How Do You Rebuild a Foundation?
Our foundation rebuilding services are meticulously designed to tackle specific problems that your home faces. Depending on factors like the cause of existing damage, soil type, and your home’s layout, our approach to foundation repair can significantly vary. Our commitment to excellence and detail means we select the most appropriate and effective method suited to your unique situation.
Here are some common services we provide during our foundation rebuilding services:
- Underpinning: This involves extending the foundation deeper into the ground until it rests on more supportive soil.
- Piering
- Waterproofing: We utilize waterproofing methods to prevent water damage, including the installation of drainage systems around the foundation to keep water away.
Is It Worth Fixing the Foundation of a House?
Repairing your home’s damaged foundation is not just a good way to ensure the immediate safety and integrity of your structure, but it also serves as an investment in the long-term value and safety of your property. A compromised foundation can lead to a variety of problems, including but not limited to uneven floors, cracked walls, and doors that fail to close properly, all of which can significantly detract from your home’s aesthetic appeal and functional efficiency. More importantly, ignoring foundational issues over time can lead to catastrophic structural failures, posing dire risks to those in your home. Timely and professional foundation repair rectifies these issues, restoring stability and safety to your property.
Warning Signs of Serious Foundation Damage
Understanding and recognizing serious foundation problems early on can save you a substantial amount of time, stress, and money. Early detection enables prompt repairs, preventing minor issues from escalating into major, costly repairs or even catastrophic foundation failures that compromise your entire home’s structural integrity.
Here are several warning signs of serious foundation damage:
- Cracks in the floors, walls, or the foundation itself
- Uneven or sagging floors
- Doors and windows that become difficult to open or close
- Gaps between walls, floors, and ceilings or between exterior doors and window frames
- Visible bowing or warping of foundation walls
- Water intrusion in the basement or crawl spaces
