Foundation Settlement Repair

Sinking FoundationWhen it comes to foundation settlement repair, our team will be able to install foundation piers – helical piers and push piers. These foundation piers were specially-designed to be durable, stable, and will provide the support needed to raise your IL, IA, or MO home back to where it needs to be. The warning signs of a sinking foundation may not be very noticeable at first. You may see a crack in the foundation at first, but over time, the damage will become much more serious. This is why it’s so important to contact us when you notice any kind of problem with the structural integrity of your home. If you wait too long to take care of your sinking foundation, you’re going to have an expensive repair job on your hands which could have been easily avoided.

Our helical piers and push piers will be pushed deep into the earth, into stable, load-bearing strata. The weight of your home will be transferred to these piers which will apply the pressure needed to effectively lift your home back up to where it needs to be. Your sinking foundation will be a thing of the past! After the installation is finished, our foundation repair crew will be sure to clean up the work area so that you don’t have to worry about any mess. Also, we will be sure to not destroy or damage your lawn or any of your landscaping during the installation process. We believe that this is something that sets us apart from other foundation repair contractors in the area.
