The Advantages of Rebuilding a Foundation
When your foundation is badly damaged, rebuilding it is the right choice. Severely deteriorated foundations will not respond well to repairs, only providing a temporary solution that will just have to be addressed again later. Rebuilding your foundation will ensure the problem is more thoroughly addressed and that your home receives the structural support it needs. A foundation rebuild will essentially give you a brand-new foundation that will provide support for many years to come. Let our team assess the current state of your foundation and determine if rebuilding is the best option for you.
Knowing what causes problems with your foundation can be an excellent way to help identify or prevent these issues. Our team wants to help you maintain strong foundational support for your home, and if we discover there is an issue, we can provide the necessary foundation repairs or foundation replacement. Even if your foundation is already damaged, the knowledge of what caused the damage will help you stop it from occurring in the future. Some of the most common causes of foundation damage include:
- Dry Soil: When the soil around your home becomes very dry, it shrinks, which can cause shifts and cracks in your foundation. This can occur during especially dry summer months or if you have large trees near your home that are sucking the moisture from the ground.
- Inadequate Drainage: Water must be directed away from your home when it rains, or the excess moisture can begin to deteriorate your foundation. Be sure your home has clean, working gutters and downspouts, and that the soil is properly graded to help water drain away from the home.
- Water Leaks: Water could be leaking from supply pipes to your home for many years before you realize it. This will cause water to collect in the space under your home, which could damage your foundation.
- Poor Soil Quality: Soil that is low quality can frequently shrink or expand, putting pressure on your foundation that could lead to problems. Foundation damage can also be caused by soil that is low density or is not compacted properly.
While some foundation damage can be fixed with a repair, there are situations in which foundations can be beyond repair. In these cases, you need an experienced team to build a new foundation underneath your home. This is a delicate and tricky process, so you want to be sure you entrust the job to an expert with proper training and knowledge. Our team can complete foundation replacement if:
- The Foundation is Badly Deteriorated: When foundations are not properly protected and maintained, they can become so severely damaged that even repairs are not enough to fix the issue. In these cases, foundation replacement is the only option. Your foundation may be beyond repair if you’ve noticed concrete chipping out, bulges in the foundation, or salt-like debris in your basement or around the foundation.
- The Foundation was Poorly Constructed: Foundations that were not constructed with quality materials will likely require replacement to prevent future structural problems. If you are concerned that your foundation was poorly constructed, even if it has not yet shown signs of problems, our team can determine if replacement is necessary.
- There is No Foundation at All: Believe it or not, some old structures were not built with a foundation. This may have been due to old construction practices or issues with soil. Whatever the reason, you need to build a foundation under the structure to ensure it will continue to have the support it needs.
