The Top 4 Foundation Repair Products in Michigan

1. Wall Anchors 

Everyone knows that foundation walls carry tremendous loads (forces) to footings and the ground below. Homeowners often forget, however, that there are sometimes lateral forces or sideways pressure as well – until their foundation begins the crack, bow, or slide at the bottom, or tilt at the top.

SettleStop™ Wall Anchor System counteracts soil pressure with steel rods and plates that extend from the inside face of your foundation wall to stable, undisturbed soil outside your home. Because the rods are threaded, the anchors may be used to straighten walls in many cases.

3. Foundation Piers 

Structures settle or sink when the soil beneath them is unable to bear the load or forces bearing down upon it. The solution is to insert foundation piers to greater depths, where soils are firmer, and then attach them to the foundation footing.

Our experts can assist you in determining the best pier for your situation. Piers may be used in conjunction with compact hydraulic jacks to raise foundations to their original, level positions.

4. Crawl Space Jack Posts 

Crawl space foundations often include a series of piers that support beams, which in turn support framing for floors. If the piers shift or settle, or begin to deteriorate due to wood-damaging insects or rot, the floor above will sag.

In addition, drywall may crack, and doors and windows may jam. The remedy is often to replace the piers – a tall order in such a confined space. Our IntelliJack™ floor support system, however, can be installed with minimal disruptions.

They restore stability quickly and can be adjusted to bring sagging floors to back to level. A professional repair company can then address the causes of your crawl space problems, such as excess humidity, through techniques that include waterproofing and encapsulation.
