Foundation Settlement in Bealeton, VA
Challenge
A local church in Bealeton, VA, faced a significant structural issue that threatened the safety and stability of their building. The congregation noticed that the floors inside the church had become uneven and were sloping, a clear indicator of foundation settlement. This problem created an unsafe environment for visitors and compromised the structural integrity of the community landmark. Understanding the urgency of the situation, the church sought a professional partner to provide a reliable and permanent solution for their foundation problems. They needed an expert in foundation repair in Bealeton, VA, to diagnose the underlying cause and implement a fix that would restore stability to their cherished building.
Solution
NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair was contacted to address the church's structural concerns. Our process began with a thorough inspection by a System Design Specialist, who confirmed that the sloping floors were caused by failing crawl space supports. To provide a lasting solution, our team proposed the installation of the advanced SmartJack® System. Our production crew, led by an experienced foreman, meticulously installed 33 galvanized steel SmartJacks and 150 feet of supplemental support beams. Each column was precisely cut and secured, creating a robust support system for the compromised crawl space. This installation immediately stabilized the foundation and allowed our team to carefully lift the sagging floors back toward their original, level position. The project was completed efficiently and according to all permit requirements, successfully resolving the church's foundation issues. Today, the floors are even and secure, ensuring the church is a safe and stable environment for its congregation for years to come.
