Home Foundation Repair Photo Album: Settled Foundation in Lyons, GA Stabilized with a Push Pier System from Lowcountry Foundation Repair
Teresa N. of Lyons, GA was in the process of purchasing her house when the home inspection revealed the main girder supporting the home was sagging, as well as long sections of floor joists. As a result, the floor sagged and sloped. Teresa researched online and came across the foundation experts at Lowcountry Foundation Repair. An inspector went to the home and examined the situation. He recommended first stabilizing the perimeter with a Push Pier System. The galvanized steel push piers were hydraulically driven into the ground, down to the load-bearing strata where the weight of the leaning foundation could then be transferred from its unstable footing. Next galvanized steel SmartJacks were installed underneath the home in the crawl space to stabilize specific areas of the main beam and other joists. Teresa could now be assured her house was stable and would not sag anymore.
