Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In the flooring of this Methodist Church, there was a 5 inch gap between the door way. DryZone came out and was able to fix the gap by placing concrete in between the gap to fill it. It turns out the church had no other foundation problems, other than the one 5 inch gap in the basement. They had also requested to have a sump pump installed in case of a flood, or any water getting in.

This is what is known as a lolly column. They are often found in basements when someone is trying to strengthen the sagging floors. As you can see, they rust and bend. Sometimes they even rust so bad that they fall apart.

This is a home that had the outer wall extended to included the porch. The added weight made the so-called supports sink into the ground.

A homeowner in Camden called because they had purchased an old home and the floors were sagging towards the middle of the house. DryZone was able to come in and help by installing the SmartJack Stabilizer. The before picture is what was holding up the home before DryZone was called, and the after picture is the SmartJack we installed for the home. 

A concrete slab is very thick and heavy. When the ground beneath it gets washed away or settles, there are large voids left behind. Most slabs are poured directly on the dirt, so nothing else is supporting them. When the dirt is gone, the slab cracks. A slab pier system is designed to support the slab on heavy soils found far below the surface. When the DryZone crew starts to try and lift, many of the cracks will close up a little.
