Your home or commercial building’s foundation is the cornerstone of its structural integrity. A solid foundation provides support, stability, and protection for the entire property. However, when foundation problems arise, they can lead to serious issues like uneven floors, cracks in walls, and water damage. At Liberty View Concrete Repair, we specialize in comprehensive foundation repair services that restore your property’s stability and protect it from further damage.
Foundations can develop a variety of problems, each requiring different repair solutions. Cracks in your foundation are often the first sign of trouble. These cracks can occur due to settling, shifting soil, or water damage. For foundations that have sunk or settled unevenly, slabjacking is an effective repair method. This process involves injecting a specialized mixture beneath the foundation to raise and level it. It’s a minimally invasive technique that provides long-lasting results without the need for extensive excavation. When the soil beneath your foundation cannot properly support the weight of your building, piering, or underpinning, is the solution. This method involves driving steel piers deep into stable soil or bedrock to lift and stabilize the foundation. Piering is ideal for homes experiencing significant settling or shifting. We offer waterproofing solutions to protect your foundation from water damage by installing proper drainage systems and applying waterproof coatings that prevent water from seeping into cracks and causing structural issues.
Addressing foundation issues as soon as possible can save you from more expensive repairs in the future. If left unaddressed, minor issues like cracks or settling can lead to more extensive damage throughout your property, including uneven floors, wall cracks, and compromised structural integrity. By fixing foundation issues early, you prevent larger problems and more costly repairs down the road. Foundation damage often leads to drafts, cracks in the walls, and gaps that allow air to escape. When these issues are fixed, your home becomes more energy-efficient, reducing your heating and cooling costs and improving indoor comfort.
The cost of foundation repairs can vary depending on several factors, including the extent of the damage, the type of foundation, and the repair method required. On average, homeowners can expect to spend between $2,500 and $7,500 on foundation repairs, though minor crack repairs may cost less, while more extensive repairs, like piering or slabjacking, could be more expensive. Some of the factors that influence the cost include Severity of the damage, Repair method, and Location of the damage.
The timeline for foundation repair depends on the extent of the damage and the method used. Simple crack repairs typically take one to two days to complete, depending on the size and number of cracks. Piering or underpinning is more labor-intensive and can take anywhere from a few days to a week, depending on how many piers are needed and the accessibility of the area. Installing drainage systems and applying waterproof coatings may take two to four days, depending on the extent of the waterproofing needed.
