Helical Pier Installation to Permanently Stabilize a Settling Fireplace - Banner Elk, NC
This beautiful mountain home in Banner Elk, NC was experiencing settlement beneath its large stone fireplace and chimney a common issue when heavy structures sit on weak or poorly compacted soil. Our team uncovered the failing areas and installed durable helical piers beneath the foundation to permanently stabilize and support the weight of the chimney.
These photos show the excavation around the base, the installation of the pier brackets, and the home’s exterior where the chimney was beginning to shift. With the new helical piers in place, the fireplace is now fully supported, protected from future settlement, and secured for the long term.

Impact of Hydrostatic Pressure on Foundation Wall in Vilas, NC
Outside soil pressure can cause foundation walls to crack and bow inward. Our PowerBrace foundation wall repair system stabilizes these walls by installing steel I-beams that counteract the pressure, preventing further movement and potentially straightening the wall over time. The PowerBrace foundation wall repair system is designed to provide long-lasting support, often lasting for the lifetime of the structure when properly installed and maintained.
Foundation Stabilization with Push Piers in Boone, NC
This Boone, NC home was facing serious foundation settlement issues. The signs were clear sinking soils, cracks along the structure, and visible shifts in the foundation walls. These symptoms are common in mountain regions where unstable, moisture-heavy soils can no longer support a home’s weight.
To provide a permanent fix, our team installed a series of push piers. These steel piers are driven deep into stable bedrock, transferring the home’s weight away from failing soils and onto a solid foundation layer. Once secured, the piers not only stop further settlement but can also help lift the foundation back toward its original position.
This foundation repair system is the best solution for long-term stability in Boone’s challenging soil conditions, protecting the home from future structural damage and giving the homeowner peace of mind
