Digging a new foundation.

Spotting the Signs

Before repairs start, it’s crucial to recognize any foundation issues and possible future problems. This way, you can describe exactly what’s been going on to your foundation repair contractor. Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Cracks on Walls or Floors: Minor cracks may signify hidden issues.
  • Doors or Windows Sticking: If you’re having trouble opening or closing your doors or windows, this could be a warning sign that you have foundation issues.
  • Uneven Floors: Visible sagging or sloping may indicate that your foundation is settling.
  • Separating Ceilings and Floors: Ceilings and floors that are detaching from the walls are clear indicators of foundation issues.
  • Bowing Walls: Walls appearing to lean or bow indicate a need for foundation repairs.

If you notice any of these signs, promptly contact American Standard Foundation Repair for a comprehensive evaluation.

Choosing the Right Team

The next step in preparing your home for foundation repair is to find the right team for the job. American Standard Foundation Repair has earned the title of Best Basement/Foundation/Waterproofing Service Company in the Commercial Appeal’s 2024 Memphis Most Community Choice Awards. Plus, we are backed by more than 18 years of experience, cutting-edge technology, and a team of committed professionals. We work diligently to restore the stability and strength of your home’s foundation.

Communication is Key

As the next step in the repair process, we will thoroughly assess any damage once reaching your home. Below are examples of the topics we will cover with you before we begin the repair process:

    • The Repair Plan: We will assist you in understanding the materials and techniques we will use for your foundation repairs.
    • Set a Timeline: We’ll make sure you’re aware of the project’s timeline and any factors that could impact it.
    • Clarify Costs: We will ensure you understand the expenses and that they are clearly documented and transparent.

    Maintaining open communication with our repair team during this process ensures all expectations are fulfilled.

    Steps to a Smooth Repair Process

    • Clean Exterior Access: Clear away plants, decorative objects, and any blockages near the foundation to create sufficient workspace. If you have a large landscape, think about moving plants temporarily to avoid harming them.
    • Secure Interior Spaces: Safely store delicate items and remove wall decorations, as the repair work may cause minor indoor movement. Protect your furniture with a covering to guard against dust and residue.
    • Ensure Safety for All: Ensure that small children and pets are kept away from work areas to avoid accidents.

    Depending on the repairs being performed, we may need to temporarily shut off water, electricity, and natural gas to your home. Ensure that our team has ample space to work, allowing for complete visibility and mobility. A clean and clear area enables our foundation repair specialists to complete the job more safely and efficiently.

    Retaining Walls Prevent Water Damage and Protect Foundations

    Retaining Walls Prevent Water Damage and Protect Foundations

    Why You May Need a Retaining Wall

    When significant rainfall occurs, an influx of water can create substantial challenges for your property and compromise the integrity of your home’s foundation. In such instances, well-constructed retaining walls are an effective solution to prevent water damage. These structures combine function and design to protect your home while enhancing the look of your landscape.

    Reinforced retaining wall.

    What Are Retaining Walls?

    Retaining walls are strong, resilient structures engineered to hold back soil and efficiently manage water flow on sloped or uneven surfaces. They can be constructed from your choice of long-lasting materials such as concrete, stone, or treated wood. These walls are a literal barrier, preventing soil erosion by directing surface water runoff away from vulnerable areas near your home’s foundation, protecting your property against potential water damage and erosion-related issues. Beyond their functional benefits, retaining walls can also improve the aesthetic appeal of your landscape. 

    How Do Retaining Walls Prevent Water Damage?

    Retaining walls function by channeling water away from your home, preventing it from pooling near your foundation. Here’s how they accomplish this:

    1. Drainage Systems: Retaining walls are typically designed with integrated drainage systems that channel excess water away from your property. 
    2. Soil Stabilization: By holding back soil and creating a stable barrier, retaining walls help prevent soil erosion. This erosion can otherwise expose your foundation to water damage and other harmful processes.
    3. Water Diversion: These sturdy walls channel and regulate the flow of water, acting as a protective barrier for vulnerable areas of your property. This design effectively diminishes hydrostatic pressure on your foundation, ensuring its stability and longevity.

