Cracking in or around your home is a common occurrence that many homeowners face. However, it’s important not to simply attribute these signs to “house settling.” In reality, these cracks can indicate deeper foundation issues that require immediate attention and mitigation. At TFS The Foundation Specialists, we are here to help you understand these problems and provide effective solutions to ensure your home remains safe and secure.
Its Not Just House Settling
Wall Cracks
- Wall cracks are often a sign of foundation movement or instability. While some may consider them a natural part of house settling, they can actually signal more serious structural issues. To address this, we commonly use Push Piers, which stabilize and support the foundation, preventing further movement and damage.
Sloping Floors
- If you notice that your floors are sloping or uneven, it’s time to act. Its not just house settling, this issue is often resolved with the installation of our Smart Jack System in the crawl space. Smart Jacks provide the necessary support to reinforce and level your floor joists, ensuring your floors are even and stable once again. To learn more about this repair and its cost contact our customer care team and schedule an inspection.
Stabilizing Walls
- In extreme cases walls might need to be reinforced to bare the weight of your home and stabilize your foundation. When it comes to stabilizing bowing or leaning walls, TFS offers a range of solutions. We utilize Geo Lock, Carbon Armor, or Power Brace systems based on the specific needs of your home. These innovative solutions provide the necessary reinforcement to keep your walls upright and secure.
Concrete Issues
- Cracking or uneven concrete slabs can compromise the safety and appearance of your property. These cracks are not just settling, but an indication of soil movement and potential tripping hazards. Our Poly Level system is designed to lift and level concrete slabs, restoring them to their original position. Additionally, SealantPro is used to seal the concrete, offering protection against weather conditions and enhancing your home’s curb appeal.
