Foundation Settlement
Don’t Let Foundation Problems Sink Your Home
At Crackology, we understand the stress and disruption caused by foundation settlement in your home. As experts in foundation repair and waterproofing, our team is committed to providing effective, long-lasting solutions to stabilize your foundation and protect your home from further damage.
What is Foundation Settlement?
Foundation settlement occurs when the soil beneath a structure shifts or compresses, causing the foundation to sink, crack, or tilt. This is a common issue in homes across a variety of climates and soil conditions. Foundation settlement can result in significant structural problems, such as cracks in walls, floors, or ceilings, uneven floors or doors that won’t close properly, gaps around windows or doors, leaning or tilting of the structure, and dampness or water seepage in the basement. If left unchecked, foundation settlement can lead to costly repairs and even compromise the safety of your home. At Crackology, we specialize in diagnosing and treating foundation settlement before it escalates into a bigger problem.
Signs of Foundation Settlement
How do you know if your home is experiencing foundation settlement? There are several common signs to look for. You may notice cracks in your foundation, either small hairline cracks or larger gaps. Uneven floors are another indication, such as floors that slope or become uneven over time. Doors and windows may become difficult to open or close, and you might see gaps forming around them. Increased moisture in your basement or crawl space could also be a sign of compromised foundation. Additionally, walls may begin to lean or bulge, and floors may visibly slope.
How Crackology Can Help
At Crackology, we take a systematic approach to diagnosing and solving foundation settlement issues. We start with a thorough inspection of your property to look for signs of foundation damage, including cracks, shifting, and moisture issues. Our team uses the latest technology, such as laser leveling tools and soil testing, to accurately assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action.
Based on our assessment, we develop a customized repair plan tailored to your specific needs. Whether the issue is caused by soil instability, poor drainage, or another factor, we provide targeted solutions to stabilize your foundation and prevent future movement. Our expert repair methods include piering systems such as push piers or helical piers, where steel piers are driven deep into stable soil to lift and stabilize the foundation. We also offer slabjacking or polyurethane injection, which involves injecting a specialized foam under the foundation to lift it back into place. Additionally, we use advanced epoxy or polyurethane injection techniques to seal cracks in the foundation, preventing water intrusion and further damage.
In addition to foundation repairs, we offer comprehensive waterproofing services to protect your home from water damage. These solutions include exterior waterproofing, which involves installing drainage systems and waterproof membranes around your foundation, as well as interior drainage systems, such as sump pumps and drainage channels, to divert water away from the foundation.
At Crackology, we stand behind the quality of our work. We offer a lifetime warranty on our foundation repair and waterproofing services, ensuring that your home remains stable and dry for years to come.