      5 Waterproofing Tips to Prevent Foundation Damage

      5 Waterproofing Tips to Prevent Foundation Damage

      Waterproofing Protects Your Home

      In Memphis, with our fluctuating weather and occasional heavy rains, water damage can cause major damage to your home’s foundation. This includes weakening your home’s structural integrity over time. You can avoid costly repairs by waterproofing your home. Let’s explore how you could end up with foundation failure from water damage, signs of water damage, and how to prevent foundation damage at your home.

      How Water Damage Affects Your Foundation

      Foundation damage can develop quickly in a city known for humidity and storms. Water can enter foundations through cracks, seepage, or inadequate drainage. When water accumulates around the foundation, it can expand and contract with temperature changes, causing structural stress. Over time, this cycle can lead to numerous issues that may affect the stability of your home.

      American Standard team digging under a foundation.

      Signs of Foundation Water Damage

      • Foundation cracks
      • Uneven or sagging floors
      • Bowing walls
      • Pooling water near the foundation
      • Musty odors or mold in the basement or crawlspace
      • Doors and windows with gaps
      • Leaning chimney
      • Wood rot in crawlspace
      • Water in the basement or crawlspace

      The Risks of Ignoring Water Damage

      Water damage can destroy your home’s foundation, lead to mold which can potentially lead to health issues, create pest issues due to cracks and gaps in walls, and significantly reduce your property value. All of these risks can be minimized if water damage is dealt with promptly.

      Prevention Tips to Protect Your Foundation from Water Damage

      • Ensure Proper Drainage: Proper water drainage helps protect your home’s foundation. Drainage is vital for maintaining the integrity of your home. Ensure your gutters and downspouts are free of debris, allowing rainwater to flow freely. It’s vital that this water is directed at least 6 to 10 feet away from your foundation to prevent any potential damage. Additionally, consider installing French drains, which are effective for redirecting water away from critical areas and improving water management around your property.
      • Grade Your Landscape: To protect your home from water damage, it’s essential that the landscaping slopes away from the foundation. This design helps direct rainwater and runoff away, preventing it from pooling near your home’s base. Be sure to adjust the soil grading appropriately, creating a gentle slope that effectively channels water away, protecting your foundation and maintaining the integrity of your property.
      • Seal Foundation Cracks: Repairing small foundation cracks is essential to prevent moisture from infiltrating your crawl space or basement. At American Standard Foundation Repair, we conduct a thorough evaluation of your foundation to identify and assess these cracks. Our team then employs specialized, high-quality products designed to effectively seal the cracks, ensuring long-lasting protection against water intrusion and preserving the integrity of your home.
      • Invest in a Sump Pump: A sump pump is an essential device for preventing water accumulation in your basement or crawl space. It works by automatically removing excess water that can lead to serious damage to your foundation. By keeping these spaces free from water, a sump pump helps protect the integrity of your home and prolong its lifespan.
      • Inspect Regularly: Memphis weather can lead to rapid foundation shifts. Therefore, regular inspections play a crucial role in detecting early signs of water damage, allowing you to prevent costly repairs down the line. When you schedule an annual foundation inspection, you can identify potential issues, before they become substantial problems. Taking proactive measures can save you time, money, and stress in the long run.

      Advanced Leveling for Foundation Repair

      Advanced Leveling for Foundation Repair

      Effective Solutions for Homeowners

      When addressing foundation repair, it’s essential to recognize that not all solutions are identical. At American Standard Foundation Repair, we believe that a durable foundation starts with selecting the appropriate repair method customized to each home’s specific needs. Advanced leveling has emerged as one of the most effective solutions for homeowners seeking more than just a temporary fix. Let’s examine why this method is so effective and why we recommend it when a foundation requires enhanced precision and durability.

      What Exactly Is Advanced Leveling?

      Advanced leveling is an advanced foundation repair technique that goes beyond conventional leveling methods. It employs state-of-the-art technology to achieve precise alignment and stabilization of your home’s foundation. This intricate process typically utilizes hydraulic systems that can adjust and control pressure and strategically positioned piers, which are strong support systems designed to bear the structure’s weight. These piers keep your foundation securely in place, preventing shifts that can cause cracks and other structural issues over time. By ensuring that your foundation remains aligned and stable, advanced leveling helps protect the integrity of your entire home.

