Our process
First things first. When you call us with a foundation problem we set up an appointment that works with your schedule to thoroughly inspect the interior and exterior of your home or business. This helps determine the cause of the structural issues and what repair methods are necessary to fix them. We take advantage of many repair methods that zero in on specific problems and provide long-term, warrantied stabilization solutions. As part of our inspection, we produce a detailed estimate, plan, and timetable for repairs (if they are required).
Repairs for cracks
Foundation wall cracks typically start small and appear innocent at first glance. However, they may grow larger and longer in time, leading to wet basements, and much worse, structural problems that require professional service.
Most cases of cracking can be fixed without tearing apart the wall and starting from new with a rebuild. The sooner cracks are repaired, the less likely they will evolve into costly project.
We provide a vast range of solutions for cracking basement walls and floors. It is essential that the correct method is used for the best results. The method used is determined by the size of the crack, whether it’s running vertically or horizontally, and the overall condition of the foundation.
Bowing
A bowing foundation wall can be be both expensive to repair and devastating to occupants if left to continue to tip inward. Be proactive in seeking repair for a bowing wall will likely decrease the chance that a new wall will have to be built from scratch. Repairs also offer long-term stabilization for foundations and prevent further problems.
Bowing is usually the result of impact and pressure from soil and tree roots near the structure. The shifting of soil as it freezes and thaws can cause damage to concrete, stone, and brick basement walls and floors.
In rare cases, a wall is leaning so much that replacement is required. However, in most instances, we install stabilizing braces and anchors to restore the foundation’s strength.
Stabilizing a foundation not only corrects the problem, it safeguards it from future soil shifts, weakening soils, and protruding roots.
Sinking, settling, and uneven floors
A fast sinking floor is an obvious sign that a foundation is failing. Uneven flooring is often the result of a foundation is sinking in its soil. In weakened soil, the structure must be stabilized by giant steel shafts that extend to more stable dirt well below the ground.
Sagging and and uneven floors can also be caused by weakened floor joists and girders, and/or improper spacing of support columns when the structure was constructed.
Besides being a major eyesore, uneven floors are dangerous and could turn catastrophic for inhabitants. We deliver reliable fixes to restore settling foundations at affordable rates.
Inspections
The foundation is considered the most essential component of any structure. If a major issue is present, it may cost thousands of dollars in repairs. Thus, it is suggested that you contact a professional for a complete evaluation if you believe a problem is evident.
Assessments help us make sound determinations on what is causing issues. Armed with this knowledge, we can employ the most effective repair solutions.
Having a foundation inspection performed may prevent problems in the future. Proactively implementing warrantied repairs will often be far less expensive than if you wait for the issue to grow.
