Home Foundation Repair Photo Album: Sagging Floors Fixed in Brunswick, GA
A real estate investor was concerned about the foundation of a home they were renovating. The floors were sagging because the piers in the crawlspace were sinking. The past homeowners had attempted a DIY fix by adding wood wedges and bricks on top of the piers, ignoring the sinking issue, and adding short term support. They were smart to call Lowcountry Foundation Repair for a real solution. We sent one of our inspectors out and provided a free inspection & custom solution for the issue, including our Smartjack System to level and support the floors. They were very pleased with the final results!
Crooked Piers
Many of the piers were crooked, caused by sinking more on one side than the other.
Wood Wedges
Wood wedges were added to this pier, worsening the issue. The wood is visibly at an angle.
Bricks
Notice how the wood appears to sag, with the lowest point being the pier in the center. This is a sign of the pier sinking.
