Foundation problems can arise due to various factors, including soil movement or settlement, poor soil compaction during construction, excessive moisture or water damage, tree roots growing too close to the foundation, plumbing leaks, or seismic activity. Identifying the underlying cause is crucial in determining the appropriate repair solution for your foundation.

The repair method for your foundation depends on the severity of the damage and the underlying cause. Common repair techniques include underpinning (reinforcing the foundation by extending it to a deeper, more stable soil layer or using piers or helical anchors), slabjacking or mudjacking (lifting concrete slab foundations by injecting a cementitious grout beneath the slab), waterproofing (installing drainage systems, improving grading, or applying sealants to prevent water damage), and crack repair (filling or sealing cracks using epoxy injections or polyurethane foam). Consulting with a professional foundation repair contractor is crucial to assess your specific situation and recommend the most suitable repair options for your foundation.
