Foundation Solutions in the Tri-State Area

Supportworks' foundation repair products, installed by Alford Foundation and Crawl Space Repair, are designed by licensed professional structural and geotechnical engineers (PE) and contractors on staff at FSI.

	Helical Anchor/Tiebacks Supportworks' Helical Anchors (also referred to as tiebacks) provide lateral stability to foundation walls and retaining walls with unbalanced earth pressures. Helical anchors can be installed with hand-held equipment, mini-excavators, skid steers, backhoes, trackhoes, or crane-supported rigs so the anchors can be installed in almost any application.

	Push Pier System Supportworks' Push Pier System uses rugged steel pier sections, driven deep into the earth's soil, to transfer the weight of a structure onto competent, load-bearing strata or bedrock. Not only does this foundation piling permanently stabilize the structure's foundation, it also provides the best opportunity to lift the structure back to its original, level position.

	SmartJacks - Crawl Space Jacks The Supportworks' SmartJack® rests on a solid concrete base which is placed on engineered fill. An adjustable, heavy-duty steel column is secured to both the concrete base and to the bottom of the beam or joists above. The unique adjustment ability of the SmartJack® allows it to support the load above. In many cases it can lift the floors and walls back to level, restoring integrity to a living area.
