Retaining walls do just what they say - they retain. They also retain water and hold it against the foundation if they are not installed with a drainage system.

This is the support post under one end of the support beam. The pressure on both support systems is causing the cracking and movement we have been seeing in this home. Look familiar? Contact Peak Structural at 303 243 3028 or www.peakstructural.com/
Peak Structural's expert team, working with an engineeer, designed and installed a custom system to relieve the vertical and horizontal pressures; and, installed a support system. Need our expert team? Contact Peak Structural at 303 243 3028 or www.peakstructural.com/

The solution to this sinking porch is a piering system referred to as a slab pier, or porch pier system. A flat "bracket" top will support the porch while a helicial pile is turned into the earth until it literally lifts the porch back to the appropriate elevation. Photo taken by:

The Powerlift Systemâ„¢ is a system for constructing a grout column around the shaft of a standard helical pile. The Powerlift â„¢ is resistant to bucking in weak surface soils, is a stiffer pile (deflects less at a particular load), and provides additional corrosion protection in aggressive soils. The Powerlift â„¢ develops additional capacity by combing both end-bearing on the helical plates and skin friction along the rough surface of the grout column. The result is a high capacity pile system. Potential foundation settlement problems can be solved by installing the proper Foundation System prior to pouring concrete footings.
Here, you can see the trenches have been prepped and are filled partially with rock to keep the drain tile from sitting in the silty clay water that is intruding in the basement.
Huge full windows open like doors onto the front porch, and are complete with original full size storm windows of original wavy glass... bubbles and all.
The original front door survives and the hardware funtions perfectly. The door was not easy to free, though, and it was not easy to remove it for proper sanding and painting of the jambs, which begat the trim, replete with original sidelights. The deadbolt in this hulk of a door clicks over with a very satisfying "thunk". The upstairs has an entirely new sheetrock ceiling.
Piers are installed to transfer the weight of the structure from unstable soil to the piers which are positioned on bedrock or stable soil. Did you know that shaft and coupler details are not consistent among manufacturers, that these details may not be readily apparent when reviewing a product capacity table, that manufacturers may rate their products based on gross sections of shafts, ignoring couplers limitations and that there can be dramatic differences between material properties, tolerances, spacing of bolt holes, oversize bolt holes, general fit-up, weld quality, and more?

This home had sunk below grade despite installation of wall anchors by a previous company. This caused damage and rotting to the exterior of the house that was submerged.
This project called for Wall Anchors to stabilize the horizontal pressure of the soil against the foundation. It also included 77’ of excavation in order to release the weight of the soil so that the wall can be stabilized as much as possible.

Piers for this project are being installed on the exterior of the foundation. Piers are used to stabilize movement. The movement in this particular project is mountainside or hillside creep. Other types of movement that piering addresses is vertical movement. For more information, contact Peak Basement Systems. We’re located at 723 S. Sierra Madre St, Colorado Springs, CO 80903. You can contact us at (719) 260-7070 or go to www.peakbasementsystems.com
In this particular case, the floor load added after construction exceeded design values. Our posts have a safety factor of 2. That is equalivalnt to twice the load or weight of the structure. The reasoning behind that is not to push the post to its capacity; but, to allow for the addition of interior finishing of the structure such as walls,flooring, bathroom and kitchen installations, furnishings, etc. These additions will not compromise the integrity of the support system for the structure. In this instance, a second story was added which pushed this telepost far beyond its safety factor. Look familiar? Contact Peak Structural at 303 243 3028 or www.peakstructural.com/

This anchor is one of three anchors buried deep in the stable soil. The third photo shows how deep these are buried. These anchors are actually steel plates. These anchors are sized to perform in various soil types. The crew takes pictures of all of the work being done.
This telepost has been properly installed and is awaiting adjustment before assuming a full load transferance from temporary shoring measures.
This is just one of the issues the homeowner noticed as construction began. It was a good thing to stop and get a free evaluation before proceeding. Check out this : www.denverfoundationrepair.com/foundation-cracks.html

Here's the hallway of the finished basement with the trench going down the side. Once the drain tile has been installed, the Peak Basement Systems crew will cement everything into place. The homeowners will then replace the destroyed carpet and padding and no one will be able to tell that the drain tile is present under the carpet.
If you are following the photo story, now it is time to evaluate the foundation of the home. Lets see what is going on below the surface. Before that however, please note that the walls here need to be shored up. Look familiar? Contact Peak Structural at 303 243 3028 or www.peakstructural.com/
With the telepost adjusted properly and supporting the beams, you can see that the bricks are more straight and less compressed.
Teleposts should be properly adjusted to keep floors from sagging, but teleposts only have so much adjustment in them. If you see more of the "screw-like treads" than this picture, you may need new teleposts. Contact the experts at Peak Structural for a free evaluation at (303) 243-3028 or www.peakstructural.com
