Augusta, GA: Crawlspace Structural Repair and Pier Replacement

If not repaired promptly, structural issues caused by insufficient support can lead to extensive, costly damage and undermine your home’s security. Recently, our team completed a crawlspace structural repair project at a residential property in Augusta, GA.

Burdened by settlement and rot, the home’s foundation required better support in the crawlspace area to avoid instability. By replacing these rotten materials with new support structures, we restored the structural integrity of our customer’s home before more widespread damage could accumulate. As local experts in foundation repair, we always diagnose the root cause of your home’s symptoms and provide a permanent solution backed by our lifetime warranty.

Problem

The homeowner noticed that the floors were sloping on one side of the house. During our inspection, we found the underlying causes of the issue: the original foundation piers had begun to sink into the soil. Additionally, the bandboard was rotten, likely due to age and moisture. This combination of settlement and wood rot compromised the structural integrity of the floor above, resulting in an uneven appearance.

Solution

To address the sinking piers and rotten wood, we implemented a permanent solution rather than a temporary fix. First, our crew removed the rotten bandboard and replaced it with new, treated lumber. Next, we removed the failing existing foundation piers. We then built new piers and poured new footers to provide a solid, reliable base and restore structural stability.

Outcome

The structural repairs successfully leveled and stabilized the floors. The home is now permanently stabilized, and the homeowner has peace of mind knowing the foundation is secure for the long term.
