Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Repair Success in Water Valley, MS: Restoring Stability for a Family Home
The Problem: Cracks, Sticking Doors, and a Settling Foundation
Betty and Al D. of Water Valley, MS, reached out after years of worsening foundation issues in their family home. Built in 1984 after a tornado destroyed the original two-story house, the current structure sat over an old filled-in well. Over time, cracks spread across the east side brickwork, and doors—including the back door and a bedroom closet door—became increasingly difficult to open and close. A professional inspection revealed more than two inches of settlement in the northeast corner, with the rest of the home gradually sloping toward that point.
The Solution: Push Piers and Poly-Leveling for Lasting Stability
To address the problem, our team recommended and installed six push piers along the affected corner, reinforced with Poly backfill to stabilize the foundation and prevent further sinking. This method provided structural support and helped relieve pressure on the home’s framing and brickwork. While the west-side brick separation did not fully close, the homeowners chose to add six feet of brick stitching for a permanent repair. Following the project, the sticking doors—particularly on the northwest side—showed marked improvement, and the foundation was successfully stabilized.
Why Proven Foundation Repair Methods Matter
By using advanced push pier technology and polyurethane backfill, we ensured the foundation was not just temporarily patched, but permanently reinforced. These proven methods are designed to restore structural integrity and protect against long-term settlement. The results left Betty and Al thrilled, noting: “They did a great job. They were very professional and efficient.” For homeowners in Mississippi facing similar foundation challenges, professional repair solutions are essential to protect property value, safety, and peace of mind.
