Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner discovered that previously installed support had begun to decay leading to their floors moving underneath them so they called the experts here at DryZone to come out. the first step we took to fix the issue we replaced the former supports and replaced them with SmartJacks which will be able to withstand the weight of the house ensuring that the foundation will remain stable for years to come. 

A home owner in Dewey Beach, Delaware contacted DryZone about a foundation problem that they were having. As you can see the foundation wall was cracking and from the outside you can see it was bowing forward. This was caused by the home sitting on nothing but sand. When the high tide came in around 2:25 that morning, it caused the sand to erode and push against the foundation. Once we were there we knew that we had to do something about it that day or the home owner would have lost his home. We installed the wall anchors  to bring the foundation back in the original condition before it ever started to cave in. The home owner was very pleased with the solution we provided to ensure his foundation wall didn't gave way.

When your floors start to sag the best way to fix them is to add more support. Many people try to jack their house up with simple bottle jacks. These are not strong enough to last a long time. If you look on the box, it will say its for temporary, light duty only. Most times they do more harm then good.
