Foundation repair is not something homeowners like to think about. Uncertain how to proceed, often homeowners tend to ignore it and hope that the foundation fixes itself. Foundation problems can be stressful and a potentially costly endeavor, particularly if not done under the direction of a professional contractor or foundation engineer. Foundation Repair is needed when your foundation begins to settle or more laterally. Settling of the foundation can occur after building on expansive clays, compressible or improperly compacted fill soils. This is a process that can take days, or even years to witness. Improper maintenance, landscaping and other issues around the foundation can also create the need for foundation repair.

There are many reasons why the your foundation may be failing. Typical situations such as soil shifting, excssive water / moisture, lack of proper water /moisture and or the integrity of the structure could be the cause.

When Hydrostatic pressure builds up in the soil, or the soils expand with water saturation, over time it can push against your wall and cause bowing. Bowing or a leaning wall can cause serious structural damage in the rest of the home.
