Foundation Settlement
Foundation Repair Company in Louisville, KY
Case Foundation Systems will provide unmatched protection for your Louisville, KY, Southern Indiana, or surrounding area home through quality foundation repair. Our services include preventing and fixing foundation settlement, a condition that causes properties to sag and sink into the ground. This occurs primarily because of poor soil conditions caused by aging and harsh weather. We’ll provide cutting-edge pier solutions to restore your home’s structural integrity and improve its quality and safety.
The Reasons Why Property Foundations Sag
Foundation settlement happens for various reasons, including:
Rain, stormwater buildup, and inadequate drainage systems can erode soil, weakening your foundation's base.
When rain pools or puddles, it enlarges and inflates clay soil. This creates cavities in the ground that make foundations vulnerable to sinking.
Hot and dry climate and weather conditions dry out soil. When this occurs, the soil may recede, causing shifting and instability.
If your foundation is settling, it could mean your soil wasn't properly compacted when your home was built.
Foundation Repair Through Steel Piers
We repair and restore foundations using robust steel piers built to provide lasting stability and support. Here’s how they work:
- Helical Piers: These piers comprise steel shafts that reach under foundations and attach to deep soil layers.
- Push Piers: We anchor push piers underneath foundations and ensure they stay firmly in place with brackets.
- Slab Piers: If your foundation’s supportive concrete slabs have settled, we’ll install slab piers to lift them back up.
Is My Home’s Foundation Sinking?
If your property is experiencing foundation settlement, your walls may crack, tilt, or bow, and gaps may appear between them and your floors. Stuck windows and doors are also common signs of foundational sinking. You should contact the experts to schedule an inspection and service if you detect any of these signs. This can prevent further structural damage and keep your home and family from harm. Case Foundation Systems is equipped and trained to identify the causes of foundation settlement and implement the right solution to resolve it.
