Foundation Repair Photo Album: Closing Cracks with PushPiers
Homeowner Roger R. of Gillespie, Illinois was concerned with the foundation of his home. Over the past few years, Roger and his family discovered cracks on the walls of his basement indicating problems with his foundation. After calling a company and repairing the cracks, he began to find more cracks on the walls inside his home. These cracks were small hairline cracks that were forming near doors and windows as well as corner areas in his home. Thinking he had fixed his foundation problem the first time, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems to see if they had a solution to stop the spread of more cracks.
We sent our foreman Jesse C. and his team out to the Gillespie home to install a solution that would fix Roger’s foundation problems once and for all. Our team installed our patented PushPiers. PushPiers made of steel permanently stabilize your home’s foundation. In many cases, this solution can also lift your home back toward level, closing cracks and improving operation of doors and windows. After installation, Roger is very happy in knowing all of the problems he has had over the years have finally been solved.
