Home Foundation Repair Photo Album: Tornado Foundation Damage in Dublin, GA

Due to damages caused by a tornado, this home's foundation had shifted, causing settlement in areas around the home. There were cracks that had appeared not long after the tornado had passed. Upon inspection, one of our system design specialists discovered multiple joists had snapped or cracked. The concrete block piers located near the broken joists were badly constructed, crooked, and had also settled over time. We sent a team out to install new joists and SmartJacks to lift and support the home.

Split Joist

This is another example of a joist that had cracked.

Cracked Joist

This is one of the joists that had cracked.

Crooked Pier

This concrete block pier is an example of bad construction. If you look closely, you can see that the blocks themselves are not square. The left side of the block is longer than the right.
