➤ Uneven floors :– Irregular floors often happen because of shifting foundation support.
➤ Sticking doors and windows :– Problems shutting or adjusting doors and windows is a symptom of foundation shift.

Some widely used repair methods are:

◉ Foundation Leveling Services
Due to various factors, foundation shifting can result in uneven floors and problems. Home foundation leveling is a process that corrects your foundation to its proper height and secures structural integrity.
Our foundation correction techniques feature:
➤ Concrete lifting with mudjacking :– This process requires pumping a slurry beneath the slab to elevate and secure the foundation.
➤ Using piers for stability :– We use screw-in or hydraulic piers to support foundations suffering from soil instability.
➤ Shimming for pier & beam foundations :– This technique fixes uneven floors by adjusting joists beneath the home.
◉ Fixing Pier and Beam Foundations
Many properties and some modern constructions utilize pier and beam structural systems. While these base systems offer flexibility, they can develop moisture decay, movement, and structural dips.
Signs of pier & beam damage:
➤ Deteriorating wooden beams :– Water damage can compromise the wooden posts.
➤ Unstable foundation piers :– Ground movement may lead to pier displacement.
➤ Weak or flexing flooring :– Structural wear can result in a bouncy or sagging floor.
Our expert pier & beam solutions feature securing or upgrading wooden beams, adding additional piers, and improving proper water management to stop moisture-related damage.
