Our approaches to leveling include:
➤ Mudjacking :– This process utilizes applying a slurry beneath the slab to raise and stabilize the foundation.
➤ Using piers for stability :– We use adjustable or push piers to lift foundations suffering from under slab tunneling soil movement.
➤ Shimming for pier & beam foundations :– This technique corrects foundation misalignment by reinforcing joists beneath the home.
◉ Restoring Your Pier & Beam Structure
Many properties along with some recent builds utilize pier & beam foundation. While these foundations provide stability, they can suffer from moisture decay, movement, and sagging floors.
Common pier & beam issues:
➤ Deteriorating wooden beams :– Humidity can weaken the timber posts.
➤ Shifting piers :– Ground movement may result in piers shifting.
➤ Sagging or bouncing floors :– Aging beams can lead to floor movement.
Our expert pier & beam solutions include reinforcing or replacing wooden beams, installing additional piers, and providing proper drainage to stop moisture-related damage.
