Foundation Underpinning, Push Piers

During the summer of 2020, the long-term homeowners of this 1940's built home in Fort Rouge contacted Blue Maxx with growing concerns regarding foundation shifting and cracking throughout the home.

The homeowners noted a presence of minor drywall cracks and tight doors over the last decade, which they felt were normal given the age of home and poor soil conditions in their area. However in the last year, foundation settlement had progressed tremendously, prompting the homeowners to call in an expert.

Upon our initial inspection of the home, we found that north side of the building had settled more than 6" from its original position - causing a significant slope in both the main level and basement floors, as well as large drywall cracks and extremely tight windows and doors. Given the severity of foundation settlement, immediate action was required to prevent irreversible damage to the home.

The customer contacted Blue Maxx Basement Systems to provide a permanent solution. We installed WaterGuard perimeter drainage system to protect basement from water seepage, diverting water to the home’s sump system. Crawl space was encapsulated using CleanSpace membrane, sealing the area from moisture and unwanted odor. The homeowners no longer experience excess moisture and odor in their home, and can develop their basement into usable living space.
