Push Pier Installation in Bayard, West Virginia

Challenge

A family noticed that one side of their home was slowly sinking. Cracks began to spread across walls and ceilings, and the floors sloped noticeably in several rooms. The homeowners feared that the structural integrity of their house was at risk, and the repairs might be too overwhelming or costly to handle.

Solution

Fortress Foundation Solutions performed a thorough inspection and identified settlement issues in the foundation. To correct the problem, the team installed push piers beneath the sinking side of the home. These steel piers were driven deep into stable soil layers, then used to lift and permanently stabilize the foundation. The process was carefully monitored to ensure maximum structural recovery with minimal disruption.

Result
Once the work was complete, the home was level again, and many of the interior cracks closed significantly. Most importantly, the foundation was permanently stabilized, removing the risk of further sinking. The family felt relief knowing their investment was protected and their home was safe.
