Concrete Foundation Repair and replacement are crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of your home. Concrete repair targets damaged areas and uses techniques such as patching, filling, and sealing to restore the concrete’s strength and durability. This is typically good for addressing cracks, spalling, or deteriorations to your concrete foundation. In cases of extreme foundation sinking, foundation concrete replacement may be necessary.
Replacement involves removing the existing concrete foundation and constructing a new one for stability and longevity.
Whether your sinking foundation needs to be repaired or replaced depends on several factors
Severity of Sinking: minor foundation sinking may not require total replacement if you catch it early and address it swiftly. However, significantly sinking foundations may require more extensive structural issues that would require full replacement.
Underlying Cause: If your sinking foundation is just caused by poor soil conditions or water-related issues, we can typically fix these without a total replacement.
Structural Integrity: In cases of severe foundation sinking, the structural integrity of the home may be compromised. When the foundation cannot adequately support the weight of your home, it’s time for foundation repair.
Cost Considerations: We understand that sinking foundation replacement can be outside of your budget. We’ll work with you to explore the most cost-effective sinking foundation repair options.
Assessment & Prep: Our professional will inspect your concrete foundation and determine if the damages require repair or replacement.
Demolition (if replacing): If our professionals determine that concrete foundation replacement is the best course of action, we’ll need to break up the concrete with heavy machinery and haul away the debris.
Excavation: For concrete repair and replacement, we’ll need to remove the dirt at the appropriate depth and dimensions. Sometimes we are able to dig by hand, but more extensive damage may require heavy machinery.
Installation: For concrete foundation repair, our team will patch, fill, and seal as necessary to restore your foundation. For concrete foundation replacement, a new foundation will be constructed using framework and sometimes reinforced steel for additional strength.
Concrete Pouring (if replacing): Once our team has set the parameters for the foundation, we will pour the concrete into the form and allow it to cure.
Backfilling: When your concrete foundation is restored, our team will carefully backfill with soil and leave your home better than we found it.
