Photo Album: Shifting Foundation Fixed in Simpsonville, SC
Cantey Foundation Specialists was called by this Simpsonville homeowner to see what was causing the cracks in her brick. Because when it rains water puddles up on this corner of house and sits, it loosens up the soft clay. Over time, the home began to settle each time clay gave way a little. When the foundation moves you will see signs such as the crack you see here. Sixto and his crew were able stabilize her foundation using our warranted Push Pier system, putting the homeowner at ease.
Crack caused by soil shift
The clay soil that the house sits on shifted as the weather elements change from dry to rainy seasons.
