Foundation Repair Photo Album: Crack Repair in Torrance, CA

A homeowner in Torrance, California, was seeing serious cracks in the walls and ceiling of her home.  She was concerned with the damage and wanted to find the best possible way to fix the issue.  After careful research, the homeowner called upon Saber to come out and give a free property evaluation.  During the inspection of the home, the Saber project specialist found that indeed the home had suffered from severe settlement of the soils underneath the structure. This settlement is generally caused by the shrinking of the solid soils under the foundation. The method that will be used to fix this problem will be that of Push Piers. Push Piers, by Foundation Supportworks, Inc, are easily installed underneath the foundation footing and the effects of the piers are often immediate. Push Piers are driven into the ground beneath a home until they hit hard solid supporting soils. Brackets are attached to the foundation footing to drive the piers in at the right angle and to transfer the lifting from the pier to the home’s foundation. Once the job is complete the cracks in the ceiling and walls of this property will most likely have closed.   This Torrance homeowner was grateful to have the peace of mind that comes from knowing the job was done correctly and will stabilize the home for years to come.
