Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settlement in Alexandria, VA

Ms. Williams noticed stair step cracks forming in her foundation wall. After receiving a quote from another contractor that was outrageous, she decided to get another opinion and called us. She knew our reputation for professionalism and honesty, and felt she could rely on our experts to give her the facts and create a solution. Sonny, one of our System Designers, advised that we install a push pier system to correct her settling foundation walls. Although it can be invasive, with some minor excavation on the outside of her home, it is the best long term solution for her failing foundation. Ms. Williams loved her home in Alexandria, and wanted it to be a safe and stable place for her family, so she went ahead with the solution that Sonny presented her. Later, our Forman, Toby, went out with his team to install the push pier system. This involves piers being pushed down into the earth until it hits bedrock, and then attaching the piers to the foundation of the home with brackets. This system can correct the sinking foundation and prevent it from further settlement.
