Fixed A Bedroom Wall Ready To Cave In
That anxiety with his fingers in the slab corner 😮
How much did this cost?
Looks expensive, what is cost of such work?
I had my foundation repaired last summer and the area where my driveway ends and the garage entrance begins bent and cracked in sections like three feet from my garage entrance. I can't share a pick here but if I mention that I can no longer use a ladder to clean my gutters above the garage door, it may give you an idea of what happened, for those fortunate enough to never have had to fix their foundation. My situation is a little different than the entire driveway sinking as a whole as it is shown in this video. My question is, would this foam technique also work for my situation?
Any ditch or hole 5 feet or more deep has to be shored (regardless of soil type) according to osha. Some of those were pretty deep.
Shored, or stepped. Notice the stepping in the video.
How long does this last?
it honestly didnt even look worth saving
when you need foundation repair, you want foundation repair and you'd like to save a lot of money, right?
House built on sand or not proper drainage or built on( not a solid base )
Jesus this looks expensive.
You’re talking 7 inches but at what point should you worry. Is an inch or inch and a half bad.
Replacement cost is about the same. But tear down is expensive. Going new gives the opportunity to make it more appealing and modern. Tough call.
How much does something like this cost?
Are piers ever put in the center of the home or the center of settled areas of the home to properly support both the perimeter and the center and prevent collapse?
Better call Hoh Sis
For anyone or contractors, FYI: Never use foam, it is basically plastic and breaks down over time, will not last. Galvanized or Stainless steel is the only way to go. Do not let anyone try and sell you just steel, DOES NOT matter the grade, rust never sleeps, and below grade there is always moisture.
40x$2500=$100k? Demo the house.

Can field stone foundations be lifted?
I should have more clear information later today or tomorrow, but the back of my house is built right on the ground and my recent concern was the deeper and weaker dips on the first floor kitchen. My idea wast to open it up and add some cross beams to the existing, or at least what I am pretty sure are the existing three cross beams, besides the end parts. There seems to be 4 foot gaps between the beams on a 9 by 13.5 room, at two places, also with a second story above it as well. Problem is this week I went to pull up the floor in that area and found cement on top of what must be about 1 inch of plywood, and the more cement is on top in the firm shorter area that I was going to let go and the sagging area has less and then no cement. So I opened a 1.25 inch hole to see what was really there and that is how I know it is about 1 inch of plywood. However just about 1 inch below that is dirt... To me that means there is no wise bottom under the kitchen floor and what about the edges, footers are they even there or it is all built right on the ground like some dog box. When i bought it about 12 years ago they told me the house was over 100, but I was expecting a full information package would be given to me after I bought it and there was nothing, so I have guess and found very little about it from the neighbors as well. So I will need to pull up at least one 4 foot section to see what is under it and then I assume start digging to see if there is a support system on the edges. I assume there is since there is not any cracked drywall in that room of the room above it on any of the walls. But it really has me concerned. It also seems that no information is out about how one has ever truly repaired a house setting on the ground with sagging floors. They all are craw space or regular basements...
That sounds like a complicated problem. I actually had an issue where someone had built an additional on a patio slab. It was barely three inches deep and it even had a built in slope. The floor was cracking apart and the neighbors said that it used to flood up through the cracks when it would rain heavy for multiple days. I took a different approach. My first goal was to deal with the water. My thinking was that the floor had already been there for at least a decade so if I could stop water erosion underneath the slab then maybe it would stabilize. I added gutters all around the roof and made sure to run the downspouts well away from the foundation. I added a small patio outside on the southern side (with the most weather exposure) and sloped that patio 2% away from the house and then regraded the dirt with clay on the other side to slope away from the house. On the worst corner that sunk I dug down and added a footer just in one area to stabalize since it was floating in the air. Then I used a grinder to 'chase' the concreted cracks on the inside, I cut slots perpendicular to the cracks, inserted fiberglass reinforcing rods (kinda like stiches), and then epoxied the cracks and rods. I added self leveler mix to reduce the interior slope and then I laid tile over it. Five years later and no cracks or visible movement at all. Maybe my issue was more minor than yours but you might consider fully addressing water control first if you haven't already. There's a youtube channel called Gate City Foundation Drainage where the guy does tons of drainage improvements to help with foundation issues and he shows the most critical considerations. I don't think he actually does the foundation repair though.
At what psi would you start to damage the footer?
Seriously it cost too much might as well tear them down and build new .. the house look bad any way
Genuine question but why not just add more concrete on top to level it instead?
Do you think that would be easier and more cost effective than what you just watched?
How long does the foam last before it starts to degrade and sinking reoccur? Is the foam resistant to water erosion?
you too smart
Does this work include a 50 cent washer at the end
Hey camarada , ese trabajo es muy profesional, digno de un paisano, la pregunta es sobre cuánto sale un trabajo así.$$$
Easily 60k-85k job. Thats just the foundation work, not including all the work thats going to be needed after with -windows - Interior exterior doors -Walls inside the house like dry wall - Plumbing, Electrical - Exterior brick Hell you are looking at least Another 50k-100k on everything I just listened. So all said and done you're looking at damn near a 150k-200k. And yes that is all inflated price as well.
