The Problem

We did an evaluation for a home owner on Cameno Island, and discovered some soil displacement and settlement, leading to foundation issues. The problem was severe enough that we needed to pour an entirely new foundation and reinforce it, since the home was positioned on a hillside.

The Solution

We met with our client to understand the scope of the situation. They were looking for a team / a contractor that could mitigate the problem of the unstable hillside as well as pour a permanent foundation for the home. We worked with our partners to lift the entire home, so we could access the entire foundation. Usually settlement occurs in one corner of the house, but this was an extreme case.

We worked with a structural engineer and geo tech to determine the:

• Types of piles (steel rods) we needed to use
• How deep the piles should be
• How far apart they should be

Permitting is another critical part of the process. You cannot do any foundation work without a proper permitting. We helped our client navigate the permitting process, to make sure everything was in line before work began.

After the plan was determined and permitting was good to go, we drove our piles into the ground. For this specific project, we used 25 piles around the perimeter of the house, insuring the home will be permanently secured and foundation issues fixed for good.

The Results

25 piles later, and we successfully created a new and stable foundation for our client. As a part of any job, we guarantee our work. It means you as the home owner, if there are any issues, we fix it. And, you can sell your home, and we guarantee it for the next homeowners life as well.
