Cracks, water intrusion, crawl space moisture, settlement, etc.
Basement walls are designed to support the downward weight of your home. Unfortunately, these walls are not intended to resist significant lateral pressure produced by hydrostatic pressure and expansive soil.
Over time, this pressure can cause the horizontal seam between rows of concrete blocks to bulge – resulting in bowing or cracking walls.
Foundation crack repair is essential, as damaged walls can lead to serious structural issues and significantly reduce your home’s value.
Are there cracks in your drywall? Do you have doors or windows that stick? These are signs of uneven settling. The most frequent causes of settling are soil erosion and poor soil compaction.
Our skilled team of professionals specializes in foundation leveling near you, diagnosing the cause of uneven settling and providing effective solutions.
When your foundation is unlevel, your home’s structure is pulled in opposing directions. Building components like wooden beams and concrete walls are not designed to bend or stretch, so they begin to twist or warp.
As the wooden components of your home shift, they also move the window and door frames, causing them to stick and crack the drywall.
Stabilizing and supporting your foundation is the first step to fixing these issues.
Erosion and settling are the most common causes of a leaning chimney. As water flows through the soil, it can erode the earth beneath or around your home, leaving your foundation on less stable ground.
We’re a foundation company in your area and can provide expert solutions like installing helical piers to stabilize your chimney and prevent further damage.
Helical piers are the best repair option for a leaning chimney.
