A client hired the services of our firm to investigate the cause of severe cracks along the side of the church walls, floors and the settlement of the wall and foundation. Through our analysis and investigation, we discovered that the church was built at the site of an old landfill. We were able to restore the church by raising and leveling the floors and walls. We used piling to stabilize the building and floors. Through this process we were able to save the client a great deal of money in renovation cost.
