We using our Foundation Helical Pier System to stabilize this customers settled foundation. Helical piers stabilize foundations by being screwed into the ground until they reach a stable soil layer. Brackets are then attached to the piers and the foundation, transferring the load from the unstable soil to the stable layer, effectively lifting and stabilizing the foundation.
Wall gaps and cracks form due to foundation settlement, which occurs when the soil beneath a home expands, contracts, or shifts, causing the foundation to move. This movement can lead to structural damage, including gaps and cracks in walls. Our SmartJack system helps by stabilizing and leveling the foundation, preventing further settlement and reducing the risk of additional damage.
Foundation piers were installed to repair our customer's settling foundation to stabilize and potentially lift the foundation back to its original position. These piers are driven deep into the ground until they reach stable soil layers, providing a solid support system to counteract soil movement and prevent further settling.
This Jacksonville property was showing signs of foundation settlement, including visible wall cracks and structural shifting. These symptoms are often caused by unstable or eroding soil beneath the building’s foundation.
To permanently stabilize the structure, our crew installed helical piers along the affected wall. These deep foundation supports are drilled into stable soil layers, transferring the building’s weight onto more reliable ground. This solution not only halts further settlement but also restores long-term stability and protects the integrity of the commercial space.
This Jacksonville, FL property was experiencing significant structural settlement, visible through sinking exterior walls, compromised brick supports, and uneven load distribution along the foundation. These symptoms often indicate failing or inadequate support beneath the structure, which can lead to worsening movement, interior damage, and long-term safety concerns if not addressed.
To stabilize the home, our team installed SmartJack steel support posts, designed to reinforce and re-support the structure from below. These adjustable, high-strength posts transfer the weight of the building to stable soil, stopping further settlement and restoring proper structural support. This solution provides a durable, long-term fix to protect the home’s foundation and overall integrity.
