Foundation Repair Solutions in Tucker, GA

If you have a settling foundation, our team can use underpinning services to restore it to the proper position. Foundation pier installation using steel push piers or helical piers is one of the common repair methods for a sinking foundation. These piers are installed in the stable soils deep under the top shifting layers to prove stability and support the weight of the structure; helical piers are screwed into the soil, while steel piers are driven in. Pressure grouting is another repair option for inking foundations. This is a method in which a cement based grout is injected through holes in the slab to fill spaces under the foundation and lift it to the proper position, closing any foundation cracks.

For shifting foundations that have caused your basement walls to start leaning or bowing, invest in helical tieback installation. These devices are installed from the interior of the affected wall and anchor laterally into the soil, pulling the foundation wall back into place. Another solution is to used carbon fiber strips on the wall. These strips are applied to the wall to add strength and stability and straighten the bowing or leaning portions. Both solutions help close cracks that may have developed in the foundation walls.
