Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settling Repair in Fremont, MI

This customer was experiencing multiple signs of foundation settlement throughout his home. Foundation settlement comes from the changing of the soil under your home. The three common changes are drying and shrinking, wetting and softening or poorly compacted fill soil. Customers often consider total foundation replacement but it can be extremely disruptive to your daily life and will not likely fix the issue. The issue is with the soil under the house, and not the foundation. Our team of experts decided using helical piers would solve the customer's foundation issues and SmartJack to add additional support for the floors in their home. Helical piers are used to reach a stable soil layer that will be able to support your home, in hopes of lifting your home to its original position.
