Depending on the root issue causing foundation problems is what will determine the scope and extent of our repairs. We do not have to touch the foundation at all but fill in where soil has been eroded. If your foundation has become unstable due to cracks or fractures running through the center, we may have to rebuild it altogether. This may require a partial rebuild, or we may have to complexly provide a new foundation.
Home Foundation Inspections
A preliminary inspection helps us do more than just provide an accurate estimate. By searching inside, outside, and even underneath your home, we can best determine what has caused the issue, as well as the extent of the damage. At this point, no repairs may be made. What we can do is take note of your home’s exact repair needs and schedule an expert contractor to fix your issues.
Slapjacking
Slapjacking is a repair technique used for concrete slab foundation types. This is the process used to lift sagging homes, as well as fill in any areas that may have eroded.This method requires us to drill holes in and around the foundation. However, this is filled when we pump in a unique mixture of grout that gives your home a boost. Once the new mixture has been pumped underneath the existing slab, this will raise the home back to its original position. Because the weight of the house is still falling onto the slab itself, there’s no risk of your home sinking back down in the new repair.
Piering
Piering is another common technique that we often use. Utilizing steel rods to force the home back into position, the foundation is then able to be corrected. Piering is an excellent option as it involves little to no damage to your yard. Best of all, it can be done even with people inside of the home.A hydraulic lift keeps the house in place, while the steel rods settle against load-bearing soil or stone underground. Our team may not have to touch the foundation at all!
Repair/Replacement
If a foundation slab is what is causing the problem, then it will need to be addressed. Depending on the severity, this requires a repair to the slab or a partial or complete replacement.In many cases, the repairs are minor and don’t require any interruption to your home. However, in some more severe cases, we may need you to vacate the house while we work for your own safety.
