The problem
Westport property with footer-related structural cracking. Inspection revealed the original footer was undersized for the load above it, the original construction had been built with insufficient foundation support. Over time, the underbuilt footer had compressed and shifted, transmitting movement into the wall above as visible cracking.
How we fixed it
Footer repair and reinforcement. We rebuilt the affected footer section with a much higher-capacity assembly, properly sized for the actual structural load above. Rebar density was significantly increased over the original, and the new footer was tied into the existing foundation in a continuous load path. The wall above stabilized once the underlying support was correct.
