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. Their set up time is fast and they work well at fixing sinking properties.
Bowed Walls
Bowed walls are a common problem for homes that recieve an abnormal amount of water in the yard. Often times, leaning basement walls are caused from hydrostatic pressure. 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.
Eventually, the wall(s) will be pushed into your home. 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. Cracks in your basement are unsightly and can cause a lot of problems. Most often, this problem is caused from concrete shrinkage in the foundation or from a rising and falling water table outside your home.
To fix the problem, we make use of a urethane injection technique that will fill the cracks from the soil to the surface so that they won't ever be able to let water inside.
