Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Large vertical cracks are typically due to soil settlement. Settling soil creates additional pressure on a foundation wall and can lead to cracking. Vertical cracks often admit significant amounts of water and must be repaired.

Foundation Push Piers permanently stabilize the foundation by transferring the weight to the structure to adequate soil at a greater depth. 

This Chambersburg, PA customer had concerns about their sagging floors. To permanently stabilize the floors above, Liberty Basement Systems replaced the current main beam in their garage as it was bowing, rotting, and weakened. A lvl main beam replacement was installed, along with (2) SmartJacks to lift and stabilize the floors above towards their original elevation and reduce floor bounce. The SmartJack System has a quick installation time and can be installed any time of year with minimal disruption. 

There are a few common symptoms of settlement that homeowners should be aware of. These usually include cracked walls, sloping floors, sticking doors and windows, and separations between walls and ceilings. If any of these symptoms are present, it’s likely that the foundation is settling and needs to be addressed. We installed foundation Push Piers for this foundation repair. This pier system will not only stop settlement, but also lift the foundation back to its original position, closing cracks and improving window and door operation.
