95-Year-Old Home Crawl Space Repair

Clearwater, FL

Market: Residential

Solution: Foundation Repair

Services: Crawl Space Repair

Older home foundation revitalized with crawl space repair. Galvanized steel jacks and reinforcing beams were utilized.

The Project

Helicon was tasked with addressing significant structural issues in a 95-year-old home in Clearwater, Florida. The primary concern was floor sagging, indicating foundation settlement. The project scope included:

  • Thorough Inspection: A comprehensive assessment of the foundation and crawl space to identify the root cause of the issue.
  • Foundation Stabilization: Installation of a galvanized steel piering system to stabilize the foundation and lift the house.
  • Floor Leveling: Leveling the uneven floors to restore structural integrity.
  • Crawl Space Repair: Addressing moisture and ventilation issues in the crawl space.

The Challenge

The primary challenge in this project was working with a nearly 100-year-old home. Any modifications had to be carefully planned and executed to preserve the home’s foundation.

  • Hidden Damage: The age of the home meant that there could be hidden structural issues that were not immediately apparent.

The Solution

Helicon successfully addressed these challenges by:

  • Expert Diagnosis: Identifying the root cause of the floor sagging as foundation settlement.
  • Strategic Foundation Repair: Installing galvanized steel pier jacks and new support beams to stabilize the foundation and lift the house.
  • Innovative Solution: Adding stone to the ground and installing galvanized steel jacks to support the beams, providing a durable and effective solution.
  • Meticulous Execution: The work was carried out with precision and attention to detail, minimizing disruption to the home’s structure and integrity.

By implementing these strategies, Helicon was able to revitalize the 95-year-old Clearwater home, restoring its structural integrity and ensuring its longevity.
