Grant, Alabama

If your foundation has started to sink, it should be supported using foundation piers. Helical piers are like large screws inserted in the ground beneath your home. Once installed, these piers support the home and can be used to reverse settlement by lifting the foundation.

For shifting foundations that are resulting in leaning basement walls, we pull the foundation back into place. This can be done with a two-part wall anchor system or a helical tieback. While tiebacks work a lot like piers that are installed horizontally through the bowing basement wall, wall anchors involve an anchor in the yard that is attached to the wall with a rod and plate.

It is also important to keep moisture out of your crawlspace, since this part of your home supports the entire foundation. This can be achieved by installing a vapor barrier. Vapor barriers are made of plastic sheeting or foil and trap moisture outside so that it cannot enter the crawlspace and cause mold growth, wood rot, or rust.

If you do see mold growth in your crawlspace, we can help. Besides our crawlspace repair and waterproofing services, we offer crawlspace mold removal with mold soda blasting. This technique uses highly pressurized blasting of baking soda to clean mold off of crawlspace surfaces.

Many foundation problems are caused by water building up around your foundation and wearing away the concrete. Water can also cause foundation cracks, as it increases the soil pressure and pushes on the concrete.

We offer the following waterproofing solutions for your home:

Surface Drainage – French drains and other systems prevent puddles and pooling water.
Exterior Waterproofing – This system reduces groundwater buildup around your home.
Interior Waterproofing – Channels and drains funnel water in your basement to the sump pit.
Sump Pump Systems – This pumps water out of your basement to combat water entry.
All of these solutions work together to keep your Grant, Alabama home free of water and mold or mildew. In addition to waterproofing, crawlspace repair, foundation repair, and mold removal, our team offers other services to keep your home healthy. These services include polyjacking to lift your sinking slabs, crack repair to fix foundation, wall, and floor cracks, and concrete repair to level concrete.
