Photo Album: Foundation Cracks Repaired, Home Stabilized in Macon, GA

Randy B. of Macon, GA called Lowcountry Basement systems with a problem. His foundation had cracked and was uneven. Some of the drywall in the house had cracked, and the doors stuck when opening and closing.One night Randy saw an ad on Macon’s CBS-13 for free foundation inspections from Lowcountry Basement Systems. He saw photos of damaged walls like his own and cracked drywall. He called the next morning for an inspection. The Lowcountry Basement Systems inspector visited Randy’s home and documented squeaking and uneven floors, drops up to one inch in some parts of the home and sinking piers in the crawl space. He recommended a custom solution for Randy to fix all his problems at the same time. First galvanized steel push piers are hydraulically driven into the ground, down to the load bearing strata where the weight of the leaning foundation could be transferred from its unstable footing. Next, SmartJacks and supplemental zinc-plated steel PowerBrace beams were installed for additional subfloor support. In just a few days all the issues Randy experienced were gone, and his house was protected from the foundation up.
