De Soto, Kansas


De Soto, Kansas has its share of changing weather conditions such as cold and snowy winters and wet springs. Because the soil in De Soto is made up of clay, it is affected by these changing weather conditions. This type of soil expands when it is wet and shrinks when dry. Because of this shifting in the soil, it causes the foundation to move. It is a good idea to look around your home for signs of foundation problems.

Some of these signs are:

Foundation Repair

We use helical piers and steel piers to level and stabilize the foundation. They are driven deep into the ground through the unstable soil until they reach a steady bedrock or stronger soil.

To repair bowing and leaning walls, we use helical tiebacks. The supports are installed from the inside the basement wall through a small hole and with exterior excavation. Helical tiebacks are installed from inside the basement wall through a small hole.
