The Owners of this 1948 Tucson bungalow home reached out to us after noticing signs of a potential foundation problem. These signs included:
Doors sticking / pinched
Floors that are out of level
Cracks I the interior drywall
Gaps between the baseboards & the floor
Cracks in the foundation outside
The Homeowners wanted to have the issue addressed and resolved to maintain the value of the home. There was also a concern about the cracking and popping noises the house was making.
Once a Forensic Foundation Inspection was completed, the data was reviewed, and our Engineering Team composed a repair plan.
The recommendation:
- Underpin the foundation where foundation settlement is present.
- Crack stitch the areas of broken concrete
- Monitor the foundation heave discovered as it does not yet require intervention
Installed Foundation Support Pier
Once installed, the piers will be backfilled.
Driving Piers
Driving the foundation support pier to the depth indicated by the repair plan. Sometimes, field adjustments are required.
