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.
During a detailed inspection of a residential basement, we identified several cracks along the foundation walls. This indicates potential foundational instability that requires immediate attention. The condition of the surrounding wooden beams also showed signs of moisture exposure, signaling the need for thorough drying and reinforcement. Proper drainage solutions will be essential to prevent further damage.
Conducted a thorough assessment of the basement to evaluate potential moisture intrusion and wall integrity. Noted signs of discoloration and previous moisture exposure on concrete surfaces, suggesting necessary intervention for foundational stability. The use of laser levels facilitated accurate measurement and analysis of the structural setup to ensure proper alignment and support.
Our team completed a detailed inspection of the property's exterior, focusing on the drainage system and its proximity to foundational elements. Measurements were taken around critical areas, ensuring that the setup continues to promote effective water runoff. Addressing any potential imbalances is crucial for maintaining the foundation's stability and preventing water-related issues over time.
Our team conducted an inspection of basement walls revealing significant moisture and discoloration. These conditions suggest potential structural vulnerabilities, possibly due to inadequate drainage. Addressing the underlying moisture issues is crucial to preventing further damage and ensuring long-term stability.
Our team completed an essential update under this property, focusing on the crawl space. We reinforced structural elements and ensured proper encapsulation to guard against moisture and enhance support. This improvement will help maintain the integrity of the home for years to come, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings.
Recently conducted a free estimate on the front porch foundation that needs structural repair. The homeowner is aware of the minimum charge, and the job was set up through our messaging platform. This project is priced at approximately $7,000, covering comprehensive foundation adjustments and improvements.
Addressed structural issues in Christina's garage in the 46350 area. The project involved repairing a crack in the garage floor and addressing settlement that led to a bowing foundation wall. This comprehensive solution was executed efficiently, providing stability to prevent future structural problems. The project was completed at an approximate cost of $14,311.
Addressed an issue with unlevel floors caused by settling near the bathroom in the main hallway. Our team focused on reinforcing the joists within an 18-inch crawlspace to restore stability. The client in zip code 46350 requested potential flooring replacement, but our service primarily handled the joist repairs. This essential project was approximately priced at $10,500.
