OUR SOLUTIONS
Every home is unique, meaning there's no one-solution-fits-all when it comes to the foundation repair of your New Albany home. If you choose to take us up on our complimentary foundation inspection, our experts will inspect your home to determine the cause of the foundation damage, helping you decide on the best solution for you and your budget.
In addition to foundation underpinning solutions such as helical and resistance piers, our New Albany foundation repair options also include the Abe Jack System, helical tieback system, and carbon fiber systems that address bowing walls.
HELICAL PIERS
With helical piers, weight can be transferred from soil with a low load-bearing capacity to soil or bedrock that is stronger. These helical piers look like large screws and with a large drill, they can be placed deep into the ground. This allows for the fast installation of helical piers at your New Albany property. Helical piers also offer other benefits such as:
- Load-bearing capacity is high
- Can be mounted horizontally or vertically
- Installation is done quickly
- Perfect for small spaces
- No excavation required
- Installable in winter
- Can reach great depths
- Available for immediate use
- Accurate installations
- Chance to raise foundations back to level
RESISTANCE PIERS
Resistance piers work in the same way as helical Piers to transfer foundation weight to load-bearing strata or bedrock. With the use of hydraulics, resistance piers can support the foundation's weight and push it back into place.
- You can often close cracks or other defects that are caused by settlement
- This gives you the chance to raise the foundation to its original level
- A solution that is cost-effective
- Installation in restricted areas is possible
- Immediate loading
- Load testing on-site means no spoils report is necessary
A foundation repair solution called the Abe Jack System is used to repair and stabilize bowing, buckling basement and foundation walls. With steel beams bracing the wall, it is able to resist lateral forces that cause it to move. Often, this solution enables the wall to be realigned close to its original position.
HELICAL TIEBACK
The purpose of these elements is not to underpin the foundation but to reinforce and stabilize it horizontally so that it can withstand lateral forces.
CARBON FIBER
We may use the carbon fiber system to treat bowing walls in situations where the Abe Jack and helical tiebacks systems are not appropriate. High-strength fabric is used in carbon fiber systems; they are extremely durable and do not stretch. They are attached to the bowed walls by epoxy, which secures the foundation and stops any more movement.
