Foundation Repair Photo Album: Homeowner has Sinking Foundation Repaired in Elnora, AB
These homeowners in Elnora, Alberta began to experience foundation settlement in different corners of the structure. Over the years, they witnessed cracking in different corners of the interior and exterior of the home. Looking for answers and a permanent solution, they contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems.
A System Design Specialist was able to assess this situation and provide the homeowners with a FREE, no obligation quote. After a further consultation with the foundation repair experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems, it was determined that the Supportworks™ Model 288 Push Pier System would be the optimal solution to not only permanently stabilize this foundation, but also give the best opportunity to lift the structure back to a level position. The Push Piers are made of steel and are driven deep into the soil beneath a foundation to load-bearing strata. Once locked into place, the weight of the home was then transferred from the original, unstable soils, through the piers, to the competent soil or bedrock below utilizing twelve (12) Supportworks Push Piers.
These homeowners can now rest easy knowing that their home won't be shifting any further in the future.
