Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Stabilization and Slab Pier Installation Prepare Millington, TN Home for Major Remodel
When Kenny purchased his Millington, TN home a year and a half ago, he was aware of the foundation settlement issues—but the property’s lot, location, and shop made it a worthwhile investment. Over time, it became clear the home had experienced significant settling, especially toward the center and along interior walls. While those walls weren’t load-bearing, the extra weight and history of bathroom plumbing trenches likely contributed to the additional drop in those areas. Situated on backfill near the master bedroom side, the home needed professional stabilization before Kenny could begin his remodel plans, which included replacing tile with carpet, installing nail-down hardwood, and removing the wall between the kitchen and den.
To prepare the structure for these upgrades, we installed strategically placed slab piers at the two main load points where a new wall header would be added. This ensured proper support for the open-concept layout Kenny envisioned. Additionally, we addressed noticeable slab settlement in both the garage and the east side of the front porch. Using PolyLevel™, a high-density polyurethane foam injection, we lifted and stabilized the affected concrete areas—drilling and injecting as needed to achieve lasting results without disruption to the surrounding structure.
With long-term residency in mind, Kenny made the smart choice to stabilize the foundation before diving into cosmetic upgrades. By resolving structural concerns first, he now has a strong, level base for future renovations that will increase both comfort and property value.
