Sometimes you do not need a new foundation, but foundation repair is necessary because there are breaks in your foundation due to prior earth movement, age or even poor drainage. Left unchecked and uncorrected, these breaks in the foundation and stem wall can lead to additional cost and, in many cases, pose a risk to your structure. At Julian Construction, Inc. we can repair the cracks often with a strap, epoxy injection or a pad known as an underpin, making yours a safer home. Julian Construction understands the stress and fear that earthquakes and seismic activity can cause.
Typically, homes that are suffering from sloping floors from foundation issues are older properties that have been constructed with weak foundations or they’re properties that have been built on poorly compacted soil.
House leveling is typically done when a home’s foundation has settled unevenly. Settlement can be caused by more than just the age of the house, it can occur when the soil beneath the foundation has not been compacted properly or the soil is suffering from excessive moisture or dryness.
Foundation problems, when caught early, are relatively easy and cost-efficient to repair. A home with foundation issues will also make the property harder to sell, which may motivate the seller to come down significantly on price.
There's nothing better than a satisfied customer! Check out his review from our customer Peter:
Earthquake retrofitting is necessary to keep your home from being displaced from its foundation during a large quake. Retrofitting for earthquakes has been proven to make buildings stronger and less likely to suffer severe structural damage and destruction during seismic events.
