Foundation Settlement: A Common Problem
Foundation settlement is a widespread structural issue that affects homes of all ages, sizes, and styles. Poor soil conditions around the property primarily cause settlement. During the construction of a home, a hole is excavated in the earth, slightly larger than the actual foundation, to allow space for equipment movement.
Once the home is completed, backfill soil is added around the foundation. However, if it is not properly filled or compacted, gaps and voids can form, leading to problems when it rains. Moisture saturates the soil, causing it to become unstable and unable to support the weight of the home. This can result in sinking and settlement. Other factors contributing to foundation settlement include poor building materials and vegetation growth, such as tree roots creating voids beneath the home.
Warning Signs of Foundation Settlement
It’s important to know the warning signs of foundation settlement issues in your home. Look out for the following:
- Windows and doors that feel stuck and don’t open or close properly
- Interior and exterior cracks appearing on walls
- Chimney tilting or leaning away from the home
- Bowing walls in the basement
- Certain areas on the first floor feeling uneven or sloping
- Visible sinking on one or more sides of the exterior walls
- If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to address the issue promptly to prevent further damage and potential safety hazards.
Our Solution: Piering with Grip-Tite® Products
At America’s Basement Contractor, we offer a reliable solution for foundation settlement problems through a technique called piering. Our trained and experienced team utilizes Grip-Tite® foundation piers manufactured by one of the industry’s most reputable and trusted manufacturers.
Foundation piers are installed deep into the stable soil to transfer the weight of the home off of the failing and weakened base and onto the piers themselves. This process helps prevent additional settlement and gradually lifts the home back into its proper position.
