Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

There was a settlement issue in this customer's garage, causing the foundation to pull away from the house and create cracks on the exterior. We installed foundation helical piers for permanent stabilization. The helical piers were driven deep into the soil to solid rock, providing a stable base for the foundation. This ensured that the settlement issue was permanently resolved and the house was safe and secure.

This customer's porch floor started sagging due to excessive moisture. To provide adequate stabilization, the most effective way to restore the porch's structural integrity we installed SmartJack support posts. SmartJack posts are designed to lift and stabilize sagging floors and foundations, providing a permanent solution. Additionally, they are made from galvanized steel, which is corrosion resistant and provides a strong, long-lasting support structure.

It looks as if this customer had pre-existing foundation issues, and gotten them fixed, however they did not hold up and the customer was still dealing with the structural foundation of their home. They gave us a call here at Atlanta Basement Systems and we were able to send a sales representative out to look at the home, and see what we would be able to do to ensure that the foundation of the home was going to withstand. After the sales representative conducted an inspection they were able to determine that SmartJacks were going to be the answer to all of these problems. The SmartJacks are steel beams that are placed in the ground, down to the stable soil, and then surrounded with concrete for extra stability. All of the beams are then connected, and tightened in place, immediately leveling and securing the foundation. They help to transfer the weight of the foundation from the home onto the stable soil. This customer was left with the peace of mind of knowing that he was never going to have to deal with structural foundation issues again.

This homeowner called us here at Atlanta Basement Systems with concerns of foundation issues causing their garage lintel to sag. The foundation issues caused the brick of their home to spread, which caused the sag in the lintel. In the before photo, you can see the sag, and the cracks that had been caused by the foundation issues. Coley and his crew did a LintelLift, which is a curved steel beam, installed around the garage opening, which is then straightened out lifting the lintel of the garage. In turn, this fixes the sagging of the lintel, relieving the home of the foundation issues. The LintelLift will not repair the cracks, but those can be fixed, now that the concern is not with the integrity of the foundation of the home.

Foundation Push Piers are designed to be driven deep into the soil, where they will reach stable soils layers that are less susceptible to movement. The piers lift the foundation back to its original level, restoring the structural integrity and stabilization of the home. This hole is then backfilled with soil, leaving a clean, untouched appearance.
