Foundation Repairs for Homes and Businesses

A structure’s foundation is its backbone, providing essential structural support. When a foundation experiences damage, it can lead to serious problems, including cracks, bowing walls, and even structural instability. That’s where our foundation repair services come into play.

Foundation Repair

Foundation repair involves identifying and addressing the underlying causes of foundation damage and restoring the structure to its original condition. Common types of foundation repair include:

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.

Bowing Wall Repair

Bowing walls are a common problem that can occur due to soil pressure, hydrostatic pressure, or foundation settlement. Foundation repair specialists can use various techniques to repair bowing walls, including:

Steel Push Braces: These are installed inside the walls to push them back into alignment.
Carbon Fiber Straps: Strong and lightweight carbon fiber straps can be applied to the exterior of the wall to reinforce it and prevent further bowing.
Wall Pins: Wall pins are inserted into the wall and connected to a steel beam to provide support and stabilize the structure.

Wall Crack Repair

Cracks in foundation walls can be a sign of underlying structural issues. While minor cracks may not require immediate attention, larger or widening cracks should be addressed to prevent further damage. Foundation repair specialists can use various techniques to repair wall cracks, including:

Epoxy Injection: Epoxy is injected into the crack to seal it and prevent water infiltration.
Hydraulic Lifting: This involves using hydraulic jacks to lift the foundation and repair the crack.

Wall Pins

Wall pins are used to reinforce foundation walls and prevent them from bowing or collapsing. They are typically made of steel and are inserted into the wall and connected to a steel beam or other structural element.

Carbon Fiber Straps

Carbon fiber straps are a modern and effective solution for reinforcing foundation walls. These high-strength straps are applied to the exterior of the wall and can help prevent bowing, cracking, and other types of damage.

Crack Stitch

Crack stitching is a technique used to repair hairline cracks in foundation walls. A special epoxy is applied to the crack and then reinforced with a stainless steel wire or mesh.
