Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Failure in Rockaway, NJ

For this home in Rockaway, NJ, signs of a settling foundation became clear through various cracks throughout the interior of the house. When signs of foundation failure start to reveal themselves, it is important to take action to prevent them from worsening. The homeowner reached out to Quality 1st to find a reliable support solution that would protect their home. Our System Design Specialist Joe H. went out to the home to assess the foundation and propose the homeowner with a repair plan. Once they decided to move forward with the installation, our Foreman Faustino and crew arrived to carry out the restoration. Our Helical Piers were installed beneath the home, anchoring the foundation support and ensuring a strong home foundation. These piers reach various depths and are almost completely concealed once our crew completes the job. Now, this home has a stable foundation that will no longer face the risk of total foundation failure.

Before Foundation Support Repair

The homeowner took notice of obvious signs of foundation failure in the home. Here, a crack in the foundation can be seen on the exterior of the home.

Signs of Failing Foundation

Interior cracks are a clear warning sign of foundation failure and shouldn't be ignored! Cracks will continue to grow and, in extreme cases, can lead to total wall failure.

Installing Piers Beneath the Home

Our Helical Piers are drilled into the ground beneath the compromised foundation. The piers are driven in until they are anchored into the soil providing a stable and reliable support system.

Helical Piers in Place

One the Helical Piers are set in place, our crew backfills the holes with the excavated soil. The supporting plate beneath the foundation is left slightly above ground level.
