What Is Foundation Settling?
Not all foundation settling is a sign of a bigger problem. But It’s important to investigate the problem to ensure the cause. Hairline cracks can be a sign of a small amount of movement. It’s important to keep an eye out for more movement and other signs of issues. When you start to notice larger drywall cracks, uneven floors or windows and doors sticking or improperly closing it might be time to call a foundation repair expert. Foundation issues can be easily fixed. But when left unattended they can become costly.
When Is The Right Time To Fix Your Foundation?
When is the right time to fix your foundation? Stabilizing your foundation from further damage is key. When you start to notice movement, cracking, sticking windows and doors, tile breaking, uneven floors its time to devise a repair plan. Foundation issues left alone will not fix themselves and can lead to costly repairs. Such as, roofing, interior finishes and plumbing
Where Does Foundation Repair Happen?
The process of fixing your foundation settling issues typically takes place on the exterior of the home but can be done from the interior. We will walk you through the entire repair process to determine what repair will fit your needs the best.
Why Repair My Foundation?
A typical house in Kansas City can weigh as much as 550,000 pounds. Soils in the Kansas City metro areas are mainly composed of high clay content. This poses issues with drainage and foundation stability issues. When our clay soils get wet they expand at a rapid rate, on the reverse side, when the soil dries out it dries at a more rapid rate causing the soil to sink below the footing. This causes the foundation to settle.
Our Piers:
Most foundation repair companies use steel piers. You’ll hear the same speech over and over again. “Our pier is better because X, Y and Z”. When you fix your foundation and it fails, what causes the failure? The pier? Sometimes. But the main cause of failure in foundation repair piering isn’t necessarily the pier itself. It’s the installation of the pier. Our team of foundation repair experts take pride in their work. This isn’t just a job for them. It’s their career. What does it take to install the pier correctly? The main thing is accountability. When we install piers we document every step of the installation. Each pier is perfectly spaced, started correctly, then is driven to bedrock or load barring strata. We use a high quality steel pier designed by a team of engineering professionals that has gone through a multitude of testing.
