Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This cracked foundation is clearly shown even outside of the home, as well as the inside. DryZone came out to repair the damages. The building was on settling soil and was breaking the building apart. Once we were there, we addressed the situation by putting fresh virgin soil around the home, then propped them up with anchors.

A home in Arden, DE had some problems with the foundation. DryZone had came out to fix what was wrong, the homeowners were very pleased with the work we had done.

The wood under this home was so bad that it was amazing someone hadn't fallen through the floor. Almost every single floor joist and girder was rotted or eaten by termites, completely gone in some cases. DryZone was hired to remove the old wood and replace it with fresh pieces. This process took almost two full weeks, as you can imagine it is not an easy task. The end result was a sturdy support system of new and dry wood. The homeowner expressed and interest in CleanSpace encapsulation as well, to prevent history from repeating.

When the wooden beams under the home get so wet that they become soft, the weight of the house will crush them around the existing piers. Drying out the crawlspace is a great way to prevent this. Installing adjustable SmartJacks instead of new concrete piers is a great way to fix it. SmartJacks resist corrosion and are fully adjustable. This allows the homeowner to achieve a slow and steady lift if the want.

Before and afters are sometimes hard to show when it comes to foundation repair. Push piers are always covered up with fresh concrete. The wall cracks are never going to disappear completely, but getting a big crack to close up like in these pictures makes for a great visual. The push piers that DryZone installed were able to lift the entire wall and close the gap almost to the original position. The wall is now supported and warrantied for many years to come.
