If you happen to notice these problems in or around your home it may be time to call us here at Pierman Foundation Repair Services, because these issues can be signs of even more serious foundation failure, or can lead to even more serious foundation failure in the future, if not taken care of. Pierman Foundation Repair Services is a team of experienced professionals that specializes in foundation repair and waterproofing. If you notice these signs of foundation failure and are wondering how they may have affected your home in the first place, there are a variety of factors that can lead to foundation failure, including:

  • Hydrostatic pressure: If the soil around your home absorbs a large amount of water due to severe rain, the hydrostatic pressure in the soil will increase, causing the foundation to shift or crack.
  • Soil shrinkage: The shrinking of soil due to dry, drought-like conditions can also cause foundation sinking and void formation, as the soil moves and shifts to create spaces.
  • Poor soil compaction: If the soil beneath your home was poorly compacted at the time it was built, it will settle over time on its own, taking the foundation of your home with it.
  • Soil erosion: Excess water can also lead to erosion, which washes away soil beneath and around the home to form voids and spaces; these voids can't support your home's foundation, and it begins to settle as a result.

If your home's foundation is beginning to sink or settle, we also offer underpinning services. This process involves installing steel push piers or helical piers, depending on your foundation's specific situation. These will be installed in order to anchor your home into load bearing soil to support the structure. It will also stabilize and lift the foundation back into its original position. Some other common foundation failure problems such as shifting or cracking foundations may require helical tiebacks to pull the foundation back into place. This will help to repair bowing or leaning foundation walls, another common foundation failure problem. We also provide polyjacking services to fill voids beneath your home's foundation, which will lift and stabilize the structure. We are proud to say that we use the products from Earth Contact Products which produces top quality foundation repair supplies.
