Foundation Repair Photo Album: Sinking Foundation Saved With Helical Piers in Canton, MI
Project Manager: Elon Williams
Foreman: Ryan Loop
This concerned homeowner in Canton, Michigan contacted HomeSpec with a list of issues she was experiencing with her attached garage. The garage was separating from the home, severely cracked throughout the mortar, cracked throughout the concrete floor, and the side door wouldn't close properly. These are all signs that the garage foundation was sinking into the soil due to the poor condition of the soil.
The solution to this issue was to install Helical Piers below the garage. These anchor deep into stronger soils to stabilize the foundation and prevent further sinking. They were also able to lift the garage back to its original level.
The garage floor and cracks in the mortar were also repaired by filling and sealing them. The homeowner was very happy with the results now that her garage isn't sinking and pulling away from the home!
