Scarborough, Maine

This entire home was sinking due to the lack of a proper external foundation, making it unsafe and uninhabitable. The floors inside were sloping 4-6 inches, and the entire outer structure was supported by cinder blocks placed on rotting wood logs sitting on loose soil/sand, posing a significant danger. To address this critical issue, 15,000 lbs of concrete was poured around the perimeter to provide essential support to the home. Through careful lifting and leveling procedures, the home was successfully lifted and perfectly leveled. To further enhance its stability, steel and pressure-treated 6×6 posts were installed in front of the home, while custom concrete support columns were integrated, tied into the home’s carrying beams, and built around the sides. Thanks to these comprehensive improvements, the home is now safe, level, and secure, and irreversible damage has been avoided.

Chebeague Island, Maine

A home on Chebeague Island was experiencing sinking issues. The carrying beams were failing, creating a hazardous situation for the homeowners. The use of cinder blocks and scrap wood planks as supports resulted in unevenness, collapse, and sinking due to the lack of concrete footers. The risk of further collapse and severe property damage was imminent.

Our team promptly addressed the problem by lifting and leveling the home. Concrete footers were carefully poured to provide stable support, and we custom-cut and installed permanent engineer-rated 46,000lb steel and concrete support posts. Steel plates were used to secure the concrete footer to the post and the post to the carrying beam. This comprehensive solution effectively prevented any additional property damage caused by an insufficient support structure.
