When a foundation in a residential or commercial property experiences damage, it can lead to serious problems, including cracks, bowing walls, and even structural instability.

Common Causes of Foundation Damage

Soil Erosion: Changes in soil composition or erosion can cause the foundation to settle unevenly.
Hydrostatic Pressure: Groundwater can exert pressure on the foundation, causing it to bow or crack.
Tree Roots: Tree roots can grow into the foundation and cause damage.
Poor Construction: Inadequate construction techniques or materials can lead to foundation problems over time.
Shrink-Swell Soil: Soils that expand and contract significantly due to moisture changes can put stress on the foundation.

Signs of Foundation Damage

Cracks: Cracks in the foundation walls, floors, or ceilings can be a sign of underlying damage.
Sloping Floors: Uneven floors can indicate foundation settlement.
Sticking Doors and Windows: Difficulty opening or closing doors and windows may be a sign of foundation issues.
Gaps Around Door and Window Frames: Gaps may appear between the frames and the walls.
Water Intrusion: Water leaking into the basement or crawlspace could be a sign of foundation damage.

Foundation Repair Techniques

Underpinning: This involves installing additional support beneath the foundation to strengthen it and prevent further settlement.
Piering: Piers are driven into the ground beneath the foundation to provide additional support and lift the structure.
Helical Piles: These are long, threaded steel piles that are driven into the ground to provide support and stabilize the foundation.
Carbon Fiber Reinforcement: Carbon fiber straps can be applied to the exterior of the foundation to strengthen it and prevent further damage.
Crack Injection: Epoxy or polyurethane can be injected into cracks to seal them and prevent water infiltration.
