This Property Management Company contacted Americrawl after noticing signs of foundation settlement around their property, including stair stepping cracks in there foundation walls. After a comprehensive inspection by our experienced foundation specialists, it was determined that the home was experiencing structural movement due to unstable soil conditions beneath the foundation.

To address the issue and permanently stabilize the structure, Americrawl recommended and installed a helical pier system—a proven method for lifting and securing foundations that have shifted or settled over time.

The process began with carefully excavating around the affected foundation areas to expose the footing. High-strength helical piers were then hydraulically driven deep into load-bearing soil layers, ensuring long-term support. Once the piers reached the proper depth and torque specifications, heavy-duty foundation brackets were attached to the home’s footing, transferring the structural load from the unstable surface soils to the more stable strata below.

Throughout the process, the Americrawl crew maintained a clean, organized job site and kept the homeowner informed during each step. In many cases, including this one, our team was able to lift the foundation back toward its original position, closing gaps and improving the overall levelness of the structure.

By installing helical piers, this customer now has a permanently stabilized foundation with a transferable warranty, adding long-term value and peace of mind to their investment. The homeowner was extremely satisfied with the professionalism, quality of work, and the fact that the solution was both non-invasive and long-lasting.
