There are a variety of methods that a foundation repair contractor might utilize to help try and stabilize or even save your home. Each method has its own pricing structure, which can vary from contractor to contractor, and from structure to structure. But one thing is certain: losing your home because you neglected to invest in professional foundation repair will always cost you tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars more than structural repairs. When compared to how much foundation repair costs vs foundation replacement or the cost of losing your entire investment, it’s a no-brainer for homeowners and business owners alike, regardless of the repair costs.
This method of stabilizing foundational walls has been a life-saver for many homeowners, and often uses steel I-beams, channel steel, or carbon fiber to support.
This system is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Key areas of your crawl space are supported with a post-and-beam assembly.
There are a few different types of Pier Systems that your structural repair contractor might suggest for your foundation repair needs. We gravitate towards push piers, slab piers, and helical piers.
This very involved process is what we refer to as deep foundational repair. Long, corkscrew piers are embedded deep in the ground below your structure, and aligned to support big sections of your foundation.
Also called resistance piers, these are driven deep into the ground to lift and support all types of structures, including your East Alabama home or commercial building.
For concrete slab settlement, slab piers can be a very helpful form of support. These piers typically are driven far enough down in the earth to find something solid before they are used to support a structure or concrete pad.
Did you know that sprayfoam insulation can be used for much more than energy efficiency? If used by professionals in your crawl space, basement walls, or other key areas, this type of insulation can actually strengthen your weaker foundational elements.
