Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Stabilization in Wilkes-Barre, PA

After searching the internet for a foundation repair expert, this Wilkes-Barre, PA homeowner found our website and decided to give us a call. With several successful projects in the Wilkes-Barre area, we were confident that foundation repair expert Tyler H. could provide the homeowner with a reliable and cost-effective solution.   While Tyler was assessing the homeowners' foundation, he found cracks throughout the interior walls and exterior foundation walls. You might think it's nothing, but cracks in walls, bowing walls, jammed doors and windows, and uneven floors are all signs of shifting soils or a settlement problem. These issues indicate a deeper problem that could potentially lead to major structural damage if not addressed. In this case, the shifting soils caused by water seeping into the ground had caused the foundation of their home to shift and settle. This resulted in the problems they were seeing in the walls and floors. By addressing the root cause of the issue, Tyler was able to provide a permanent solution that would protect this home from further damage.   A thorough inspection led Tyler to recommend our foundation repair crew at Liberty Basement Systems fix this problem using foundation push piers. Push piers are designed to stabilize and support the foundation of a home by transferring the weight of the home onto the piers. Steel tubes are driven deep into the soil to reach a more stable layer of soil. After they are locked into place, the weight of the home is then distributed through the piers. This will provide a long-term solution to the problem and protect the home from any future damage. After our crew was able to successfully install the piers, the homeowner was relieved to know that their home was now secure from any further foundational damage.
