Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settlement, Merrimac, MA

The homeowner cut out two feet of the porch floor, allowing for access to the foundation.

Where the porch met the main house, the foundation and footings were facing settlement concerns. The soil was gradually sinking lower and effecting the stability of the house.

Due to the tough access, the crew had to install the piers by hand, since excavation was not possible.

The system was designed with rebar and steel. Once concrete is poured over the piers and steel to create a continuous footing, the entire system will be tied together and very stable.

The new footing is in place and the system is complete.