The new owner is buying for the location and figured that repairing/remodeling would cost less than a total teardown and rebuild.
@@GatorWinupin todays market she would be right on that.
The house looks like it's gutted anyway. They probably factored that into their budget.
You got the JoJ done from HoH SiS!
I worked for a company that picked the house off the foundation with big beams and jack , and we would demo the old basement, and build new level one. But this is pretty cool to see. High stress job for sure
Do you have a video/recommendation for foundations in a flood zone for a stone house? Haven’t started building yet, still in research phase.
Where can I purchase these set ups ?
I am going to fix the drainage of my house tomorrow😢

Hoh sis
After watching this video the question remains; "How To Lift A Sinking Concrete Driveway With Foam"?
After reading your comment, you saved me one minute 54 seconds of time to be wasted.
lol that’s what I thought
Yeahh me too cheking the comments to see if someone explains' how to lift a sinking concrete'
The foam is what they are injecting into the holes with the hoses. The foam lifts the concrete.
How did you left it wor so few drill holes & how did you determine where to drill for max lift?
How much does this cost to get done?
From the comments, anywhere from 50k to 90k
That house is not worth the repairs. The plumbing, drainage, electrical, frame, roof and internal fixtures will all suffer. Knock it down and build it properly.
Probably cheaper to repair than to rebuild because of the basement. This is why some of the piers are inside -- the point being, even after a rebuild, the new house will continue to settle on the same active soil. Piers are needed anyways. It would not matter if the piers support the old basement or a rebuilt basement.
That sounds logical @GatorWinup However, I do this taking it down is a viable option
How long will it take for those steel rods to rust and break off?
pretty much longer than you will ever be alive
As a carpenter and former home builder, I would replace the damaged. If your floor is crooked it can usually be fixed from under the house, the piers may need to be replaced, because over time your outside foundation settles and your inside one don't, so lowering the inside one will straighten your floor back out. The outside band could be rotten and need replacing. In a lot of cases even if you did this it wouldn't fix your problems. Everything settles, and all foundations and concrete slabs crack. It doesn't matter if it has rebar or wire in it, it all cracks. So if there is just a small crack I wouldn't worry about it to much.
Got house with geo piers, water intrusion fixed dry in basement no issues there BUT noticed at the top of a 12ft section the wall starting to pull away from house at the top so the sill plate(2x6) hangs over inside basement about 2 1/2”. Floor slanted. Would this work. I thought just jack house and re pour or build cinder block wall? Any ideas
@@StLbfdup On most houses the brick on the outside of the house is just covering like siding. The house is built then the brick wall is added after the house is built. Unless it's a block house. I would have to look at it, but it sounds like you are saying the brick is pulling away from the house. And that can happen. when the brick are laid they attach it to the house with little metal pieces and nail it to the wall and mortar it to the brick. If the wall starts to rot, the nail pull loose and that could cause the wall to move away from the house. In some cases, you may have to relay the brick, to do that you have to take the brick off the house, when you do you will have the perfect opportunity to replace the plywood on the wall. then relay the brick.
just remember before you take the outside wall off build a temporary wall a couple of feet inside the house to hold up the weight of the house. If on a floor system you may have to put wall or supports under the house too.
Easily cracked, so shockwave from bombing like in Ukraine will crack it even more.
All that work and the downspout wasn't fixed to drain away from the house lol
Can a house settle differentials with no cracking of the block foundation and no cracking of the brick veneer? My floors slope but there’s no cracking or anything
It sure can.. but why would you bother to measure the height differentials when there is no cracking?
@@GatorWinupbecause the floor slope is not small. It’s 1” in some spots.
how much is each Push Pier?
about $2,700
make a video about how to do it step by step
I have a house that is dropping 6 inches in one side. Somehow, the engineer told me that it only needs 12 piers in one side. However, a foundation company is quoting me for 40 piers. Is it common to have a difference in opinion between engineers and foundation companies? Also, what is the likelihood of plumbing breaking in these situations? Are there any ways to prevent this from happening ?.
Honestly, you’re better off doing the job right if you’re planning to stay there and doing the full perimeter and inside house piers. My house dipped 5.5” on the right side and I had a full 37 steel piers put in and I just noticed last week my house has dipped an inch on right side from the last reading the co. did post lift. They are coming back out and adjusting the piers under the lifetime warranty the foundation has now. As far as plumbing, yes something is probably cracked already under your slab and if not it will break with that type of lift needed for sure.
@@TXCAMSS1 how much is it doing something like this?
The company will always go for more money. The engineers figure is probably spot on if the primary issue that caused it is corrected by the company doing the job. That's where the issue with many companies comes in, they take the easy way out that makes them the most money. The guy that says he had his done and it sank again is most likely they did not go deep enough to get the proper resistance to start with and they used push piers rather than the screw type.
@@2olvets443push piers are for structures with more weight. Helical piers are for lighter structures
Do you mind following up with comments about the 1" dip after the job? Was it that something had failed or just the initial depth wasn't sufficient?@@TXCAMSS1
I wonder how this house is holding up!?
Is this plastic? I don't about using plastic.
