Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The wood posts in this home were failing, causing the floor to sag. We removed them and installed our SmartJack adjustable steel posts in their place. Problem Solved. 

The "Before" photo shows the condition in which the home was when Mrs. L bought her home. The previous owner dealt with his floor support issues by shimming the wooden posts; this was only putting a band-aid on an issue that would keep getting worse. 

The "After" photo shows our solution to sinking floors and failing wood posts, The SmartJack Adjustable Steel Post. Soil constantly shifts beneath our feet. In the case of this home, it had caused the concrete footings that helped support the floor to sink. Wood posts can't be adjusted and shims are not a long-term solution. The SmartJack Adjustable Steel Post can be adjusted to meet your needs. 

This customer, located in Santa Clara, came to us with concerns regarding settling issues with his foundation. 

Our Structural Consultant, Steve Mack, came to evaluate their situation. The home had settling and cracking issues in the

foundation and interior walls with downhill settlement over -7 inches in some areas and some lateral movement in the structure. Solving these issues would include stabilizing and lifting the foundation walls by installing our push pier system vertically into the Earth until it reached bedrock and to add additional steel where needed to support cracks in the foundation.

Before and After photos of a Push Pier Installation project in Santa Clara. This home was cracking due to differential settlement (portions of the foundation were settling while other portions stayed still). Our Push Pier System will help stabilize this home from future settlement.
