Trees and Your Foundation

When you first move to a new home, you may not give much thought to the trees in the area. You’ll want to take those trees into account, though, if you want to keep your home’s foundation healthy. Tree roots, as it turns out, can have increasingly detrimental impacts on your home’s foundation. How do […]

Foundation Soils

If you’ve seen cracks in your foundation walls or floors, have bowing or buckling walls, or are dealing with uneven floors, your first instinct is to blame the foundation and the way it was built. However, the real cause of the issue may not actually be your foundation, but the soils around it. When a […]

Drought

What is foundation settlement? Simply stated, the settlement is the movement your home experiences when the soil below can no longer support the weight of your home. Homeowners often ask, “Well, the soil has supported my home for years without problems so what has changed?” The answer is… drying and shrinking of soil! After many […]

Wall Anchor System

Basement Wall Anchors are designed to repair walls that are sliding inwards, tilting at the top, bowing, and buckling. These wall anchors are made of galvanized steel for a long-lasting solution that will prevent any further inward movement of your walls. Wall anchors work by extending from your wall to the stable, hard-packed soil beyond […]

Carbon Fiber Wall Reinforcing System

The Carbon Fiber Wall Reinforcing System is a state-of-the-art solution for bowing and cracking foundation walls. Using the same technology the Army Corps of Engineers developed to reinforce bomb shelters, skyscrapers, and bridges, we use Carbon Fiber to stabilize your basement walls. These strips are made from a fiber-reinforced polymer that’s 10 times stronger than […]

Slab Piers

Slab piers are push piers designed specifically to stabilize and (in some cases) raise slabs that have settled. This type of pier is driven into the soil in the settlement area, deep enough to connect the slab to stable, load-bearing soil or bedrock. The helical blades anchor to the soil as the pier is essentially […]

Push Piers

These rugged steel push piers feature a patent-pending external sleeve that strengthens the pier at the critical tension point below the bracket. Push piers are installed next to the footings and attached with a heavy duty steel bracket. Soil is backfilled around the piers once stabilization and lifting is complete to finish the installation. This […]

Helical Piers

A helical pier owes its name to the helical plates welded to the pier shaft. These plates help to pull the pier into the soil during installation, and provide anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation or structural element is transferred to the pier. Additional sections can be added to the pier until it […]
