Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This home had severe damage due to rotting wood and heavy moisture. Some areas had large gaps where the wood was completely gone. DryZone went in and fixed the problem with a combination of CleanSpace vapor barrier, SmartJacks, and new wood. We were able to stabilize the floors and dry the space out.

This home in Milton was experiencing foundation issues. The homeowners wanted to list the home for sale and needed to make sure that the foundation issues were fixed before they listed the home. With a 25 year warranty that is transferable to the next homeowner, they added value to their home. 

The photos here show two different methods used in an attempt to stabilize the houses foundation. If you where having foundation problems which of these option would you prefer the wood blocks on a concrete pillar or the smart Jack? The wood is certainly not a long term solution as it can't handle the continued amount of stress nor can it be used to raise the floors to it's original location. Smart jack can do both of those thing with it's easily adjusted height and is ability to support up to 6,000 pounds.

This homeowner gave us a call because they had some concerns with the structural integrity of their home. They are looking to move into this home full time and want to ensure all structural issues are addressed. Pilot town engineering also came out to take a look per the request of the homeowner and provide their recommendations. 

While we were taking a look, we noticed the crawlspace was encapsulated by another company. We also noticed water stains on their product which we brought to the homeowners attention. While looking at the structure of the area, we noticed most of the piers were separated from the girder, pilot town recommended the installation of metal shims. Some of the piers look to be leaning, so we will need to correct those as well.

Ultimately, we installed our smartjacks support system, a supplemental beam/girder and floor joists to correct the structure issues. To address the water issues, we installed a smartsump system, ice guard to prevent floods from clogged or frozen discharge lines, lawnscape at the end of the discharge line and cleanspace with drainage matting to encapsulate the area. 

Homeowner had SmartJack system installed to assist with foundation problems as well as a CleanSpace Encapsulation to provide quality vapor barrier protection.
