Sometimes, a home’s foundation damage is just too much to try and push back into place.
When resetting the home or foundation isn’t an option, your home more than likely needs partial or even full foundation replacement.
The good news is that most foundations can be replaced without too much invasion into your privacy. Most of the failed foundations are often due to improper support, and not anything related to your home itself.

Even perfectly healthy foundations may need replacing or new foundations based on the home’s needs. If you are building a new addition to your home, expanding certain rooms, or another new construction project, you may need to have your foundation extended as well. Other reasons for foundation replacement is to prevent the home from collapsing or sinking into the soil around itself. When an original foundation wasn’t supported properly, it begins to sag, crack, or even break. The process of expanding or building a new foundation is a relatively simple one, and more often than not, you can continue living and going about your day without interruption.
Partial Foundation Replacement
Partial foundation replacement is the most common form of foundation repairs. Many homes require this type of replacement, especially if any changes are made to the original floor plan. With this type of replacement, only critical sections of the existing foundation slab are removed before being replaced with new concrete. By carefully excavating the cracked or damaged slab sections, we can pour a new area that will last.
This replacement option is ideal if only a small section of your foundation has become cracked, or a small new section needs to be tacked on to the existing foundation for home renovation needs.
Complete Foundation Replacement
Total foundation replacement is usually the professionally recommended method of repairs. Even the best partial foundation pours may settle differently from the original foundation, which could lead to issues later on. If it appears that your home may not settle into its new foundation portion correctly, or we are unable to reinforce the new section like the original, we may need to replace the entire foundation. The process is relatively the same as a partial replacement. By keeping the weight of the home balanced, we can begin to remove and repour a brand-new foundation that will settle cohesively.
What Causes Foundation Issues?
Foundation problems almost always have the same core causes: either the builder failed to reinforce the slab properly, or Mother Nature has stepped in.This could be from intense home shifting from a major storm, high pressure from tornadoes, earthquakes, or even changes in the groundwater under your home. Whether your home moved too much or is sinking, it must be addressed.
