4 Foundation Repair Techniques

1.       Wall Anchors:

Wall anchors counteract the pressure that the soil is exerting on your foundation walls. Basically, one metal plate is installed on your foundation wall and another one is placed underground in your yard. Then, there is a threaded rod that connects the two which, in many cases, can fully straighten your wall to its original position.

2.       IntelliBraces:

Wall anchors are great, except for when your property line disagrees! In such cases, we use IntelliBraces. These are steel i-beams that’ll stabilize your foundation walls. No outside installation is necessary and it’s all within the home. These IntelliBraces are excellent for stabilizing your home however, they aren’t meant to straighten your walls. These braces will stop further damage to your foundation.

3.       Foundation Piers:

We offer three main types of piers: push, helical and slab. They all create the same end result but how they are designed are slightly different. Sometimes when a house or other structure is built on soil that can’t withhold great amounts of pressure, the structure will begin to sink downward. Piers were designed to transfer the structure’s weight to more sturdy soil that can withhold a significant amount weight.

4.       IntelliJacks:

These jacks are made to support the beams of a home’s crawlspace. The IntelliJacks can be tightened over time to keep the floor beams stabilized. They can also straighten slopping floors, level out door frames and correct cracking walls.
