Our team went to Sparta, TN, to tackle a home settlement issue. During the inspection, our home inspector discovered horizontal cracks in the basement wall. These cracks, along with problems like stuck doors and windows, are common signs of settlement due to shifting soils and moisture issues, which can affect both the stability and value of the home.
To address the problem, we installed Push Piers, which anchor into stable soil beneath the house to provide immediate support and often restore the home to its original level. Despite the tight working space (only 4-5 feet), our skilled crew managed the job by cutting a section of the cement footing. After installation, we backfilled the hole and cleaned up the area, leaving the site tidy and secure.
