Solution

James arrived at the home and began his thorough investigation of the interior and exterior foundation. During his investigation, James confirmed that the foundation was suffering from settlement due to improper soil fill. To prevent the issues from worsening, James recommended permanently stabilizing the exterior and interior foundation with several stabilizing products. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go with James' proposal. Once the plans were approved, James passed them along to our Logistics team for approval. Our Logistics team approved the proposal, and then it was sent to our Foreman, Aaron, and his crew to begin the project. Aaron and his crew traveled to the home and started the installation. First, the crew installed four Helical Piers outside the home. Helical Piers permanently stabilize your home's foundation and can lift your home back to its proper level. Next, the crew shifted their focus to installing nine PowerBraces on the interior. PowerBraces will stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. Once all the products were installed, Aaron and his crew cleaned up the materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew.
