Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Repair in Chichester, NH

In Burlington, MA, the homeowner faced a serious issue with settling foundation walls, evident from pronounced cracks and bowing. As you can see, our team at Erickson Foundation Solutions expertly addressed this with our reliable Push Pier System to stabilize the home and the PowerBrace for permanent wall support. By applying crack sealant, we ensured a comprehensive repair. These solutions reassured the homeowners about their property’s stability and restored comfort to their living environment.

Foundation Failure

The foundation wall exhibited cracking and bowing, clear indicators of structural failure. If left unaddressed, these issues could escalate, leading to significantly more damage and substantially higher repair costs.

Soil Excavation

Areas designated for Push Pier installation were excavated to access the home's footing. This excavation revealed a high water table surrounding the property. Our crew utilized temporary sump pumps to maintain a clean and dry site, ensuring the installation process proceeded seamlessly.

Push Piers

Brackets were affixed to the home's footing, and Push Piers were driven into the ground until they reached load-bearing soil. Once all piers achieved contact with load-bearing soil, they were simultaneously pressurized to elevate the home. This procedure stabilized the structure by transferring the weight from voids in the surface-level soil to the bedrock.

Foundation Wall Crack Sealant

Crack sealant was applied to foundation fractures to enhance structural support. Additionally, observe in the photo how the Push Piers installed within the interior of the home were subsequently encased in concrete.

PowerBrace

To remediate bowing walls, we implemented our PowerBrace system. PowerBraces were installed by anchoring them to the joists and securing them into the foundation floor. This system stabilizes the foundation wall and possesses the capability to gradually straighten it over time.

Backfill

Following a successful Push Pier installation, the excavated area is meticulously backfilled. Our crew takes great pride in ensuring the worksite is left in an orderly and pristine condition.
