Three Methods For Foundation Repair
It’s finally time to get your house sitting level and keeping you and your family safe again. Here are three of the most popular methods of foundation repair:
Steel Piers
Also known as hydraulic jacking or simply as piering, this method drives steel posts through your unstable soil. Hydraulic jacks are then used to either stabilize or raise your concrete slabs that have been affected by your land’s unreliable soil.
Slabjacking
When a foundation contractor chooses to use a slabjacking method, this means they pump grout or polyurethane beneath a slab or beam. This will lift the rest of the house to its ideal, level elevation. At A-1 Concrete and Leveling, we use an all-natural, environmentally friendly limestone grout.
Rebar
Rebar is typically only used for bowed walls. We hydraulically jack your wall back into place, and then insert heavy-duty rebar and pump your wall full of concrete for a foundation repair solution that will last.
