This home's foundation in Russellville, OH, was settling which caused cracks to form in the home's brick exterior. The biggest crack, (as seen in the before photo) started at the bottom left corner of the window and traveled downward in a stair step pattern toward the left. Stair step patterned cracks often appear in brick exteriors when the foundation starts to move. The mortar is usually the first thing to break because it is the weakest point in the wall. You’ll often see these cracks and gaps forming around windows and doors as well, since those openings create naturally weaker structural points that tend to show stress first when the foundation shifts. To stabilize the home, we installed our helical piers straight down underneath the foundation, and then we used our hydraulic device to lift the foundation back up to close the cracks. When we finished the project, we were able to guarantee to the homeowner that the home won't ever settle again where we installed our piers for the lifetime of the structure.

This homeowner in Russellville, OH, had growing concerns regarding the health of their home's foundation. The homeowner had been tracking a specific wall in their basement that was bowing inwards, and the homeowner was eventually able to confirm that the wall was actively shifting by using a four foot level across two different periods of time. The homeowner then gave us a call for a free foundation inspection. We told them that the wall was in some pretty serious need of repairing, and that whether we do the repair or someone else, it needs to be stabilized soon. We suggested that we straighten the wall back out by using our helical tie-back system, which would consist drilling helical rods horizontally through the troubled wall into the soil outside the home. From there, we can tension the system and begin pulling the wall back toward its original position by using the soil outside the home as the counteractive force, leaving the wall permanently stabilized. The homeowner told us that they wanted to use us for the project, and now we are waiting to hear back from them to get their foundation wall repaired.
