Sticking Doors
The first symptom this homeowner noticed was that her front door would not shut properly. Sticking doors and windows is a common sign of foundation settlement!
Drywall Cracks
She also noticed cracks in her living room drywall. Cracks in drywall are a good indicator of settlement, and may be more obvious in the uppermost levels of your home.
Savannah Push Pier Installation
Our inspector suggested that she install Push Piers to raise her home back to its original position. Steel pier sections are hydraulically driven through the bracket to bedrock or a stable soil level. Then, the weight of your home is transferred through the piers to the competent soil below, and a lift can be attempted to bring the home back to its original position.
A Job Well Done!
Push Piers give the best opportunity to lift the home back towards its original position so that the problem is solved once and for all!
