When a Bucyrus, Kansas homeowner noticed their living room wall on the north side was beginning to sink, they knew it was time to call in the experts. Foundation issues like this can quickly escalate if left untreated, causing uneven floors, wall cracks, and structural risks.
At King Piers, we pride ourselves on tackling these challenges head-on with our proven system and crew expertise.
The Challenge
The homeowner was experiencing visible cracks and an uneven living room floor due to the sinking wall. Because the problem stemmed from foundation settlement in the crawl space, the solution required structural reinforcement at the footing level.

The King Piers Solution
Our crew, led by Cooper, stepped in to make this home King Pier Strong. Here’s how we approached the project:
- Installed six new footings in the basement crawl space to stabilize the foundation.
- Repaired cracks with mortar, leaving a clean and finished look to the walls.
- Added steel I-beams for reinforcement and long-term support.
- Saw-cut the footings to install a 6×6 support beam, which leveled the living room floor.
Rain or shine, our team ensures every project is completed with precision, safety, and durability in mind.
