Symptoms of Foundation Problems
Cracks on the floor, ceiling, and walls, as shown in the picture, are clear signs of foundation problems in a house. Foundation problems usually happen when the house gets built over expansive soil such as clay because it changes its volume depending on how much exposure to moisture the soul gets.
Piers Installation Process: Location
The location of each pier gets determined by our engineering department since topographic maps need to get analyzed, and formulas must get made to install each pier in the best location to provide the foundation support needed.
