We Treat Your Home Like Our Own
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 block to bulge – resulting in bowing or cracking walls. Since basement walls are integral to a structure’s stability, a damaged wall can cause serious issues for your foundation and greatly decrease your home’s value.
Are there cracks in your drywall? Do you have doors or windows that stick? These are indications of uneven settling. The most common causes of uneven settling are soil erosion and poor soil compaction. Our skilled team of professionals can diagnose the cause and provide a solution.
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 warp, they move the window and door frames. Once the frame shifts in place, it prevents your door or window from moving smoothly, and cracks the drywall.
To fix this uneven settling, you need to stabilize and support the foundation that is settling too quickly.
Erosion and Settling are the most common causes for a leaning chimney. As water flows through soil, it can cause the earth beneath or around your home to erode, leaving your foundation on less stable ground.
Helical piers are the best repair option for a leaning chimney.
