 Pro Foundation Technology has been helping home and business owners successfully repair their building foundations since 1978. As a property owner, protecting your foundation can help improve the durability and long-run value of your property. With experienced engineers in Missouri and Kansas, Pro Foundation uses proven methods to restore the structural integrity to your foundation. This foundation repair guide aims to help home and business owners understand the techniques used to repair a foundation properly.
Over time, property foundations can begin to crack, settle, buckle under pressure or lose their structural integrity. It's important to do a professional review of any major damage to your foundation, as the specific cause and extent of the damage will impact the best methods for repair. The professionals at Pro Foundation Tech can help determine whether the cracks are caused by structural problems in the original construction, movement in the building due to erosion or other conditions which may arise from the specific structure. There are a variety of methods to repair minor cracks in foundation including epoxy sealant, which can address isolated issues including excessive moisture. Before making a final determination on the specific cause, a trained professional can help you determine the extent of the problem.
Steel Piering and Grid Strap Solutions
Structural damage to your building's foundation requires that its underpinning be supported by reinforcements. Common symptoms of major damage include bowed walls, as well as stuck windows and doors. In these cases, a Steel Piering system can help provide support to restore the foundation. Another advanced repair option is to utilize Kevlar (Carbon Fiber) grid straps to reinforce the foundation without the need for steel reinforcements - in certain cases, grid straps may be sufficient to solve isolated cracks along the walls of your foundation.
