What Causes Sinking Foundations?

Sinking foundations are caused by the movement of the soil beneath the foundation. As the soil gets dry, it will shrink and when it becomes too wet, the soil will expand. All of this constant movement of the soil will cause your foundation to shift and sink into the voids that have formed. Basement Masters Waterproofing has the expert services needed to repair your sinking foundation in Northern Virginia. However, you need to know the signs first.

How To Fix Sinking Foundations

Steel Push Piers

One product to help your sinking foundation Virginia is steel push piers. They are designed to give new support to the structure of your home that has lost its original supporting soils. These underpinning products will stabilize a sinking foundation and lift and hold the structure at your home’s originally designed elevation.

Steel push piers are driven deep into the ground through unstable soil layers until they reach solid ground. Then each pier is individually load tested. After testing, the entire weight of the structure is lifted onto the piers to stabilize the structure.

Push piers can be used for a variety of applications in your home, so even if your home is not sinking but bowing or some other serious problem, push piers will restore it.
