Cracking and Sinking
The addition was sinking away from the home. This needed to be stabilized and put back into it's original position before it got worse.
Cracking
Vertical and horizontal cracking is a sign of settlement.
Install Begins
The foundation crew begins to use hydraulic equipment to drill the pier section into the ground.
Install Continues
Additional steel sections are added to extend the pier to the appropriate depths. The steel foundation bracket is installed to the helical piers and then attached to the foundations footing.
Stabilized!
The weight of the addition is transferred through the helical piers onto load-bearing soil. This prevents future settlement and sinking!
