Concrete Slab Foundation Repair
Concrete slab foundations can be affected by various environmental factors. For example, in Abilene, heavy rainfall can cause soil expansion, which exerts pressure on the foundation from both sides and underneath. To mitigate this problem, we provide slab foundation repair services that involve reinforcing specific areas.
Pier and Beam Foundation Repair
When it comes to pier and beam foundation repair, there are various options available. Depending on the condition of your foundation, you may only need to replace a few piers, or you may need to add dozens of new piers. Wooden piers can deteriorate over time due to moisture in the crawl space, so replacing them with steel and installing a moisture management system to protect the remaining piers may be recommended.
Foundation and House Leveling
House leveling is often the final step in foundation repair. It brings the house back to its original position after the underlying problem has been fixed, addressing issues such as uneven floors and gaps in door or window frames. At Abilene Foundation Experts, we offer professional foundation and house leveling services at an affordable cost.
Commercial Foundation Repair
Residential and commercial properties may have different causes for foundation problems. Commercial buildings are often impacted by the weight of the structure and issues with gutters and downspouts, which are not typically a concern for residential homes. At Abilene Foundation Experts, we have extensive experience in dealing with various types of commercial properties, including warehouses, churches, and restaurants. Our priority is to ensure the safety of your staff and customers.
Drainage Fix
Proper drainage is crucial in Texas soil to prevent foundation issues. The soil in Texas tends to expand and contract with changes in moisture levels, which can cause the foundation to shift and settle. Heavy rainfall and flooding in the state can also contribute to foundation issues. To avoid this, fixing drainage around your house includes regrading the land to direct water away, installing drainage systems, repairing gutters and downspouts, and promptly addressing any leaks or water damage. This will help prevent soil expansion, contraction, and foundation issues. Regular inspections and maintenance of the foundation can also go a long way in avoiding foundation issues caused by poor drainage.
Crawl Space Encapsulation & Repair
It’s important to remember that crawl spaces play a crucial role in maintaining the overall health of your home, even though they may not be something you think about often. When there is moisture and humidity present in crawl spaces, it can weaken the structure of your home and decrease indoor air quality. Fortunately, Abilene Foundation Experts can identify these warning signs early on and prevent further damage from occurring.
