Stabilizing a Sinking Foundation in Jessup
Challenge
A homeowner in Jessup, PA, contacted Liberty Basement Systems with significant concerns about their property's foundation. They observed unsettling signs of sinking and settling in their cement block foundation, resulting in visible cracks. Recognizing the potential for long-term structural issues, they sought professional assistance to secure their home's future.
Solution
The process began when the homeowner reached out to Liberty Basement Systems' Customer Care Specialist, who promptly scheduled a home inspection. An expert System Design Specialist from the sales team conducted a thorough on-site evaluation. This crucial step allowed for an accurate diagnosis of the problem, leading to the recommendation of Push Piers as the optimal solution.
Upon agreement, Liberty Basement Systems' dedicated production team, comprised of experienced foremen and skilled installers, arrived to execute the project. They implemented the Push Pier System, a well-established foundation repair solution. This involved hydraulically driving engineered steel piers through robust foundation brackets. These piers were driven until they reached stable soils or bedrock, effectively stabilizing the home. This technology not only arrests further settling but also offers the potential to lift the home back towards its original elevation, thereby addressing the foundational cracks and restoring the integrity of windows and doors.
The intervention yielded a remarkable improvement. The home's stability was restored, providing the homeowner with much-needed peace of mind. By entrusting Liberty Basement Systems with their foundation repair, they secured a reliable and long-lasting solution to their foundational issues, ultimately enhancing their property value and quality of life.
