Photo Album: Foundation Troubles in Jacksonville, FL
This troubled home was experiencing extreme foundational failure. The chimney was begining to separate completely from the home. Our expert crew was able to permanently stabilize the chimney by transferring the weight of the structure to load-bearing soil with helical piers and sealing the cracks with NexusPro joint sealant.
Foundational Failure
Overtime as moisture weakens the soils below, homes will experience shifting and settlement. This is an extreme case of such as the weak soils below this home had caused the chimney itself to almost entirely separate from the home.
Foundation Stabilization
Our expert crew permanently stabilized this chimney's foundation by installing 3 helical piers. These piers transfer the weight of the structure above to load-bearing soil or bedrock. In many cases this solution may even lift the structure back to its original position.
Joint Sealant
To seal the cracks of the newly repaired chimney, our crew used NexusPro joint sealant. This silicone-based sealant is specially engineered to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions.
