The soil in Liberty, Missouri is mostly clay which is an expansive soil. This means that it changes in volume with changing moisture conditions. When it gets saturated with water it expands and when it dries it shrinks. This movement causes foundation movement.
If you know the signs of foundation failure or settlement, the sooner you will be able to get the repair done so that further damage is not done. Look for wall cracks, sloping floors, bowing walls, water seepage, and ceiling cracks.
Foundation Repair
Contact Pro Foundation Technology if you notice signs of foundation failure. We use helical piers and steel push piers made by Earth Contact Products (ECP), the best in the industry. These piers are driven deep into the earth, past the expansive soils to reach stable soil. Then the structure is lifted onto these piers, bring it back to its original level.
To repair bowing walls, we use helical tiebacks that are installed from inside the basement wall through a small hole then with exterior excavation, the wall is immediately pulled back to its level position.
Basement Waterproofing
If you don’t have proper basement waterproofing, you are going to have water in your basement. This can cause many issues, including mold growth which can lead to health issues. Along with mold and mildew, it will damage personal possessions and can cause structural damage.
We can install an interior drainage system or exterior drainage system so that you won’t have to worry about water entering your home or business. The interior drainage system uses a perforated drain pipe installed inside the perimeter of the footing. This drain pipe is connected to a sump pump system and drains the water away from the foundation. Exterior waterproofing stops the water from collecting around the foundation.
Our sump pump system is efficient, safe and innovative designs are available. All of the waterproofing products we use are made by ECP and are the best in the industry. A sump pump can save you money in the long run by protecting your investment and belongings from water damage.
For whatever waterproofing needs you have in your Liberty, Missouri home or business, Pro Foundation Technology can take care of them.
