Foundation Settlement
Foundation settlement is when the ground underneath compress and the foundation of the home sink into the empty gaps. Signs of this problem include cracks along your foundation, stair cracks on your chimney, or uneven floors in the home where the wall is raised above the flooring.
This is often caused from poor soil compaction during the time when your home was built. This "bad" soil can create empty gaps below your home that it will eventually sink into. To fix this problem, we make use of SafeBasements™ helical and push pier systems. They can be installed fast and are effective.
Bowed Walls
Bowed walls are a common problem for homes that recieve an abnormal amount of water in the yard. This is a common problem that is caused from hydrostatic pressure in the soil surrounding your home. Whenever the soil around your home swells up from moisture, it will put a lot of pressure on the walls on the base of your home.
It will eventually push them inside, but this problem can be fixed easily. To fix the problem, we install wall anchors to provide enough lateral pressure to move your wall back to where it needs to be.
Wall and Floor Cracks
Wall and floor cracks in you foundation. Nobody wants to deal with cracks in the basement, but you have to get them taken care of before they start to let water seep inside. Typically, these openings in the floors and walls are caused from concrete shrinkage, or from hydrostatic pressure being exerted from the soil on your foundation.
When it comes to repairing this issue, we can make use of a urethane injection technique that will seal it off and stop water from getting into your home.
