Cities Foundation Repair
If you’ve found flaws around the home in the way of doors that won’t close, cracked walls or bulging floors these can be the signs of foundation problems. Better to take care of these when you see early signs because foundation settlement can lead to major structural problems with your home later on that can become very costly, very quickly.
Fortunately, there are several methods of repair available to fix a concrete foundation without having to tear your home up and start from scratch.
Causes may be due to building on expansive clay, compressible or improperly compacted fill soils or improper maintenance around foundations.
Older homes are typically more susceptible, especially in the arid southern region of the U.S. in cities located in Texas.
If you see signs of foundation distress, don’t wait to solve the problem as this could lead to unsafe structures.
Your foundation could sink and cause further damage. A professional will be able to assess which repair method is best suited for your specific foundation issues. Educate yourself on the process of foundation repair so you are familiar with the work being done on your home. It is likely that you will have to budget in the range of $10,000 for this kind of repair job.
House Leveling Contractor
The process of leveling a home is not an easy task so we’ve made a list of the steps you should take if you plan on doing it yourself.
- Consult a qualified Structural Engineer first. They will provide a detailed assessment.
- Determine how far the middle of the house needs to be lifted with a laser level from one end of the foundation to the other from several sides.
- Use concrete blocks to build a temporary post to place on firm level ground under the house.
- Use a hydraulic jack to lift the house then add smaller blocks to support the center of the structure at the new elevation.
- Move house to rest on the temporary post when you lift it to the next lowest point.
- Build another temporary post and repeat.
- When the floor is level and stable on the temporary posts, prepare for permanent supports.
Driveway Repair Contractor
Most people don’t pay much attention to their driveway and take them for granted but they are an important part of your property landscape that if left ignored could be costly. If you already have a driveway or are thinking of adding one to a new home, here are some scenarios to consider.
Retrofitting Contractor
For those of you who live in areas where weather conditions affect the condition of your home over time, retrofitting may be necessary. It’s important that your home is fit to withstand the worst windstorms that may blow through your neighborhood from time to time.
How do you know if you need a retrofit? One of the first things you should do is check with your city for local building codes which vary in each part of the country. A good indicator of a storm-ready house is when it was built. Older homes may not have been built to the same standards years ago.
