When the structural integrity of your porch is in danger, what does it look like? It might look like this. Sections of the window sill and the walls began separating or creating gaps for this home, creating alarm and worry for the homeowner and their family. They became concerned for the concrete foundation being ruined and the foundation failing. They called us, and our System Design Specialist recommended a great, minimally invasive fix—our FSI helical pier system by SupportWorks. This system addresses the root cause of foundation settlement and won't add weight to unstable soils or crack under pressure. We knew it was a great fit because its true helix bearing plates disturb less soil while reaching greater depths, allowing us to install these piers in front of the home with minimal disturbance to the homeowner's front lawn.

Wall separation due to poor foundation support
In this photo, the walls are separating from each other - you can tell because there's dried, torn paint and a gap in the wood where the walls used to be.
Visible gaps in the window sill and the home
When you can see gaps starting to form in the window sills and the walls, you know that it's a foundation issue.
Erosion below the porch
The unstable soil beneath the porch are causing the support for the entire home to slowly erode away.
New support for the porch, before concrete was replaced
These support posts are brand new, and were installed after the piers were put in place.
Helical piers installed, with concrete replaced.
The concrete that was removed to install the piers has been freshly replaced after installation.
