Foundation Repair Photo Album: Stabilizing a Failing Foundation in Granite City, IL
A foundation was shifting and becoming unstable in Granite City, IL, causing cracks to form on the outside of the house near the garage. To solve this issue, the Push Pier System was installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation, and in many cases, lift it back toward its original position. These can also close cracks and improve the operation of windows and doors. This is the least risky solution when the soil conditions are unknown. There is minimal disturbance from installation; installing them is a quick process and will solve the problem once and for all!
Separation
Due to this foundation settling, the garage door frame is separating from the external wall of the house.
Spreading Cracks
The foundation issues are so severe that the external cracks are spreading.
Foundation Pier
This Push Pier, along with others around the house, will lift the foundation back up and close the cracks.
Out of Mind
The piers have been buried and will continue to keep the foundation stable while staying out of sight and out of mind.
