Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Repair in Franklin, TN

Jane in Franklin, TN, mentioned to her Frontier service technician that she was concerned about settling in her garage foundation. During the inspection, the technician confirmed the foundation had failed and determined that six push piers would be needed to stabilize the structure and restore it to the proper elevation. The Frontier crew excavated down to the base of the foundation to access the footing. Push piers were driven through unstable soil to reach load-bearing ground below, and the weight of the home was transferred onto the piers to stabilize and lift the structure. Once the piers were in place, the crew backfilled the excavated areas and poured new concrete to restore the surface.

Foundation Crack

Cracks near doors and windows outside the home often signal foundation movement.

Excavation

An excavator is used to reach the base of the foundation where piers will be installed.

Old Supports

Existing supports under the garage were unable to keep the home stable long-term.

Pushing the Piers

A hydraulic press is used to push the piers into the soil until they reach solid, stable ground.

Lifting the Home

The home's weight is transferred to the braces. The braces lift the structure and stabilize the foundation.

Muddy Conditions

Our crew works in many weather and soil conditions, including wet red clay in Tennessee.

Finished Push Piers

Once the push piers are installed, they support the home's weight and prevent foundation sinking.

Replacing Concrete

Frontier strives to leave every home better than we found it. When concrete must be removed to complete a repair, the crew restores the surface as part of the installation process.

Completed Project

Once the foundation repair is complete, the system is largely hidden from view. The result is a stabilized, protected home without the need for visible braces, supports, or other eyesores.
