Lansing, Kansas

All homes should have a strong foundation. But regardless of how well your home is built, poor soil conditions and inconsistent moisture levels can create stress against your foundation. Several factors cause foundation failure.

• Fluctuating Temperatures: Freeze/thaw cycles can damage foundations and other concrete surfaces over time.
• Poor Drainage: Too much moisture and not enough can cause foundation drainage problems. Pooling water around your foundation caused by improper downspout extensions or clogged gutters can saturate the soil.
• Tree Roots: Maturing tree roots will soak up to 150 gallons of water. When tree roots grow underneath the foundation, they dehydrate the soil and cause the soil to shrink.
• Soil Expansion: Clay soil is known to shrink and swell. If you have soil expansion around your home, your foundation will shift and move over time.

If your home has any of these soil-related issues, then you may have foundation issues in the long run. Look for the common signs of foundation failure such as:

• Sticking doors and windows
• Ceiling cracks
• Uneven or sloping floors
• Foundation cracks
• Crumbling, flaking or chipping foundation

Foundation Repair

Any of the above signs may indicate foundation failure. Our foundation repair methods include helical piers or steel push piers. Both piers are manufactured by Earth Contact Products (ECP), the leading supplier in the underpinning industry. They are installed deep into the soil to stabilize and support settling foundations. We can restore your foundation to normal.
