Home Foundation Repair Photo Album: Sinking Foundation Stabilized in Richmond Hill, GA
Nicholas and Crystal M. of Richmond Hill, GA noticed cracks in their concrete porch, and shifting drywall inside their home. Alarmed at the way the drywall pulled away from their vaulted ceiling, they worried about the stability of their home and researched online for a solution. Nicholas and Crystal found LowcountryBasementSystems.com and looked through photos and blogs on the site. They realized they had some of the exact same problems as other homeowners in their area, so they called for a free inspection. The inspector noted the foundation cracks and dropped areas, and recommended a custom solution of galvanized steel push piers to stabilize the sinking slab and protect it from further movement. PolyLevel, a two-part, expanding polymer foam would then be injected under the concrete to fill the voids and complete the fix.
