WHAT CAUSES FOUNDATION PROBLEMS?

Most of the time, foundation problems happen because of poor soil conditions. The ground beneath and around your home is always shifting and settling, and this movement can lead to cracks in your house and its foundation.

Soil Conditions

As the weather changes with the seasons, the expansive clay soil around your foundation swells with water during wet periods and shrinks when the water dries up in dry periods. This constant change puts a lot of pressure on the foundation, which can cause it to crack. If you've seen any cracks in your foundation lately, contact our foundation stabilization experts in Georgetown to schedule a free inspection.

Weather

The weather plays a significant role in how the soil under your home behaves. Heavy rain and melting snow can cause the soil to expand, which is a major reason for foundation settlement. On the other hand, dry conditions can make the soil dry out and create gaps, also leading to settlement.

Drainage Issues

If you don't have good drainage because of missing or poorly working gutters, it can contribute to foundation problems. Without gutters and downspouts to guide water away from your foundation, stormwater can pool around it and cause damage.

NEARBY TREES AND BUSHES

Tree roots themselves don't usually harm your foundation, but many homeowners have had foundation problems because of large trees or shrubs close to their homes. Tree roots take in moisture from the soil, making the soil drier and more likely to settle.

Know the Symptoms

It's important to watch for signs of foundation problems in your home. Finding them early and getting quick foundation restoration from our Georgetown team could save you a lot of time and money.

Here are some common signs that you might need foundation repair:

• Doors or windows that stick
• Leaks in the roof or basement
• Cracks in bricks or walls
• Walls that are bowing, bulging, or leaning
• Drywall separating

• Chimneys that are tilting or leaning
• Leaning garage
• Caulking around windows or doors that is tearing

Rely On Us For a Solution

Our foundation repair services in Georgetown are done with advanced hydraulic pier systems to fix your current foundation problem and prevent future settlement.

• The resistance pier system goes deep into the soil until it reaches solid bedrock or more dense soil layers for support. It holds up the entire weight of the foundation and structure and uses hydraulics to lift both back to their original positions.
• The helical pier system does the same thing but is installed into the soil using a large rotating drill, instead of hydraulics, until it reaches solid layers.

Our skilled Georgetown foundation stabilization and repair team can determine which method is best for your home, with minimal disruption to your yard or landscaping.
