Foundation Inspection and Repair
Our experienced technicians conduct detailed assessments to identify the underlying causes of foundation or crawl space problems. During the inspection, we look for signs of foundation damage, such as cracks in the basement walls or floors, uneven floors, doors and windows that stick or don’t close properly, and gaps around window frames or exterior doors. We also examine the surrounding soil conditions and check for water drainage issues that might contribute to foundation instability.
Wall Crack Repair
Wall cracks are one of the most common signs of foundation problems. These cracks can vary in size and severity, and they can appear both inside and outside your home. At Sure-dri, we offer specialized wall crack repair solutions to address these issues. Our techniques include epoxy injections and polyurethane foam injections, which effectively fill and seal the cracks, preventing water infiltration and further damage.
Epoxy injections are used for structural cracks, providing strength and stability to the affected area. Polyurethane foam injections, on the other hand, are more flexible and are used to seal cracks that are prone to slight movements. Both methods restore the integrity of your walls and prevent the cracks from worsening over time.
Structural Repair
Structural repairs are essential for addressing significant foundation issues that threaten the overall stability of your home. These repairs often involve reinforcing or replacing damaged foundation components. At Sure-dri, we utilize a range of structural repair techniques, including underpinning, wall anchors, and steel push piers.
Underpinning involves extending the foundation depth or breadth to rest on more stable soil or to distribute the load more effectively. Helical piers are screwed into the ground beneath the foundation to provide support, while steel push piers are hydraulically driven into the ground to stabilize the foundation. These methods are highly effective in correcting foundation settlement and restoring structural integrity.
Foundation Excavation
Foundation excavation is sometimes necessary for more extensive repairs or to gain access to the foundation for certain types of interventions. This process involves digging around the foundation to expose the affected areas. Once exposed, our technicians can assess the damage more accurately and carry out the necessary repairs.
Foundation excavation allows us to address issues such as large cracks, bulging walls, and severe water damage. After completing the repairs, we take steps to ensure proper backfilling and soil compaction to prevent future problems.
Crack Injections
Crack injections are a vital part of our foundation repair services, particularly for addressing non-structural cracks that can lead to water infiltration. These injections involve filling the cracks with specialized materials that bond with the concrete, creating a watertight seal.
Our crack injection process includes both epoxy and polyurethane options. Epoxy injections are used for structural repairs, providing a strong, permanent fix. Polyurethane injections are more flexible, making them ideal for sealing cracks that may experience slight movements. Both methods prevent water from entering your foundation, reducing the risk of mold growth and further damage.
Carbon Fiber Wall Reinforcement
Carbon fiber wall reinforcement is a cutting-edge solution for strengthening foundation walls that have started to bow or crack. Carbon fiber is incredibly strong and lightweight, making it an ideal material for reinforcing walls without adding significant weight.
At Sure-dri, we apply carbon fiber strips to the affected walls using a high-strength epoxy. These strips bond to the wall and provide additional support, preventing further movement and stabilizing the structure. Carbon fiber reinforcement is a cost-effective and minimally invasive solution that offers long-lasting results.
Foundation Replacement
In cases where the foundation is severely damaged beyond repair, a full foundation replacement may be necessary. This process involves lifting the house off its existing foundation and constructing a new one. While this is a more extensive and complex procedure, it ensures the long-term stability and safety of your home.
