Foundation Piering Experts: Case Study

PierMagic is the leading foundation specialists servicing Kansas City metro for foundation repair, foundation piering, and crack sealing. Check out this specific case study on foundation piering.

Foundation Piering Overview

PierMagic Foundation Specialists services all of Kansas City including Blue Springs, Lee's Summit, Grandview, Raymore, Belton, Liberty, Parkville, Olathe, Leawood, Overland Park, Lenexa, Mission, Shawnee, and Kansas City. The homeowner found PierMagic's reviews, which are over 4.8 (highest-rated foundation repair company in Kansas City), which solidified their decision to work with the experienced foundation piering company.

This Raymore, Missouri resident was experiencing settling in their home's foundation. The home was built in 1960 and the cracks being seen were larger, deeper, and more complex that normal settlement. The homeowner communicated their issue to our team: the resident was experiencing settling in foundation causing cracks in the concrete and brick in the home. The homeowner requested a free estimate from PierMagic.

The concrete cracks were causing the exterior brick structure to lean. Just by looking at the visible exterior cracks, there were large gaps in the cracks, enough to allow for water to seep in.

The combination of leaning walls and large foundation cracks indicated a more severe foundation problem existed in this home. Our crew arrived onsite for a free estimate to assess the situation and provide the most effective solution.

Addressing Inward Leaning Walls and Cracks

The team at PierMagic Foundation Specialists performed a residential foundation repair free assessment to determine an effective solution. It was determined that the home needed a two-series solution, foundation piering and concrete sealing. The team began by excavating the exterior of the home to expose the foundation. Then PierMagic installed four helical piers, with low profile brackets, along the exterior, to make the piers less noticeable. To ensure the cracks are fully sealed and to aesthetically finish the project, the team applied an industrial concrete seal to cover over piers.

The Solution

The results were immediate. The homeowner could no longer see the gaping cracks or leaning wall. The foundation itself is much, much stronger and durable to ensure the home is able to withstand decades of stable and healthy weight and settlement.
