Foundation Fix

Our foundation needed some help in the form of leveling and stabilizing. So some guys came out and dug some big holes.
A bunch of big holes.
Then they put some concrete piling pieces under the foundation wall...
...and smooshed them down into the ground as far as they would go, using a hydraulic jack.
Then they used a bunch of hydraulic jacks to raise the foundation up, and propped it on some blocks and more piling pieces.
Here's the back door - before. The top corner was dragging on the frame.
Here is is after - hard to see, but it was almost perfectly aligned. No more dragging.
Remember - keep the soil next to your foundation moist (we didn't enough!)
