The home was built around the turn of the century with building materials common at that time. The foundation walls were constructed of rubble, stone and brick, which had started to deteriorate excessively over the long life of the home. After more than 40 years residing in the house, the homeowners decided to sell the home and move to a retirement community. Unfortunately, due to the deteriorating state of the foundation walls, potential home buyers were scared to make on offer on the house. The homeowners tried reducing the price of the home in order to sell it, but after receiving no offers for more than a year, they decided they needed to remedy the problem. Their initial calls were to two foundation repair contractors who both told them the foundation was “too far gone” to fix it with common repair methods such as anchors, beams or carbon fiber straps. They then contacted a foundation replacement contractor, but the homeowners quickly learned that total foundation replacement would be very expensive and would not provide a warranty that they could pass on to the new owner. They needed a repair solution that could be completed quickly and economically so they could finally sell their home.
