Residents may not always realize when their foundation is unstable. Here are some key signs that signal your home may need professional repair services:

➤ Uneven floors :– Irregular floors often result from shifting structural integrity.
➤ Doors and windows that won’t close properly :– Difficulty shutting or adjusting doors and windows is a sign of foundation shift.
➤ Misaligned door and window frames :– These openings appear when the foundation shifts, causing structural distortion.

◉ Home Foundation Repair Solutions
Our home foundation repair solutions focus on identifying and fixing root structural problems. Whether it's due to ground shifting, moisture problems, or general wear and tear, we provide tailored fixes to strengthen the stability of your home’s foundation.
Some effective techniques include:
➤ Slab foundation repairs :– If your home is built on a slab foundation, we address cracks, sinking areas, and shifting slabs.
➤ Pier installation :– We use strong or durable piers to reinforce and elevate the foundation, stopping further damage.
➤ Soil stabilization :– Expansive soils can result in foundation movement. Our ground reinforcement techniques ensure stability.
◉ Home Foundation Leveling
Due to various factors, foundation shifting can cause misaligned structures and problems. Home foundation leveling is a process that corrects your under slab tunneling foundation to its proper height and ensures stability.
Our leveling methods feature:
➤ Mudjacking :– This process utilizes injecting a grout beneath the slab to lift and secure the foundation.
➤ Piering systems :– We use screw-in or hydraulic piers to lift foundations suffering from soil instability.
➤ Adjusting pier & beam supports :– This technique corrects uneven floors by modifying joists beneath the home.
◉ Restoring Your Pier & Beam Structure
Older homes and some newer properties have pier & beam foundation. While these structures provide stability, they can experience wood rot, shifting, and sagging floors.
Problems with pier & beam foundations:
➤ Rotting wood supports :– Humidity can harm the lumber support beams.
➤ Shifting piers :– Ground movement may lead to pier displacement.
➤ Weak or flexing flooring :– Aging beams can lead to a bouncy or sagging floor.
Our pier & beam foundation repair include reinforcing or replacing wooden beams, placing additional piers, and improving proper water management to stop moisture-related damage.
