Check out BDB’s case study on sinking foundation repair: how we repaired a sinking commercial building.
The signs of a sinking foundation are not difficult to spot. Cracks in foundation walls or in drywall sheets are telltale signs of trouble. Stairstep-shaped cracks in brick or block mortar are always indications that your basement or foundation is shifting.
More Foundation Repair Signs:
- Windows and doors stick and are difficult to open.
- Multiple popped-up nails appear in ceilings and walls.
- Large gaps in window and door frames.
- Spaces appear between windows and/or doors and surrounding trim.
- Floors start to settle and become uneven.
- Leaning or bowed basement walls.
- Foundation wall cracks.
- Interior plaster walls/drywall crack.
- Chimney tilts or leans.
- The foundation starts to sink.
- Cracks appear in basement walls.
These issues left untreated can continue to get worse and cause more damage. This will lead to more costly repairs, and greater risk to you and your family. It will also greatly lower the value of your property. Your best choice is to contact BDB and find the best repair solution for your home.
How We Repair Foundation Settlement
With our more than 30 years of experience, we are certain of the best solutions. To fix house settlement, the SafeBasements Push Pier system leads the industry.
Push Pier System
The SafeBase system transfers the weight of the house to load-bearing soil like bedrock. This system stops the house from settling further. It also creates the opportunity to lift the house back to level. Here’s how the SafeBasement pier system works:
- We dig a trench to the footing
- We attach the SaberTooth bracket, made of industrial strength steel, to the footing
- Steel pipe is forced past the unstable soil until we hit the pressure needed
- Lift cylinders are used to lift the building to as level as possible
- Cylinders are removed and the trench is filled
With the included 25 year warranty, you can be confident of this permanent solution
