Helical Piers Installed in Lee Center, IL
Challenge
This homeowner in Lee Center, IL, contacted us due to significant signs of foundation settlement in their residence. The most prominent issues observed were noticeably uneven floors throughout the home and the appearance of cracks in the interior walls. These symptoms are classic indicators of underlying foundation problems, often caused by soil settlement or instability beneath the structure.
Solution
Upon thorough assessment of the property, our team determines that the most effective and durable solution for this specific foundation issue was the installation of our Helical Pier System. Helical Piers are deep foundation solutions that are screwed into the ground until they reach stable, load-bearing soil. Once the desired depth and torque are achieved, brackets are attached to the home's foundation, and the structure is carefully lifted and stabilized. This process effectively transfers the weight of the home from the unstable soil to the stronger, deeper strate, preventing further settlement and addressing the existing unevenness.
The implementation of the Helical Pier System successfully addressed the homeowner's foundation concerns. The system provided the necessary lift and stabilization, effectively correcting the uneven floors and closing the existing cracks in the walls. The home's foundation was restored to a stable and level position, ensuring long-term structural integrity and safety of the property. The homeowner can now enjoy a secure and level living environment, free from the worries of ongoing foundation issues.
