Poor Soil Conditions:

• The type of soil your home is built on plays a significant role. In detail, certain soils, like clay, expand when wet and contract when dry, causing your foundation to move with the soil.

 

• Additionally, other soils, like poorly compacted fill dirt, may not be strong enough to support the weight of your home.

Water Issues:

• Overall, excess moisture can cause the soil around your foundation to weaken, leading to settlement.

 

• Continually, poor drainage, plumbing leaks, or heavy rain can all contribute by saturating the soil and washing it away.

Tree Roots:

• Additionally, large trees planted too close to your home can cause the soil to shift as roots grow and absorb moisture.

 

• As a result, creating voids under your foundation.

Construction Mistakes:

• Sometimes, settlement occurs because the ground wasn’t properly prepared during construction.

 

• In detail, if the soil wasn’t compacted correctly, it can shift or erode over time, leading to movement.

Helical Piers:

• In detail, our crew screws these steel anchors deep into the ground beneath your foundation, reaching stable soil or bedrock. As a result, providing strong and reliable support for your home.

 

• Once installed, helical piers can lift your foundation and prevent further settlement.

Push Piers:

• Additionally, our crew drives the piers into the ground under the weight of your home until they reach solid, load-bearing soil.

 

• Once in place, they can stabilize and even raise your foundation.

• Overall, in cases where soil is the primary cause of settlement, TFS offers stabilization solutions to strengthen the ground beneath your foundation. As a result, it prevents future movement.
