- The Average Guys Garage needed some foundation work.
In this video, we follow the foundation team in leveling the concrete slab for the attached garage.
Fortunately, there were no cracks in the brick work and none were added during the leveling process.
Im A foundation repair contractor and from what i saw those men did everything right. Thanks for sharing, Average guy
I’m 16 and I work on foundation repair jobs with my dad and his friends tought job but I’m learning and soon I’ll get to be just like them
I'm a structural/foundation contractor. They seem like they did a good job, but I wonder why they didn't use push piers or helical piers. For anybody having settling issues I'd recommend hiring a soil engineer. Have him do some test boring and give you a complete soil analysis. The system above is probably fine, but I wonder if they did the soils analysis. It can be kind of a big deal. The reason why is because the soil may be different below the max PSI range. There could be a water table that may fluctuate depending on rain levels. Helical piers and push piers will go down until they reach a certain PSI based on the engineers recommendation. Rated helical or push piers can go down 80+ feet. There's also screw piers that I found on CZcams that look intriguing.
Average Guy, what was the cost of this? I'm having 2 quotes this week, similar issues. Not my home yet, just found out from doing an inspection on a home I'm in contract with.
Y not make better foundation & we would not have a problem…..🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔☹️
My Spanish speaking friends, these guys do hard labor and know what they're doing.
So, with lifting the edges, and ultimately the entire slab rising a couple inches, wouldn't there be gaps between the dirt and the slab somewhere in the center of the garage? And wouldn't that be bad if you drove a car into the garage with a gap between the slab and the ground below?
how much is a job like this ?
I would have filled the holes with concrete afterward and dug a trench next to that foundation and put in a perforated drain pipe to get the water out of there forever.

Nice job well done I’ve seen many of these jobs and it’s very interesting to see them lift an entire house like this one thanks for sharing Average guy.
Heavy work for heavy-duty man nice job BTW 👍
here in NYS our foundations have to be 48" below grade (to avoid frost heave)... that's LOTS of digging!
What was the "yellow" machine doing at the first of the video? Thanks for doing this video.
Ive been doing this for 10 years i have a great crew those guys did a good job the slab was great not deep at all ive done houses that i had to dig 4 feet just to get to the slab those are a pain in the butt.
I started doin this about two weeks ago with a new job I got and damn its a killer. Its tough honestly
good work
Eso vergas, Raza ganando dinero limpio, respect 💯
The guys look like they know what they are doing!
Just got this done to my home today! 16 piers! Well worth it!
