Modern repair and restoration methods can often return full functionality and eliminate signs of foundation problems. We are experienced in commercial and industrial settings, including buildings, utility installations, oil rigs, and pipelines.
Foundations become damaged and lose stability, usually because of poor soil conditions. Our area has many loamy and silty soils that do not fare well over time, bearing a load of foundation materials, walls, and roofs.
Our area also has many distinct soil types, often underlying the same structure. Soil movement often happens as soils lose their ability to bear a structure’s weight, leading to sinking, foundation damage, and instability. Settling does not occur uniformly throughout a building’s entire foundation, many times resulting in extreme pressure and stress on the foundation.
Commercial foundation repair involves a broad spectrum of repair methods. The size and scope of a project’s needs are based on a complete inspection and testing. Standard repair options include pier underpinning, filling voids with industrial polyurethane materials, and crack repair using carbon fiber materials.
We use the Stabilipier™ Foundation Repair System, the most advanced engineering, to repair unstable, cracked, or damaged foundations. The system is designed to attain maximum pier depth, which is the key to strength, stability, and soundness. We utilize concrete and steel systems designed to be effective in any type of soil and at any depth to achieve stability. While most companies attempt to utilize one system in all types of soil with any type of structure, each system should be utilized appropriately. Companies that use only one system rarely can maximize the effectiveness of repairs. Engineers and Certified Foundation Repair Specialists understand each repair method’s intricacies and can judge the appropriate repair method needed for your particular problem.
The piers used in the Stabilipier™ Foundation Repair System are designed to avoid the curving and instability present with many other commonly used repair methods. The system also has a much smaller installation footprint than systems that use large trenching machines and heavy equipment that cause landscaping damage and take up much more space during the work.
If you have noticed sloped or cracked floors, cracked or damaged drywall, or doors and window frames that are out of square and do not open and close properly, your building’s foundation needs a professional inspection.
