Fixing a Foundation in Trappe, MD
A homeowner in Trappe, MD was facing a serious issue: one of the brick walls on their home had begun pulling away from the foundation. Concerned that this problem could not only compromise the wall but also damage the attached chimney—and potentially the entire home—they reached out to the experts at DryZone for help. Our System Design Specialist, Derek, conducted a free inspection and discovered the root cause: the home’s foundation was sinking.
To address the issue, DryZone implemented a major foundation repair using our helical pier system. This system is designed to permanently stabilize a sinking foundation and, in many cases, can even lift it back to its original position. Steel piers are mechanically advanced into the soil until they reach load-bearing strata. Once the correct depth and capacity are achieved, a steel foundation bracket is attached to both the piers and the home's footing to ensure long-term support.
With the repair complete, the homeowner can now enjoy lasting peace of mind knowing their foundation is secure. DryZone is proud to have played a role in restoring the stability and safety of their home.
