SUBSIDENCE
DEFINITION: Subsidence - The sinking down of land resulting from natural shifts or human activity, frequently causing structural damage to buildings in the form of Foundation Cracks, Concrete Cracking, Doors and Windows Sticking, Wall cracks, and other problems.
STOP the damaging effects of foundation settling! A shifting foundation may result in structural damage to your home and a loss of your investment.
WE HAVE THE SOLUTION TO YOUR FOUNDATION PROBLEMS
Building Foundation Repair
Our foundation support systems utilize end-bearing helical anchors, installed per engineered specifications. This innovative approach offers a superior and cost-effective alternative to other stabilization methods.
The concept is founded on the principle of turning a screw anchor into stable soils, then attaching adjustable brackets to the base of your foundation thereby transferring the weight of your home to the screw anchors. In the process, foundations, walls, and floors are repositioned, and restrained from further movement.
Screw anchors can be used in a myriad of applications from the underpinning of structures; tie-backs for lateral wall or slope support; to alleviating soil subsidence problems.
Foundation Lifting and Leveling
Along with limited access capability, our method eliminates much of the unnecessary damage created by other forms of underpinning by producing far less disruption and distress during the installation process.
