Failed Foundation Solution Remedied With Superior Ram Jack Driven Piles
Seattle, WA
On a steep hill on Mercer Island, a homeowner began to see signs of
potential foundation failure. That was when they decided it was time to
call Ram Jack West.
PROBLEM
When a Ram Jack West foundation specialist reviewed the foundation, they
found work had been installed on the home’s foundation previously.
This work appeared to be failing, and the owner stated the company would
not honor its warranty. Thankfully, our Ram Jack team was there to help
save this beautiful home overlooking Lake Washington.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Having assessed the situation, our specialist realized ten (10) Ram Jack
driven piles with 4-foot guide sleeves were necessary to support the foundation
and prevent further damage.
OUTCOME
Ram Jack West’s crew successfully installed all ten (10) driven
piles at an average depth of 16 feet in only three days. The homeowner
could not have been happier with the outcome of the project. They now
have peace of mind as the Ram Jack solution will withstand the lifespan
of their home.
