Guntersville, Alabama

Foundation cracks and settlement are some of the common foundation problems that Guntersville homeowners see. Settlement and cracks are normally the result of soil shifting under your foundation. This shifting can be caused by erosion, soil swelling or shrinking, or uneven soil compaction. If you have a foundation problem like settlement, you might also see floor and wall cracks, misaligned windows, bowing walls, and other structural issues.

The best way to deal with foundation cracks and other issues in your Guntersville, AL home is to get in touch with the professionals at Affordable Foundation and Home Repair. We install helical piers and anchors, and other underpinning solutions to resolve even the toughest foundation problems. To support your sinking foundation, we install helical piers. These stilt-like devices are driven or screwed into the ground below the concrete to lift and support the foundation. To reposition bowing and leaning foundation walls, we can use wall plate anchors or helical tiebacks.

We also offer methods to keep the crawlspace of your home free of moisture. Damp crawlspaces make the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. This can lead to significant health issues for you and your family, since much of the air that you breathe throughout your home comes from the crawlspace. If you have mold in your crawlspace, we offer mold soda blasting to take care of mold by removing spores and cleaning the surface.

We also offer solutions to prevent future mold growth by sealing out crawlspace moisture. Our vapor barriers can keep moisture out of your crawlspace. We offer professional crawlspace encapsulation to seal the inside of your crawlspace and prevent mold formation and other issues related to wet crawlspaces.

Foundation problems can also allow water to seep into your basement. That is why we offer a range of basement waterproofing solutions to keep your basement healthy and dry:

• Surface Drainage: These techniques help prevent water from pooling in your yard.
• Exterior Waterproofing: These systems keep water in the ground around your home from seeping into the basement.
• Interior Waterproofing: This system collects water that enters the basement and reroutes it out of the home.

These solutions will help prevent flooding, wet basements, mold growth, and other issues in your Guntersville, Alabama home. In addition to waterproofing, our team specializes in various other home repair services, including crack repair, concrete repair, and polyjacking. Whatever your Guntersville home’s needs are, call us today.