      Advanced leveling is often preferred, especially when we observe significant settling, uneven floors, large wall cracks, or any structural movement that could lead to ongoing damage if left unaddressed.

      The Advantages of Advanced Leveling

      When we explain the benefits of advanced leveling to homeowners, we typically highlight these three main advantages.

      • Greater Stability: Advanced leveling offers unmatched stability compared to traditional methods. By installing piers and making precise adjustments with advanced technology, we ensure a long-term solution that can endure seasonal changes, moisture variations, and even severe weather conditions.
      • Precision Adjustments: Advanced leveling enables us to be highly precise when targeting specific areas of your foundation that require lifting or adjustment. We utilize laser technology and real-time monitoring to ensure that each section of your foundation receives the support it needs, ultimately providing an ideal balance for your home.
      • Longevity and Value: Investing in advanced leveling is crucial for the long-term health of your home. It helps prevent future structural problems and maintains your property’s value, making it a smart choice if you plan to sell. Potential buyers appreciate knowing that a home’s foundation has received top-quality care.

      How We Use Advanced Leveling at American Standard Foundation Repair

      Every home’s foundation is unique, so we always begin with a thorough inspection to understand what’s happening beneath the surface. We look for signs of movement, cracking, or water infiltration during this inspection. If we determine that advanced leveling is the best solution, we will guide you through each step of the process.

      Using hydraulic equipment, we install durable steel piers at critical load bearing zones around your home. These piers function like permanent support beams, redistributing your home’s weight and gradually leveling any areas that have shifted over time. We take care to avoid overcorrection, ensuring that the foundation settles into a stable, balanced position.

      One of the most significant benefits of advanced leveling is that it repairs existing damage and helps prevent future issues. Many homeowners we work with have expressed how much peace of mind they gain from knowing that their home’s foundation is stronger and better equipped to withstand the test of time.

      Supplies for advanced leveling.

      When Should You Consider Advanced Leveling?

      • Visible Cracks in Drywall or Brick: If you notice cracks, especially around windows or doors, it could be a sign that your foundation is shifting. These cracks may vary in size and appear horizontally or vertically, often indicating potential structural issues that may need immediate attention.
      • Sloping Floors: Floors that slope or exhibit a noticeable tilt are clear indicators that your foundation is settling unevenly. If not addressed promptly, this uneven settling can lead to further structural issues, so it’s essential to investigate the cause.
      • Windows or Doors Sticking: Windows and doors that struggle to open or close smoothly or are sticking when you try to open or close them can be a warning sign of foundation movement. This issue is especially concerning if it continues over an extended period. 

      Why Trust Us With Your Foundation Repair?

      At American Standard Foundation Repair, we have experience in handling a wide range of foundation challenges. We understand how important it is to have a team that not only knows the mechanics of foundation repair but also takes the time to address each homeowner’s concerns and priorities. When you choose us, you can expect experienced technicians, high-quality materials, and a commitment to doing the job right every time.

      While advanced leveling may not be the easiest or fastest solution, it is worthwhile for homes requiring a thorough and precise fix. Your investment in a solid foundation today will lead to a more comfortable, stable, and valuable home tomorrow.

      How Drought Causes Foundation Problems and How We Can Help

      How Drought Causes Foundation Problems and How We Can Help

      How Drought Causes Foundation Problems

      When we think of drought, we often picture dry landscapes, wilted plants, and water shortages. However, one of the less obvious and often overlooked consequences of drought is its impact on your home’s foundation. In this blog, we will explain how drought can cause foundation problems and, more importantly, how we at American Standard Foundation Repair can help address these issues to keep your home safe and secure.

      The soil beneath your home plays a vital role in supporting its foundation. In areas where the soil has a high clay content, its behavior changes significantly with varying moisture levels. When a drought occurs, the moisture in the soil diminishes, causing it to shrink and create voids or air pockets between the foundation and the ground. This uneven settling can lead to foundation shifting, which may result in visible cracks, misalignment, or other severe structural issues that can compromise the stability of your home. Understanding this relationship between soil and foundation is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your living space.

      American Standard Foundation Repair service truck.

