The bowing and creaking of the hardwood floors above was just a symptom of the issue. SmartJacks and steel beams were installed to fix the flooring issue.
In this Savannah, GA home, the doors were becoming uneven and there was tilting. The homeowner called Lowcountry Foundation Repair to see what could be done. One of our inspectors checked out the problem, recommending SmartJacks should be installed in the crawlspace under the home to support the floor and level it back to where the doors would not tilt. The result was successful support of the home.
Our foundation pier system permanently stabilized and secured this customer's home that was experiencing settlement issues. With the pier system in place, the customer was confident that their home was now safe and secure.
In Savannah, GA, a realtor reached out to our team with a crucial task: to repair a home's foundation to meet potential buyers' expectations. Understanding the significance of a solid foundation, our dedicated system design specialist conducted a complimentary inspection of the property. Through meticulous assessment, we identified the specific support requirements necessary to ensure long-term stability. We recommended the installation of concentric piers, providing a permanent and reliable solution to address foundation concerns. Additionally, we implemented SmartJacks to support specific areas of the floor, further enhancing the home's structural integrity. By delivering comprehensive and tailored foundation repairs, we instilled confidence in the new buyers, assuring them of a solid foundation for their future homes.
Despite its excellent construction, this home has suffered from foundation settlement. Foundation settlement occurs when the soil under the foundation is not stable, and the foundation sinks. This can cause the walls to crack, doors and windows to stick, and other structural issues.
