As you can see in the "Before" photo, the home was experiencing Foundation Settlement, thus the very large crack. Foundation Settlement happens when the soil beneath the home moves, and in the case of this home, the soil beneath it was taking a large portion of the foundation along for the ride (Imagine how a bone in the human body breaks and that is what is happening to any home that experiences Settlement).
88 linear feet of the existing foundation were removed and replaced. Look at the beautiful job our crew did. You never would have known that the foundation was on the brink of falling apart.
This customer, located in Los Gatos, noticed his floors were bowing and bouncing when he walked across them. Our Structural Consultant, Steve Mack, found the issues right away during his initial inspection. The soil beneath the home had shifted in such a way that caused some of the wooden support posts to tilt, which was the direct cause these floor issues.
By installing our SmartJack Adjustable Steel Post System, we were able to lift and stabilize this floor.
Also keep in mind that an uneven floor can also result from improper spacing of existing pier columns or weakened floor systems due to mold and wood rot. We can help you with those problems as well.
This concrete column that was an integral part of holding the house together on this hillside in Los Gatos was starting to show signs of cracking. Our solution was to seal the cracks with epoxy and then wrap the column in our Carbon Armor Patch. The Carbon Armor Patch was attached to the column with a layer of epoxy that was applied to the entire side of the column.
After experiencing flooding in his crawl space, this homeowner decided to install a Sump Pump and a Vapor/Moisture Barrier (pictured here). The Vapor/Moisture Barrier will protect the crawl space like a raincoat and it will allow the rain water to travel into the sump pump where it will be discharged through a vent and into an existing downspout where it belongs.
