Does your foundation have cracks? Your home is likely experiencing foundation settlement. Fixing foundations with cracks can be done in a few different ways. Depending on the type of cracks that you have in your foundation, the repair method can be different. The best method of foundation repair will be determined upon inspection.
A settling foundation can happen for many reasons. Unfortunately, many of these reasons are natural occurrences that happen over time. Weather patterns, soil moisture content, the slope of your property, and soil makeup all play a crucial part in your foundation’s health. By inspecting your property and foundation, our highly-trained experts will be able to come up with a plan to permanently restore your foundation with the following solutions.
Methods for Fixing Foundations with Cracks:
Steel Push Piers
Steel push piers are one method of foundation repair. These engineered piers are designed to handle heavy structural loads and stabilize foundations. Push piers are strong, galvanized steel tubes are hydraulically driven into the soil until they reach suitable, load-bearing strata. The installation process is quick and effective.
Helical Tiebacks
Helical tiebacks are another form of foundation repair. Tiebacks support and stabilize bowing or leaning walls. If you have horizontal cracks in your foundation, we will need to utilize helical tiebacks in order to carefully restore your leaning wall back to its original position.
