At MDH Foundation Repair, we understand that the foundation of your home is more than just a structural necessity; it’s the bedrock of your peace of mind. Recently, we had the privilege of restoring stability to the Beasley residence by repairing eight (8) compromised wood pilings. Our approach combined cutting-edge materials and a deep commitment to quality, ensuring that the home’s foundation remains strong against the elements.
The project involved installing 14″-16″ round fiberglass structural jackets around the 10″-12″ wood pilings. These jackets were meticulously placed 30″ above and 30″ below the concrete, ensuring maximum protection. Our team carefully assessed the final diameter of the pile jackets before ordering, ensuring a perfect fit. To install the system, we removed two layers of concrete around each pile—a task that required more labor than initially estimated, but one we handled with precision and care.
At MDH Foundation Repair, success is not just about completing a project—it’s about exceeding our customers’ expectations and ensuring their homes stand strong for years to come. We measure success by our customer’s satisfaction with the MDH experience, and by the durability and stability of the repaired piles. Follow-up inspections and customer feedback are critical indicators that guide us in our commitment to delivering lasting solutions.
At MDH Foundation Repair, we take pride in the meticulous planning and rigorous standards that go into every pile repair project. Each of our solutions is not only custom-tailored to the specific needs of the structure but also backed by a comprehensive plan that has been carefully reviewed, approved, and stamped by a licensed structural engineer. This ensures that our approach is not just effective but also adheres to the highest standards of safety and integrity.
We strictly follow all area permit requirements and inspections, demonstrating our confidence in our process and installation. We believe in full transparency and have nothing to hide—our work speaks for itself. Unlike some competitors who may use quick fixes like pouring concrete into form tubes, our StrongHold® Pile Repair system is a robust and durable solution. In fact, the system we use is so reliable and strong that it has been approved by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for use in bridges and overpasses. This level of approval underscores the strength and longevity of our repair solutions, giving our clients peace of mind that their foundation is in the best possible hands.
Post-completion, we provided Mr. Beasley with detailed instructions on how to monitor the repaired piles and maintain the fiberglass jackets. Regular inspections are recommended to ensure the long-term sustainability of the repair. Our dedication to our clients doesn’t end when the job is done; we offer a comprehensive warranty on our pile repair services, covering structural integrity for five years. This ensures that our clients can enjoy peace of mind, knowing that their homes are protected.
"Mike, the owner, was on site the entire time. His staff knew their job and were pleasant to work with. Quality was top-notch, and I will use them again for any future piling repair. The process and end product is much better than any of their competitors."
Q: How long does the pile repair process take?
A: The entire process, from inspection to installation, can take 4-6 weeks, depending on the manufacturing lead time for custom jackets. The actual installation typically takes between 2 and 5 working days, depending on the scope of the repair.
Q: Can the fiberglass jackets be painted to match my home’s aesthetics?
A: Absolutely. In fact, we recommend that homeowners paint and seal the fiberglass jacket within 30 days following installation. This step not only helps to blend the repair with your home’s aesthetics but also ensures the jacket is protected from the elements. Please note that failure to do so will void the warranty.
Q: What should I look for to ensure the repaired piles remain in good condition?
A: Regularly inspect all piles, especially those not yet repaired, for signs of deterioration, rot, or visible cracks. Be mindful of leaning, unusual sounds, or any other indicators of structural weakness. Early detection can prevent more extensive damage and costly repairs in the future.
