Signs Your Foundation Needs Repairs
If you suspect that your foundation may need repairs, here are six of the most common signs to look for.
Benefits of a strong foundation
Without a strong foundation, everything above ground level is compromised. Protecting and stabilizing your foundation is one of the best investments you can make to protect your home and family.
Protect your property value

Solutions for your Foundation Needs
Today’s engineering technology and innovative products provide several solutions to repair and support failing foundations. Each system is used for specific scenarios depending on the age, location, and structural materials used in your home.
Our helical pier system is engineered and made in America by a company called Grip Tite. This deep foundation support system is used in areas with weak or unstable soil.
The system consists of a steel shaft with helical-shaped plates, similar to a large screw, that are drilled into the ground beneath the foundation. The plates provide resistance and support to distribute the weight of the building and prevent settling. Helical piers can be used to support new construction projects or to lift and stabilize existing structures.
This system can be installed quickly and adjusted in the future to provide precise support to the foundation.
If the stability of your basement wall is threatened by excessive pressure from outside soils, our force beam might be the best option.
This begins by installing W4-13 steel vertical I-beams against the foundation wall, inside your basement. They can have 1000 lbs. of active resistance by using a large spring mounted to the top of the I-beam.
This can be an effective solution for stabilizing and reinforcing foundation walls, preventing further damage, and ensuring the long-term stability of the foundation.
Dead man anchors use steel rods driven through the foundation and into the surrounding soil. Those anchors are attached to steel plates buried outside and anchors to support the foundation walls.
This may include limited disruption to landscaping and the yard, and there is less intrusion on the interior of the home.
Dead man anchors offer the option of straightening the wall back to or close to its original position. This requires a full excavation of the exterior of the wall.
A Carbon Fiber Wall Support System from Structural Reinforcement Solutions is designed to reinforce and stabilize foundation walls that are showing signs of damage or weakness.
The carbon fiber wall straps are applied to the interior surface of the foundation wall using a high-strength epoxy adhesive. The straps are lightweight, yet incredibly strong, and can provide structural reinforcement to the foundation wall.
A push pier is a deep foundation support product similar to a helical pile. They work by using a hydraulic jack to drive steel piles into the ground until the structure starts to rise.
