Causes of Foundation Problems

The primary culprit behind most foundation problems is the soil surrounding your home. Settling or unstable soils and expansive soils can wreak havoc on your foundation. Without the appropriate reinforcements, your foundation can shift and settle, warping the structural elements throughout your home.

The Foundation Replacement Process

When considering foundation replacement, it’s crucial to consider what is involved. Total foundation replacement involves the complete excavation of soil around your home using heavy equipment. To expose your foundation, any structures surrounding your home will need to be removed, including porches, walkways, steps, gardens, or foliage.

Then, your house would be set on temporary supports while we remove the foundation. We will lower your home into place once the new foundation is set and we’ve replaced the surrounding soil. Afterward, we do our best to restore the surrounding landscape as best we can.
