lifting was done, the crew went back over the crack with mortar in order to completely seal up the crack and make it seem as though no work was ever done! The homeowner was extremely pleased with how this turned out and couldn't believe the results.
