Mr. and Mrs. W recently bought their home with the knowledge that the garage had foundation issues.
Due to the decorative concrete that they had on the exterior of the garage, we changed the locations of our Push Piers to the interior where the concrete would be easier to replicate. Here you see the installation of a push pier to lift and stabilize the foundation and then the end of the installation when the hole is backfilled and new concrete is poured.
This customer, located in San Jose, came to us with concerns regarding uneven floors in his fixer-upper.
Wanting to remodel the home, he needed to make sure that the foundation and the floor were stable, and as close to level as possible, otherwise any remodeling he did would be ruined if the stability of the structure was in danger of worsening.
Our Structural Consultant and Real Estate Division Manager, Fred Gonzalez, came to evaluate their situation. This home had settling issues in the living room and kitchen. By installing our SmartJack Adjustable Steel Post system with cast-in-place concrete footings within the crawl space, we were able to level and stabilize the floor of this home. Now the homeowner can continue to remodel his fixer-upper so he can complete his goal of making a profit.
This customer, located in San Jose, CA had recently purchased a house and noticed his floors were bowing and bouncing when he walked across them. Our Structural Consultant, Steve Mack, discovered during an inspection that the existing steel jacks that were supporting the floor had rusted. The steel jacks in their weakened state allowed the floor to sink in a few areas. By installing our Smart Jack System, we were able to lift and stabilize the floor. Sagging beams and floor joist are often the result of improper spacing of existing pier columns or weakened floor systems due to mold and wood rot.
This home, located in Campbell, was having foundation problems. They found us after doing some research on the internet. They called us and scheduled an appointment for a free home inspection (quote included). Our Structural Consultant, Steve Mack, performed the inspection. He found that the home was settling, with cracks forming and progressing on the interior and exterior stucco walls. There was some evidence of lateral movement and the floors were unlevel by about 2 inches in some areas.
Our crew installed a multitude of Push Piers to help lift and stabilize this home, to help it from future settlement.
This customer, located in Campbell, came to us with concerns about cracks in his foundation. We were able to repair the cracks by first removing the rusted rebar from within that had caused the cracks, then installing a new Fiberglass Rebar stick to replace it. Secondly, we poured new concrete to seal the area, and then sealed the deal by using epoxy and a Carbon Armor Patch (10 times stronger than steel) to make sure that this part of the foundation would crack no longer.