      Common Drought-Related Foundation Issues

      • Cracks in Walls and Floors: As the soil beneath the home contracts, the foundation can shift, resulting in cracks in interior and exterior walls, flooring, and even ceilings.
      • Uneven Floors: Foundation movement can cause uneven, sloping floors, making walking through your home feel like an uphill climb.
      • Doors and Windows Not Closing Properly: A shifting foundation can misalign door and window frames, resulting in them sticking, jamming, or failing to close correctly.
      • Gaps Between Walls and Ceiling/Floor: Gaps can develop at the intersections where walls meet ceilings or floors, serving as clear indicators that your foundation may be shifting or settling.

      These issues may seem minor at first, but without intervention, they can grow into larger, more expensive problems. This is where we can help.

      Why Choose American Standard Foundation Repair?

      When considering foundation repair, it’s crucial to select a company that understands the specific challenges posed by the weather and soil conditions in your area.

      The Importance of a French Drain for Protecting Your Home’s Foundation

      The Importance of a French Drain for Protecting Your Home’s Foundation

      French Drains and Your Home’s Foundation

      When it comes to home maintenance, one of the most critical yet often overlooked aspects is the health of your foundation. Like your roof, your foundation is one of the most critical parts of your home. If your foundation begins to deteriorate, it could lead to substantial and costly issues in the future. A foundation problem can even become dangerous if not repaired right away.

      At American Standard Foundation Repair, we understand that proactive measures are essential to avoid structural issues and other foundation problems. One of the most effective proactive solutions we recommend is ensuring your home has a French drain installed. Let’s explore why French drains are essential and how they prevent foundation issues.

      What Is a French Drain?

      A French drain is a clever drainage system designed to divert water away from your home’s foundation. It consists of a trench filled with gravel or rock and a perforated pipe that collects and redirects excess water. This system helps prevent water buildup, a common cause of foundation problems.

      French drain

      How Does a French Drain Work?

      The concept behind a French drain is simple: water naturally follows the path of least resistance. Installing a French drain creates a clear pathway for water to flow, diverting it away from your home’s foundation. Here is essentially how it works:

      • Collection: The perforated pipe in the trench gathers groundwater and surface water.
      • Channeling: The pipe carries water through the trench, preventing it from seeping into the soil around your foundation.
      • Discharge: The water collected from your home is safely discharged to prevent pooling around the foundation.

      The Importance of a French Drain: Preventing Water Accumulation

      Excessive water around your foundation can lead to structural issues. When the soil around your home becomes saturated with water, it expands and exerts pressure on the foundation walls, causing them to crack and become damaged. If not dealt with, this pressure can lead to severe problems, such as bowing walls and foundation failure. A French drain is effective as it redirects water away from the home’s foundation.

      • Reducing Hydrostatic Pressure: Hydrostatic pressure occurs when water builds up in the soil and exerts force against the foundation walls. Over time, this pressure can cause severe damage, including bowing walls, cracks, and foundation failure. Installing a French drain can reduce hydrostatic pressure and protect your foundation from these risks.
      • Minimizing Soil Erosion: Excess water can erode the soil around your foundation, leading to instability or uneven settling. This erosion can cause parts of your foundation to sink or shift, resulting in cracks and structural issues. A French drain helps maintain the stability of the soil, reducing the risk of erosion and subsequent foundation issues.
      • Protecting Your Home’s Value: If your property has foundation issues, its value is likely to decrease significantly. Prospective buyers are usually cautious when considering a home with foundation problems, knowing that the repairs can be costly and time-consuming. Installing a French drain can help protect your home’s foundation and maintain the value of your investment.

      Signs You Need a French Drain

      • Persistent Wet Spots: Do you notice wet spots that do not seem to dry in your yard? This could indicate poor drainage.
      • Foundation Cracks: Cracks in your foundation walls or floors can be a sign of water-related pressure.
      • Basement Flooding: Frequent basement flooding or even pools of water in your basement are clear signs that you need better drainage.
      • Mold and Mildew: The presence of mold and mildew in your basement or crawl space often results from excessive moisture, which a French drain can help diminish.

      Trust American Standard Foundation Repair to Install Your French Drain

      American Standard Foundation Repair specializes in a wide range of foundation solutions, including installing French drains. Our experienced team is dedicated to protecting your home’s foundation and ensuring its longevity.
