Foundation Repair Photo Album: Helical Piers reinforced a foundation in Hixson, TN
A large building in Hixson, TN showed cracks in its exterior walls and window frames, signaling foundation settling. Our inspector traced the problem to soil expansion and contraction due to seasonal changes, which put pressure on the foundation. To resolve this, we installed several helical piers beneath the cement footing, anchoring the foundation to stable ground. These precisely installed piers, secured with steel brackets, ensure long-term stabilization and enduring stability.
