Helical Piers stop Foundation Settlement in Lynchburg, Virginia
Challenge
Mrs. Williams in Lynchburg, Virginia had started noticing signs of foundation settlement around her home, including cracks and structural movement that seemed to worsen over time.
Wanting to address the issue before it led to more serious damage, she contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for a full inspection.
After evaluating the foundation, we found that sections of the home were settling due to unstable soil beneath the structure.
Solution
To permanently stabilize the home and prevent further movement, Tyler and his crew installed 8 Helical Piers around the affected areas of the foundation.
These piers were advanced deep into stable soil below the home, allowing the weight of the structure to be transferred onto stronger, more reliable support.
By the time the project was complete, the foundation was stabilized and protected against continued settlement. Mrs. Williams now has peace of mind knowing her home has long-term structural support in place.
