Foundation Repair in Amma, WV

Challenge

Recently, a homeowner from Amma, WV contacted us at Alford Foundation & Crawl Space Repair with concerns about their home’s sagging floors and doors that wouldn’t open or close properly. Understanding how troubling and unsafe this can feel, we were quick to assure them that they were in good hands. Following our straightforward process, our Appointment Center team promptly scheduled a home inspection. 

Solution

One of our expert Solution Specialists visited the home, conducted a thorough examination of the foundation, and identified the underlying issue. It was clear that the foundation had settled over time, leading to the issues the homeowner was experiencing. To provide a reliable and lasting solution, we recommended the installation of a Helical Pier system. Our installation process kicked off with a clear explanation of the work to the homeowner. Then, our skilled production team, comprising a foreman and dedicated installers, got to work seamlessly.

We installed the Helical Pier - a steel pier anchored firmly into stable, load-bearing soil beneath the foundation. This not only lifts but also stabilizes the foundation, directly addressing the problem of sagging floors and sticking doors. Upon completion, the transformation was noticeable. The floors felt solid underfoot, and doors swung open without a hitch. The homeowner remarked on the peace of mind our swift and clear process had brought them. Importantly, with Helical Piers now underpinning their home, they felt confident the solution was not just immediate but enduring. Our close-out of the job included a thorough clean-up, leaving the homeowner’s property as tidy as we found it, if not tidier.
