We are a team of experienced professionals specializing in foundation repair and waterproofing. We have the tools and knowledge to give you top quality waterproofing and foundation repairs. Besides water, there is 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

If your home's foundation begins to settle, we provide underpinning services with steel push piers or helical piers, which we can install. These piers will anchor your home into load bearing soil to support the structure and it will also stabilize and lift the foundation. Some common 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 offer polyjacking services to fill voids left behind by shifting soil. This will lift and stabilize the structure as well.
