Though temperatures may change between seasons, rain falls year round. The town receives about 52 inches of rain every year.

Though the towns weather is generally enjoyed by those who live there and who are visiting, it can sometimes cause some problems for the businesses in the area. That’s where we come in. Atlas Piers is your premier provider of commercial foundation repair in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. We’re here to help with all of you foundation issues.

When temperatures vary, the ground expands and compacts. This process can weaken the soils. When a building is built, it is constructed on top of this ground as support. When these soils lose their original strength, they begin to sink or settle. The structure built on this ground may begin to do the same. This process is called foundation settlement, and there are some key signs that it is happening to your business. Your doors and windows will become misaligned, and your floors and walls will crack. Rain can cause similar issues. As the ground around your business becomes saturated, it places hydrostatic pressure on your business’ foundation. When your area receives a lot of rain, a lot of pressure is put on your foundation. If this load surpasses the amount your foundation is able to withstand, it may begin to crack. If you notice any of these problems happening in your business, give us a call!
