We Provide Solutions for All Types of Foundation Repairs
To save time and money, it is important to act fast when you start noticing one or more of the following foundation issues of your building:
Foundation Cracks
It’s normal for your foundation to shift a little and develop small cracks over time. However, if you start noticing gaps in the foundation or on the exterior walls of your basement it could be a sign of a more serious issue.
Foundation Settling or Sinking
If you believe your property may be sinking, or you are experiencing settlement issues, it’s time to seek professional help. Our concreters may need to lift your foundation or install foundation piers to stabilize the structure.
Stuck Windows or Doors
When you can no longer close or open your doors or windows properly, this could mean your foundation is damaged. Our concreters will assess the underlying problem and provide a solution.
Uneven Floors
When the floors of your house or business property start to appear uneven or are slightly dipping, contact our qualified foundation repair contractors as soon as possible. Uneven floors can become dangerous and threaten the safety of your family or employees.
How Long Do Foundation Crack Repairs Take?
In general, simple crack repairs that involve injecting epoxy or polyurethane foam into small to moderate cracks can often be completed in a matter of hours to a day. The same can’t be said for more complex repairs, though. These sorts of repairs might require excavation, structural reinforcement, or extensive waterproofing measures. As a result, they may take several days to complete.
Basement Waterproofing Services
When it comes to protecting your foundation, basement waterproofing makes a world of difference. Our foundation contractors specialize in waterproofing solutions, including waterproofing membranes. We typically apply these membranes to the outside of your foundation walls to prevent water intrusion. They’re made from materials like asphalt, rubberized asphalt, or polyethylene for longevity and added effectiveness.
We might also recommend sealants. We brush, spray, or roll these liquid-applied sealants onto your basement walls' interior or exterior surfaces to create a fully waterproof barrier. The work might see us using cement coatings, acrylic coatings, and elastomeric coatings.
Are Leaky Basements Related to Foundation Damage?
Leaky basements are often related to foundation damage. Cracks in foundation walls allow for water to seep into the basement, leading to moisture issues and potential flooding that can exacerbate issues further. Foundation settlement can also create gaps and cracks in the basement walls or floor, disrupting waterproofing systems and allowing water penetration.
Can You Stay in Your Home During Foundation Repair Services?
Foundation repair services can cost a lot of money if you factor in the cost of temporary living accommodations. Thankfully, you won’t always need to leave the house just because we’re repairing your property’s foundation.
The ability to stay at home during foundation repair services hinges on the specifics of the repairs and the advice given by our foundation repair technician. For less intrusive repairs, such as exterior or basement work, remaining at home may be manageable. That said, extensive repairs like structural adjustments or underpinning might necessitate temporary relocation to ensure safety and facilitate efficient completion.
