What to Look For :
Signs of Foundation Problems

Foundation problems can sneak up on you, but there are a few telltale signs to watch for:

Outside Your Home:

• Stair-step cracks in brick or mortar

• Gaps around doors and windows

• Cracks in the foundation itself

• Fascia boards pulling away from the roofline
  
  

In the Basement:

• Bowing walls (inward or outward)

• Cracks in the walls

• Water seeping in

• Horizontal, vertical, or diagonal cracks

If you’re seeing any of these issues, it’s time to get a professional involved. We’ll assess the situation and recommend the best solution for your home or business.

Helical Piers: A Long-Term Fix for Foundation Settlement

Helical piers are one of the best ways to permanently stabilize your foundation, and in many cases, they can even bring it back to level. The difference between helical piers and traditional push piers is that helical piers are "screwed" into the ground, which allows for installation in any weather and with minimal disruption to your property.

We offer both square and round shaft helical piers, depending on your foundation's needs:

• Square shaft piers are great for tension (uplift) applications.

• Round shaft piers excel in compression (downward) applications.

Helical piers are strong enough to handle heavy loads, making them a reliable choice for stabilizing your foundation.

Push Piers: For Deep-Soil Support

Push piers, also known as resistance piers, are another excellent option for stabilizing and lifting weak foundations. These piers are driven deep into the ground to reach stable soil, providing long-lasting support for commercial buildings, brick structures, and residential homes.

We exclusively use the Earth Contact Products (ECP) Steel Push Pier System, known for its strength and ability to close cracks and restore foundation levels. The PPB-350 pier system is our go-to for heavy-duty foundation support, designed to handle even the most challenging cases.
