The foundation wall after our team completed their work.
Thanks to our helical piers, the home now rests on stable ground. The visible crack has significantly reduced in size, and there have been no further signs of settling.
Recently installed helical piers.
We installed a total of four helical piers around this corner of the house.
A stair-step crack is a common indication of foundation settlement.
This type of damage, such as stair-step cracks, is indeed common in brick and concrete block walls, especially when there are issues with foundation settling or soil erosion. It's important to address these problems promptly to ensure the structural integrity of the building.
Another view from inside the home's foundation.
The cracks are clearly visible from both the inside and outside of the house. The fracture line often follows the junction lines of each brick.
