Foundation Settlement Repair in Thurmont, MD
Challenge
A homeowner in Thurmont, MD began noticing warning signs of foundation settlement inside their home. Cracks had started forming around several door frames, and the windows were becoming harder to open and close. At first, these issues seemed minor, but over time, the homeowner became concerned that the house was shifting and the foundation problem could continue to get worse.
Foundation settlement can happen gradually, but signs like sticking windows, drywall cracks near doors, uneven gaps, and doors that no longer close properly often point to movement below the home. Wanting to protect the structure and prevent further damage, the homeowner contacted NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair for a professional foundation inspection.
Solution
After completing a full inspection of the Thurmont, MD home, our Design Specialist found that the foundation had been slowly settling over time. To stop the settlement and restore stability, NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair installed push piers around the foundation of the home.
Push piers are designed to transfer the weight of the home to stable soil or load-bearing strata deep below the surface. Once installed, the system helps stabilize the foundation, prevent additional movement, and support the home long-term.
With the push pier system in place, the foundation settlement was stopped and the home’s structural stability was restored. The homeowner was happy to have a permanent foundation repair solution and peace of mind knowing their Thurmont, MD home was protected.
