Foundation piers are designed to stabilize and support a settling foundation by transferring the structure's weight to stable soil layers below. They prevent further sinking or shifting, restoring the foundation's integrity and preventing additional damage.
A homeowner in Richmond Hill, GA was experiencing some startling settlement in their crawl space. They had a high spot in the floor and some sagging in others which is never normal. After an inspection from one of of our Design Specialist, it was determined that the main beam of the home had started to separate at a junction point. Our Expert Crew jumped right in with a new main beam and SmartJack System to put this homeowner at ease.
This home in Saint Marys, GA had an area of the floor that was unlevel in the home. The crawlspace was subjected to high moisture levels, weakening the wood foundation over time, and increasing the need for more support in areas between the existing piers. We were able to help this homeowner by first installing SmartJacks to support one area of concern. Although the homeowner didn't have the resources at the time to have a full encapsulation installed, we were still able to provide a customized partial solution to the homeowner including drainage matting, our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, and a waterproofing system to pump excess water away from the space. The homeowner plans to make the investment in getting a full encapsulation in the future, complete with the CleanSpace vapor barrier.
