Photo Album: Foundation Repair Contractor in Danville, Kentucky

Sinking homes are never fun, they can lead to exponential increases in home repair bills if not properly accounted for. The problem isn't in the age of your home though, it's the soil it rests on. In this drought, we've heard some home owners say that they've been living in their home for 20+ years, but this is the first time they have ever experienced settling issues. In order to fix the issue, we install piers, as seen in this photo album.

The bottom of this pier has been screwed down into deep stable soil to transfer the weight of the home to stable soil.

Home Footer

The depth of the footer was pretty short, something we see often with homes who struggle with settling issues.
