When DIY Isn’t Enough
At Ram Jack Chesapeake, we often work with hands-on, knowledgeable homeowners. One such client—a professional engineer and DIY enthusiast in Anne Arundel County—knew when to call in the pros. His two-story chimney was leaning dangerously, and he recognized it wasn’t a weekend fix.
A Foundation Problem Beneath the Surface
The issue stemmed from a shallow, one-foot-deep foundation built on sandy soil. The instability raised serious structural and safety concerns. After researching solutions, he contacted us. The results, in his words, speak for themselves.
“The choice of Ram Jack was a no-brainer.”
What Made the Difference
It wasn’t just our reputation—it was our technology. He was especially impressed by our helical pile system, which anchors deep into stable soil layers. Unlike surface-level fixes, this system bypasses shifting ground. He called it “ingenious.” We agree.
More Than Tools—It’s the Process
We assigned a dedicated project manager to oversee every step. From engineering plans and permits to execution and follow-up, we managed the entire process—on schedule and without surprises.
“They dealt with the permit hell of Anne Arundel County… and kept everything moving.”
Clean Work. Clear Communication.
We know foundation repair can disrupt your routine, so we prioritize professionalism and cleanliness. This homeowner noticed.
“They left the site clean, and all evaluations were performed.”
Results That Hold Up
Six months after the repair—and even after a week of torrential rain—the chimney hasn’t shifted. That’s the kind of outcome we aim for every time.
Honest Guidance Beyond the Job
The homeowner also asked us to inspect a second structure. Our project manager offered an honest evaluation: the foundation had cracks, but it wasn’t urgent. She advised what to monitor moving forward—no pressure, no upsell.
Built on Trust
At Ram Jack Chesapeake, we deliver long-term solutions, not quick fixes. We lead with integrity, skill, and service.
“I’m very satisfied with the quality and professionalism of the entire process of working with Ram Jack Chesapeake.”
