Foundation Repair Photo Album: Mount Freedom Foundation Saved with Push Piers

When a family in Mount Freedom noticed horizontal cracks on the front outside wall of their home and in the basement, they knew their foundation was in trouble. They'd heard of Quality 1st Basement Systems from a friend and decided to call right away. Foundation Repair Specialist, Kenny Tramutola went to Mount Freedom to inspect the foundation. He explained to the homeowner that the cracks in the basement and on the outside wall of the home were signs of a sinking foundation. The problems with the foundation were also the reason some of the doors in the home were sticking. Kenny recommended Foundation Push Piers to repair the problem. Heavy duty steel brackets attach to the foundation, then steel push piers are "pushed", or driven, until they reach a stronger soil to stabliize and restore the integrity of the foundation. Foreman Victor Leon brought the Quality 1st Foundation crew to Mount Freedom and they got right to work installing the Push Piers to restore the foundation. The homeowner is very happy to finally have a safe and stable home.
