When is Foundation Repair Necessary?
Dec 07, 2017
While it may seem like the discovery of a crack or leak your house is a small problem, these seemingly minor imperfections can be a clear indicator of a much more significant issue with your home or business’s foundation. Left ignored, problems like these can continue to grow and turn into costly and extensive damage to your property. Rather than wait for your foundation problems to compound, contact Engineered Solutions of Georgia to learn about our foundation repair services.
As any Georgian knows, we experience regular rainfall and high humidity throughout the year. When this moist climate is combined with Georgia’s soft alluvial soil, foundations can resettle or sink over time, leading to significant damage to the property. To bolster your foundation, Engineered Solutions offers a range of repair techniques, including foundation restoration, piering, pressure grouting and restoration. However, at Engineered Solutions, we also understand that no two foundation repairs are the same, which is why we will carefully inspect your property and will often refer you to a third-party engineer to assist in developing a repair plan that will permanently address your unique problem. This way you can rest assured that your repair will be thorough, efficient and professional.
So, when is foundation repair necessary? Here are some signs that you should contact one of our experienced foundation contractors:
