Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Stabilization in East Amherst, NY
After several cracks were discovered in this home's foundation walls in East Amherst, NY, due to how the house has settled over time, they knew they needed to find a solution before the problem became worse. Frank's Basement Systems was able to come out and help stabilize the home's foundation by installing several helical piers along the outside walls of the foundation where the cracks were forming. After installation, the weight of the house will shift to the newly installed helical piers, helping to stabilize this home permanently. Another safe home and happy homeowner in East Amherst, NY, thanks to Frank's Basement Systems!
Cracking in the Homes Foundation Walls
Our design specialist discovered an area with large cracks in the foundation walls. These cracks were formed over time due to the house shifting and settling.
Helical Pier Installation
To help support the house because it has shifted, helical piers were installed against the house's foundation. These piers are screwed into the ground until they are deep enough to fully support the house.
Attaching the Helical Piers to the Foundation
After the helical piers are in, each is topped with a special bracket. This bracket is designed to be attached to the house's foundation, so the weight of the home will then be transferred to the helical piers.
