Foundation Repair Solutions
We use different foundation repair solutions depending on the cause of damage, including:
- Wall anchors, which are devices used to secure and stabilize walls that have started to bow or lean in due to pressure
- Wall braces, which reinforce bowed walls or cracks in foundation and consist of steel beams and braces
- Carbon fiber, which is used to reinforce and strengthen foundational concrete
- Foundation piering, which is a system that involves using steel posts to strengthen the home’s foundation by stabilizing underlying soil. Then, hydraulic jacks raise the sunken portions of the home back to their original levels.
Before we move forward with a solution, we will perform a thorough evaluation to determine the best option for you.
