We’ve done a lot of work throughout Jackson County, but this particular home on Royal Drive in Jackson was a recent example of a homeowner who unfortunately waited a little too long until the problem got a lot worse (and more expensive to repair). Fortunately, she called us and our team knew exactly what to do. First, we had to secure the other foundation walls to prevent additional damage as the entire foundation had been weakened with the collapse. Then, we rebuilt the collapsed wall and secured everything with our anchoring system.
Once we were finished the homeowner was obviously relieved. If she had it to do over again, she wouldn’t have let it get this bad, but the important thing is nobody was hurt and her home is safe again. Now she has a lifetime guarantee and the peace of mind knowing she won’t have go through an experience like that again.
