Stabilizing Home with Push Piers - Salem, OR

This homeowner noticed that the floors in their living room were beginning to sag. In certain spots, the floors even felt bouncy when you walked on them like the house was settling into the soil. Knowing that this was an older home and the soil had changed, the homeowner decided to call John's Waterproofing about our foundation repair solutions. For this home, we recommended installing 5 Push Piers along the foundation of the home to raise the house and keep it stabilized. These piers are driven into the ground using a hydraulic ram and uses the weight of the structure to help add more support. By installing these steel Push Piers, this offers the homeowners a permanent solution to their homes settling foundation. 

SmartJacks to the Rescue! Pacific City, OR

This homeowner first noticed that their floor was slanting in their kitchen. It then developed a slight bounce to it, followed by a few doors that were sticking in their frames. Looking for a solution before the issue progressed further, they called up John's Waterproofing. We scheduled their free inspection and discovered that their homes foundation had settled unevenly, leaving some of the wooden posts floating above their footings. 

To address this issue we proudly offer SmartJacks. These replace the old wooden posts, anchoring into both the wooden beam above and the footing below. The SmartJack is then adjusted into place, stabilizing the home. These will not rot or mold, and can be adjusted more over the years if needed. Now the homeowners can enjoy their home being on stable ground once again. 

Floating Wooden Posts in La Conner, WA

This home suffered from bouncy and squeaky floors. The owners knew that if left unaddressed, this could lead to worse foundation issues. To get on top of this issue, the owners contacted John's Waterproofing and scheduled a free inspection. We sent out a design specialist who did a full inspection. Afterwards we sat down with the owners and crafted a repair plan to suit their home and budget. To stabilize the home we had to replace the floating wooden posts with SmartJacks. These adjust to fit the space, and will not succumb to any water issues over the years. We then installed a drain system and sump pump. These will ensure water won't be able to flood the space and damage the vapor barrier and the remaining wooden posts will be able to stay out of water. We installed a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, overlapping edges and running this up the walls. Now the space is on solid ground again.
