Before & After Photos

This Wilson, NC crawl space was showing major structural concerns. The support system relied on stacked concrete blocks, which had begun to shift and fail under the weight of the home. Symptoms included sagging floors, uneven support beams, and compromised stability all common issues when crawl space supports are improperly installed or deteriorating.

To resolve these problems, our team installed the SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. SmartJacks are engineered steel piers that can be adjusted to permanently stabilize and, in many cases, lift sagging floors back to their proper level. Unlike temporary block supports, SmartJacks are designed to resist settlement and provide long-term strength.

With SmartJacks now in place, this Wilson home has a solid and reliable foundation support system, ensuring safety, stability, and peace of mind for the homeowner.

This Elm City home was showing serious signs of foundation settlement most notably stair-step cracks across the brick wall and visible separation between the structure and the soil. Upon inspection, we found unstable soil conditions and pooling water around the footing, which had contributed to the shifting and settling over time.

To solve the issue, our crew installed helical piers, anchoring the foundation deep into stable, load-bearing soil. This method not only stopped further movement but provided an opportunity to lift and stabilize the affected section of the home.

Now, the area has been fully restored. The cracks are no longer worsening, the soil has been regraded and straw-covered, and the home’s structural integrity is secure. From visible distress to lasting peace of mind this transformation is exactly what foundation support should look like.

Helical piers stabilize a foundation by anchoring it to stable soil deep underground. They prevent further settlement or shifting caused by poor soil conditions, such as expansive clay or erosion.

Installing the PowerBrace system in parallel enhances structural stability by distributing loads evenly and providing consistent support across the structure. This configuration improves the building's resistance to lateral forces, ensuring greater overall strength and durability.

This home in Elizabeth City, NC was experiencing foundation settlement caused by weak, shifting soil along the exterior wall. To permanently stabilize the structure, our team installed helical piers, which are engineered steel supports designed to transfer the weight of the home down to stable, load-bearing soil.

The piers were carefully positioned and driven deep into the ground until proper resistance was achieved, providing immediate support and long-term stability. Once installed, the foundation load was transferred to the piers, helping prevent further settlement and protecting the structural integrity of the home.

Helical piers are a minimally invasive, permanent solution for foundation settlement ideal for homes showing signs of sinking, uneven floors, or cracking walls.
