Foundation Settlement Repair in Forest, Virginia
Challenge
Viki in Forest, Virginia had started noticing signs of foundation settlement around her home, including cracking and uneven areas that suggested parts of the structure were beginning to shift.
Concerned the problem could continue to worsen over time, she contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions to have the foundation inspected before more serious damage occurred.
After evaluating the home, we found that sections of the foundation were settling due to unstable soil conditions beneath the structure.
Solution
To stabilize the affected area and help prevent additional movement, Warren and his crew installed 3 Helical Piers along the settling section of the foundation.
These piers are driven into stable soil beneath the home, allowing the weight of the structure to be transferred onto stronger ground below for long-term support and stability.
