Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Polly D. from Carmichael noticed a six-foot crack along the edge of the foundation of her home. She immediately looked up how to fix it and found NorCal Foundation Support.

After setting an appointment, Ray with NorCal Foundation Support came to check out the property and give Polly an estimate. Ray found that the foundation was cracked outside Polly’s kitchen which was creating instability in the walls of her home. He proposed that in order to permanently stabilize the walls NorCal Foundation Support could install Carbon Armor along the affected exterior wall. Polly agreed and they proceeded with the work.

Now Polly can rest assured that the crack in the foundation is properly fixed and will no longer cause her walls to become damaged or warped due to the instability that the untreated crack was causing. 

Jim M.’s house has a family room that was added around 1954. It is the only room in the house with a concrete slab. At one point in the past, there was a large redwood tree next to the house that apparently cracked the slab and there is an area that is slightly raised as a result. That tree was removed some time before Jim bought the house. Now Jim want’s to fix the slab so he gave NorCal Foundation Support a call to set up an appointment.

Ray Anderson with NorCal Foundation Support suggested that the slab be stabilized using Carbon Fiber stitching to prevent further cracking. Jim thought this solution would be perfect and is glad he proceeded with the suggested Carbon Fiber.

Brant J. from Davis noticed some cracks on the fireplace inside of his house, which was linked to a sinking foundation. While searching for solutions to this unwelcome foundation problem, he found NorCal Foundation Support.  He quickly called to make an appointment with one of our System Design Specialists.

His appointment followed shortly after his call.  He was informed during the appointment that the house could be stabilized with push piers. This process would even out the foundation for the house as well as prevent future cracking. 

Brant agreed that the push piers sounded exactly like what he needed and that they would be a perfect fix to preventing his house from sinking further due to the unstable foundation that it currently sat upon. The push piers would lift the house back up to where it was level again, and they would then continue to keep it level. 

Brant is now extremely happy with his house.  He feels good knowing that his foundation will be supported by the installed push piers for years to come.

Rosie E. of Dixon California noticed light seeping in through cracks in her basement, that her home was slightly sinking and that she even had bowed walls inside of her home as a result of her sinking home. Before these issues could get worse, Rosie contacted NorCal Foundation Support to come out and inspect her home in order to figure out the best and most permanent solution for her issue. 

The inspector decided that the best way to stabilize her home and keep it from sinking further was the Push Pier System that lifts the home and stabilizes the foundation, and the CarbonArmor system that supports foundation walls and stabilizes leaning and bowing walls.

Through performing this quoted work, all cracks in the foundation and basement walls were fixed and filled to keep the outside out, and even help with insulation. After the house was lifted, the basement walls were fixed up, and all cracks were filled. NorCal made sure that the gutters were all draining away from the house, to ensure that extra moisture was draining away from both the basement and the house.

Rosie has been very happy with her new home improvements, she doesn’t have to worry about her home sinking anymore and can now fully utilize her basement.

Winters resident Stuart V. noticed cracks around the edges of the walls of his house  which was a result of a sinking foundation. While searching for solutions he found NorCal Foundation Support and proceeded to make an appointment.

He was informed during his  appointment that the house could be stabilized permanently with push piers and excavation work. These suggested solutions would level the foundation for the house as well as prevent future cracking in the stabilized walls. Stuart agreed that the push piers sounded exactly like what he needed and were an ideal solution.

Stuart is now extremely happy knowing his house will be supported by the installed push piers for years to come.
