Signs of a Foundation Problem: Wall Cracks
Wall cracks are very common symptoms when there is a foundation issue. The main problem with these types of cracks is that if the major foundation problem does not get repaired on time, the cracks will only get worse.
Signs of a Foundation Problem: Ceiling Crack
As mentioned before, if the main foundation issues do not get fixed on time, the racks will worsen. As shown n this picture, the cracks from the rocky wall expanded all the way to the ceiling, making the problem more visible and expensive to repair.
Underpinning Process: Teamwork & Communication
Would you like to know what is the secret sauce for our success? Well, it is communication and teamwork because without communication can not be able to work together, and without working together as a community, we would not be able to communicate right. On every project, our team collaborates to be as efficient as possible to deliver the best result at the most convenient time.
Underpinning Process: Location
Location is very important since every spot is selected by the engineer after analysis of the whole scenario and considering the house's needs along with the consumer's goals.
Underpinning Process: How Deep should We Dig?
Every location might be different; therefore, the deepness of each pier might differ from one other. Generally, our foundation heroes drill down each pier from 7 to 10 feet underground to provide full stability.
Underpinning Process: The Importance of Distance
The distance between each pier is crucial because the closer they are, the more foundation support they provide. To determine how many piers and how closed each pier needs to be to each other, our staff needs to consider important factors such as the weight of the room, analyze the topographic map, and the environmental factors around it.
Underpinning Process: Last Assessment
Right before permanently attaching each pier with its assigned bracket, our foundation experts complete a last evaluation to determine the current state of the foundation. Once the last assessment is completed, our staff evaluates if it is wise to lift the house foundation back to its original position.
Underpinning Process: Final Look
After installing all the piers and providing the expected support to every room, each hole is covered with dirt until it looks like nothing happened. Thanks to Arizona Foundation Solutions, this family will no longer have to worry about foundation problems for a very long time.
