Homeowners may not always recognize when their foundation is unstable. Here are some key symptoms that suggest your home may need professional attention:
➤ Wall and ceiling cracks :– If you see stair-step cracks, it may indicate foundation movement.
➤ Uneven floors :– Tilted floors often result from shifting structural integrity.
➤ Doors and windows that won’t close properly :– Difficulty opening or closing doors and windows is a symptom of foundation shift.
➤ Misaligned door and window frames :– These gaps form when the foundation moves, causing frame misalignment.
➤ Water pooling around the foundation – Standing water can result in foundation settlement.

◉ Home Foundation Leveling
Due to various factors, foundation settlement can lead to uneven floors and structural concerns. Home foundation leveling is a process that rebalances your foundation to its original state and maintains stability.
Our approaches to leveling include:
➤ Mudjacking :– This process involves applying a concrete mixture beneath the slab to raise and stabilize the foundation.
➤ Using piers for stability :– We use screw-in or push piers to support foundations suffering from soil movement.
➤ Adjusting pier & beam supports :– This technique fixes uneven floors by adjusting joists beneath the home.
◉ Fixing Pier and Beam Foundations
Older homes as well as some modern constructions have pier & beam foundation. While these structures offer access, they can experience moisture decay, shifting, and structural dips.
Signs of pier & beam damage:
➤ Deteriorating wooden beams :– Water damage can harm the wooden joists.
➤ Unstable foundation piers :– Changes in soil conditions may result in piers shifting.
➤ Sagging or bouncing floors :– Aging beams can cause a bouncy or sagging floor.
Our pier & beam foundation repair feature securing or upgrading wooden beams, adding additional piers, and ensuring proper drainage to stop moisture-related damage.
