Randy B. of Macon, GA was worried about his home. There were cracks in the foundation wall, the drywall was tearing and his floors were uneven. Randy thought his home might be settling and called Lowcountry Foundation Repair to schedule a free inspection. The inspector recommended installing a SmartJack system.
To stabilize and lift the sinking floors five SmartJacks and four PowerBrace beams were installed in the crawl space. SmartJacks are galvanized steel crawl space support columns that are capable of support 60,000 pounds each. The project took one for the Lowcountry Foundation Repair team to complete, and the results were immediately noticed by Randy when he walked in his home. He was thrilled with the results!
Linda B. of Macon, GA had a settlement problem. Stair stepping cracks were noticeable in two places in her brick wall. She tried to fix the cracks with mortar but the mortar didn’t last and the cracks grew. Linda called Lowcountry Foundation Repair to finally fix the problem.
Lowcountry Foundation Repair installed a Push Pier System, consisting of three push piers. The piers were installed beneath the footer of the home, where the weight of the foundation could be transferred to stop the house from settling. The piers were hydraulically lifted, lifting the foundation wall, closing the gap between the cracks permanently.
