Concrete Slab Foundation Leveling & Stabilization
Homes built on concrete slab foundations can settle usually showing signs of sticking doors, windows, cracked interior sheetrock, and cracks on exterior brick walls.
Settlement of concrete load-bearing footers is due to several circumstances. Here are a few:
- Faulty load-bearing footer design
- Improper site work from not removing tree stumps and organic matter
- Improper base and compaction
- Unstable subgrade soils
- Erosion from rain and water run-off
- Simply bad or deteriorating concrete mix
Lyons Foundation Repair will inspect and analyze your home's cause of settlement to pinpoint proper repair solutions. Some concrete foundations are raised and stabilized with concrete masonry base holes under load-bearing footers. They will be hydraulically lifted, raised, and stabilized. In some situations, concrete slab foundations might require piling holes or helical piers to reach down past unstable soils.
