Tar Heel Foundation Solutions will work to repair damage caused by a sinking foundation. We offer permanent foundation-underpinning solutions that stand the test of time.
We will want to conduct a foundation inspection before we can be confident that underpinning is the right solution for your problems. During the inspection, we will look for common signs of settlement and other foundation-related issues.
Certain types of cracks, crack orientations, and crack locations will tell us a lot about how your foundation is settling. Foundation underpinning has been proven successful for certain types of soil movement, so we want to be sure this is the right method for the problems you are experiencing.
We will schedule repairs once we determine that helical piers are the best solution for your home (or building). Installing helical piers is a noninvasive foundation repair method.
We will dig out the area around your foundation to install helical piers in the specified installation areas. The support your foundation needs to prevent further movement will determine these areas.
Once your foundation is exposed, we can begin installing the piers. Helical piers are driven into the ground near your foundation, similar to how a screw works. We use small excavation equipment to do this, so there is little to no damage to your landscaping. Once the piers reach an optimal depth without any soil movement, we can transfer your structure’s weight onto the piers for ultimate support.
