Simple solutions for a big foundation problem

When a home settles and the floors start to sag it can be caused by several different things. One of those reasons is wet wooden support beams. The wood gets a little squishy when it is too wet and that can cause them to smash around the concrete columns in a crawlspace. Most of the time the damage is minor and easily corrected. Many people will try and wedge wooden shims up under the beams. But if the problem is wet wood, why would adding more wood solve the problem? DryZone uses metal shims for minor adjustments. The best way to ensure that this problem is permanently fixed is to dry out the crawlspace and keep it dry. Metal shims will help to correct the small damage before the wood cracks and rots.

Cracked and Bowing walls

Cracking and bowing of the walls is a very dangerous situation to be in. At any minute, if not taken care of quickly can result in to a very serious situation which could include having to buy another home.

Avenue Methodist Church

In the flooring of this Methodist Church, there was a 5 inch gap between the door way. DryZone came out and was able to fix the gap by placing concrete in between the gap to fill it. It turns out the church had no other foundation problems, other than the one 5 inch gap in the basement. They had also requested to have a sump pump installed in case of a flood, or any water getting in.

Poor foundation support gets properly fixed

This is a home that had the outer wall extended to included the porch. The added weight made the so-called supports sink into the ground.

Settling floor corrected with slab piers

When a home doesn't have a crawlspace or basement, how does DryZone fix a broken foundation? The answer is with slab piers. If the home is built directly on a concrete slab that sits directly on the ground, its the best option. The slab sinks and pulls on the walls. The easiest way to notice a problem is by looking at the baseboard or show molding at the base of the wall. In the "before" picture, you can see that the baseboard has a gap under it. That is a sign that the floor is settling. Slab piers are installed every few feet in a home and have a great chance of raising the floor back to level.
