Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Stabilization Protects Home Investment in Southaven, MS
Johnny C. of Southaven, MS was facing signs of foundation settlement on the south and east sides of his home, particularly in the kitchen, living room, and master bathroom. As a future retiree planning to sell the property in a few years, Johnny wanted to address the issue now—before it could worsen and reduce the home’s resale value. Using laser-level measurements and homeowner-supplied data, it was confirmed that both the east and south walls had settled by approximately one inch. Of particular concern was the chimney, which appeared to be shifting and potentially pulling the slab with it.
After reviewing multiple repair options, Johnny chose a comprehensive solution focused on stabilizing both the exterior and interior foundation. The final plan included three piers around the chimney—two behind the structure and one helical pier beneath the double door and window assembly—and interior PolyLevel® injections extending 7 feet out from the south wall through the kitchen, living room, and master bathroom. Johnny allowed drilling through flooring in the living room and kitchen, as those surfaces were being replaced. In the master bathroom, our team was permitted to inject foam through two adjacent closets where the slab was already exposed concrete. Johnny ensured we would have access by removing the rear deck before our scheduled arrival.
This strategic repair not only addressed current structural concerns but also added long-term value and peace of mind. By proactively reinforcing the foundation, Johnny protected his investment and ensured future buyers would see a stable, well-maintained home.
