5 Warning Signs Your Foundation is Failing

How do you know if you need foundation repair? The best way is to have a professional give it a thorough inspection. But, here's the big tell-tale signs you can look for that indicate foundation settlement or sinking:

Visible Cracks

Are you seeing cracks in your exterior brickwork or concrete? That's a sign your home may be unevenly settling or sinking.

Uneven Floors

Does it feel like your walking up, or down, hill in your own home? Uneven floors are a common symptom of foundation problems.

Floor/Ceiling Gaps

When new gaps appear between where the walls or ceiling meet the floor, you may have a sinking support under the home.

Leaning Walls/Chimneys

Noticed your chimney separating from the house or walls that are leaning? Your foundation may be shifting or sinking.

The Solution to Foundation Problems? A Lifetime Fix.

We don't simply fill cracks or apply patches - we permanently restore your foundation's strength by installing new supports called helical piles. These are then connected to your basement, crawlspace, or slab, levelling your home and completely fixing the problem.

Your Foundation Repair Process (in 5 Easy Steps)

1: Excavation

The first step is to dig access points around your foundation so our team can prepare the area for your repair. 
We take care to minimize soil disturbance and only take what's necessary for the job!

2: Pile Installation

Once prepped, our team installs steel helical piles underneath your existing foundation - deep into firm and supportive soil.
This by-passes any weak conditions and ensures a lasting result.

3: Bracket Install

We then install a specialized bracket that connects the new foundation piles to your existing support.
These are incredibly strong and durable, more than capable of handling demanding loads.

4: Lift & Level

Using hydraulic jacks, we'll carefully lift and level your foundation on the repair brackets.
This helps close cracks, fix slanted floors, and bring everything back into alignment.

5: Replace Soil

After your foundation has been restored to better-than-new strength, we simply replace the excavated soil to remediate the area.
Your foundation headaches are now gone - for good!
