FOUNDATION REPAIR

Quality Foundation Repair For The Homes of Southeast Michigan

At Foundation Restoration our crew specializes in providing long-lasting foundation repair service for the homes of Southeast Michigan. Many first time homeowners do not realize the important role an effective foundation system is to the structural integrity of the house. When your foundation is crumbling, the rest of the house will also feel the effects. 

Unlike other foundation repair companies in the area, our team is skilled and equipped to handle interior and exterior repairs. Every home comes with a different set of problems and often those issues stem from the foundation. Our foundation repair crew can quickly assess the state of decay to determine the best course of action.

When to Call for Foundation Repair

Although most people do not often think about the foundation of their homes, the effects of a faulty foundation are everywhere. Here are some common problems that can be fixed with foundation repairs:

  • Masonry cracks– this is caused by foundation settlement. When you start to notice stair-like crack patterns on your walls, your foundation needs repairs 
  • Titling Chimney– If your home has a chimney that is out of alignment, this is caused by shifting soil underneath. Our team can correct this and any damages your chimney acquired while it was tilting. 
  • Sticking doors and windows– its not uncommon for doors and windows to stick a little bit in the summer heat but when they are consistently difficult to open, this is due to the foundation changing the structure of your house. 
  • Wall cracks throughout the house– a couple of cracks are normal as a house settles but when they start to show up in all the rooms, especially around the windows and doors, this is usually an indicator that the foundation needs repairs
  • Unlevel floors – uneven floors are typical in the older homes of Southeast Michigan but should not be ignored. Always best to call in an expert to assess if more proactive measures should be taken.

The Foundation Repair Process

One of the best ways to repair your foundation is by utilizing the services of a professional foundation repair company. While caulking cracks may be a quick fix, the effects will be temporary. Our team of experts can let you know what the best course of action is to restore your home’s foundation. One of the ways we often do this is with helical piers.

Helical piers are much like a large screw, they are drilled deep into the ground to stabilize the soil. Once the pier has be positioned a bracket is placed on top of the pier and fastened to the footing. Hydraulic lift cylinders are then installed and the process of lifting the foundation starts. Once the allowed amount of lift has been achieved, the hydraulics are removed.

At this point the structure is stable and the piers can be buried. This whole process is generally completed in a few days and comes with a transferable lifetime warranty.

What Causes Foundation Damage?

Most of the time foundation repairs are part of the maintenance that comes with owning an older home. However, there are some other factors that can cause premature deterioration:

Sand-rich soils- not ground in Southeast Michigan are created equal. Parts of the state that are close to bodies of water often contain soil with high sand content. Instead of being absorbed like a typical soil, water can easily slip through the sand and make its way into a foundation. 

Clay-rich soils- foundations that are constructed on soils that are high in clay content have the most potential for foundation failure. When the clay absorbs water it will expand, causing everything around it to shift. When soil shifts so does your foundation.
