WHAT TO WATCH FOR

Symptoms of Damage You Shouldn 't Ignore

What Causes Foundation Problems?

Foundation issues can stem from a variety of factors, each bringing its own set of challenges to your home. Knowing these underlying causes is key to preventing damage and tackling problems early and effectively.

Flooding

Excess water from flooding can cause soil erosion and water damage, weakening the foundation's overall stability.

Evaporation

In hot and dry conditions, excessive evaporation can dry out the soil, causing it to shrink and form gaps that put stress on your foundation.

Soil Quality

If the soil wasn 't properly compacted during construction, it can settle unevenly over time, leading to structural shifting and imbalance.

Trees

Large trees planted too close to your home may cause problems, as their roots can grow beneath the foundation and disturb the surrounding soil.

What Causes Foundation Problems?

Helical Piers

Helical piers are steel rods with helical plates that are drilled deep into the ground to provide strong, stable support for a building's foundation.

Crawl Space Jacks

Crawl space jacks reinforce floor joists by adding vertical support, helping to improve stability and level out uneven or sagging areas.

Wall Anchors

Wall anchors use tension between a steel plate inside the wall and an anchor set in the ground outside to straighten and stabilize bowed foundation walls.

End Venting Slider

End venting sliders improve airflow through the crawl space, helping to control moisture levels and prevent decay or mold growth in the foundation.

Beam Systems

Beam systems provide structural support under floors, similar to crawl space jacks, but are designed specifically for use with slab foundations.

Carbon Fiber Wall Reinforcement

Carbon fiber strips are used to reinforce cracked foundation walls, providing a support system that is lightweight, non-invasive, and up to ten times stronger than steel.
