Foundation Repair Solutions in College Park, GA

We offer several foundation repair solutions to take care of the issues in your home. Steel push piers or helical piers can be installed to stabilize sinking and settling foundations. These piers are installed in stable soils to provide support and lift for the foundation. Another solution is pressure grouting, a method by which cement based grout is injected under the foundation to fill spaces and lift the slab. These underpinning solutions are just a few of the service that we provide.

Helical tiebacks can be installed to pull the foundation wall back into place and close wall cracks that have formed due to shifting foundations. These screw-like devices anchor into the ground next to the foundation wall, applying pressure to pull the wall back into place. Carbon fiber strips can also be used to repair bowing walls. These strips are applied to add strength and stabilization for the foundation walls and to close cracks.

We can also use wall encapsulation services to keep your basement or crawlspace dry. This is a method in which a vapor barrier is installed all along the interior surface to prevent water seepage through cracks or through the porous concrete of the foundation walls.
