Usually due to bad drainage, ground movement, subsidence or poor construction your foundation can shift or settle. Your foundation repair problem will usually be noticed when doors that used to open and close start sticking, diagonal cracks appear on walls, or a gap appears between the skirting board and the floor/carpet.

The only way to determine whether you have a problem or not is to define with the help of an experienced foundation repair specialist the cause and solution of the visual defects you see. Early detection, measurement, and analysis may help save you money. Waiting to determine questionable structural defects can cause loss of value to your investment as well as ever increasing damage in need of repair. As soon as you notice a problem, call us, we will set up an appointment to begin evaluating your needs.

FOUNDATION REPAIR

A homes foundation is in direct contact with the ground and joins the buildings structure with the underlying zone of soil or rock. The foundations job is to transfer the structures load to the underlying soil or rock, without excessive settlement or movement.

Movement of the soil beneath a home can severely damage the foundation. That is why the soil beneath a structure is often referred to as a second foundation.

Slab-on-grade foundations are shallow foundations that are often constructed of reinforced concrete. These foundations can be built quickly and inexpensively. The function of a slab foundation is not to resist or limit the amount of heave that might occur beneath a slab, but to move up and down with shrink and heave. These structures do not have basements.

Shallow foundations are susceptible to seasonal movement from rainfall, drought, freeze and thaw cycles, and temperature changes and transpiration of moisture through the roots of large plants and trees.
