Foundation Repair Materials and Methods
The right repair system depends on what is actually failing. Here are the primary approaches we use and when each applies.
Code-specified connectors for seismic retrofits. Installed through the mudsill into the foundation with epoxy or expansion anchor.
Adds shear resistance to the cripple wall — the primary purpose of a seismic retrofit. Nailed per the engineer's schedule.
Non-invasive repair that resists further movement. Does not require excavation.
Drilled to bearing soil below problem layer. Hydraulically tested to load capacity before the structure's weight is transferred.
We explain every material choice in our proposals. You know what's going into your home and why before any work starts.
