01. Crack Injection
This technique involves injecting epoxy or polyurethane resin into cracks in the foundation to fill and seal them. Crack injection is commonly used for repairing non-structural cracks caused by settling, shrinkage, or minor foundation movement. The injected material forms a strong bond with the surrounding concrete, effectively preventing further water intrusion and stabilizing the foundation.
02. Foundation Underpinning
Foundation underpinning is a method used to strengthen and stabilize a foundation that has settled or shifted. It involves excavating soil beneath the existing foundation and installing additional support, such as concrete piers or helical piles, to transfer the weight of the structure to more stable soil or bedrock. This technique is particularly effective for addressing foundation settlement caused by soil erosion, poor compaction, or moisture changes.
03. Carbon Fiber Reinforcement
Carbon fiber reinforcement is a modern and innovative method used to reinforce and stabilize foundation walls that are bowing or cracking due to lateral pressure from soil or water. Carbon fiber strips or sheets are bonded to the interior surface of the foundation walls, providing added strength and preventing further movement. This technique is non-invasive, quick to install, and highly effective for repairing bowed walls without the need for extensive excavation or disruption.
04. French Drain Installation
French drains are drainage systems installed around the perimeter of a foundation to redirect water away from the structure and prevent moisture-related issues such as foundation settlement, cracking, and basement flooding. A French drain typically consists of a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel or aggregate, covered with filter fabric to prevent soil infiltration. This system collects excess water and directs it away from the foundation, helping to maintain a stable and dry environment around the structure.

Yes, foundation repair can help prevent further deterioration of the foundation and address underlying issues that could potentially lead to structural problems in the future. By stabilizing the foundation, you can protect your home from additional damage and maintain its structural integrity.
The coverage for foundation repair depends on the cause of the damage and the terms of your homeowner’s insurance policy. Damage caused by events such as flooding or earthquakes may not be covered, while issues related to normal wear and tear or sudden accidents might be included in your policy.
The cost of foundation repair can vary significantly based on factors such as the type of foundation damage, the chosen repair method, the size and complexity of the structure, and the geographic location. It’s best to consult with a professional foundation repair contractor for an accurate assessment and cost estimate tailored to your specific needs.
Exterior waterproofing involves applying a waterproof coating or membrane to the exterior surface of the foundation walls to prevent water infiltration. This method creates a barrier that redirects water away from the foundation, helping to keep the basement or crawl space dry and preventing moisture-related issues such as mold, mildew, and foundation damage.
