Stabilizing a Historic Home's Foundation in Boyds, MD

Challenge

A homeowner in Boyds, MD, grew concerned about the structural integrity of their older bungalow. They noticed signs consistent with foundation settlement and worried about the long-term stability and value of their property. An expert inspection confirmed their fears: the home was experiencing active foundation settlement, which required immediate attention to prevent further damage. The primary challenge was to find a reliable foundation repair contractor who could provide a permanent solution without major disruption to the home.

Solution

As a leading foundation repair contractor in the region, our team was called to provide a lasting solution. After a thorough assessment, we determined that the best course of action was to install 14 high-strength helical piers. These piers are engineered to be driven deep into the ground, past the unstable soil, to reach solid, load-bearing strata.

The installation process was carefully managed to support and stabilize the existing foundation, transferring the structure's weight onto the piers. This method of foundation stabilization effectively halted any further settlement. The homeowner benefited from a solution that restored the home's structural integrity, protected their property value, and was completed with minimal disruption.

The customer was extremely satisfied, gaining peace of mind knowing their home is now secure for years to come.
