If you have noticed that the ground is sinking near your home’s foundation, this can indicate that you may have serious foundation problems. Foundation problems are usually caused by the ever-changing moisture content in the soil beneath the foundation. In times of very wet weather, the soil becomes saturated and will heave and swell. In times of drought, the soil will shrink, creating voids beneath your foundation. This constant shifting of the soil will also cause your home’s foundation to shift and settle. 

Sinking Foundation

It is important that if you see the ground sinking near your foundation, look around your home for some of the other signs of foundation failure such as:

If you see any of these signs of foundation failure in your Virginia home or business, it is important to contact a professional with experience in foundation repair.

Letting foundation problems go without being repaired can cause major structural damage and will cost much more in the long run.

AMC911 Crawl Space & Foundation Repair has the products and solutions to get your foundation back to its original level and keep it structurally sound for many years to come.

Sinking Foundation Repair in Virginia

AMC911 Crawl Space & Foundation Repair uses underpinning products manufactured by Earth Contact Products (ECP) for foundation repair. These products include helical piers, steel push piers, and helical torque anchors.

Steel push piers are an excellent choice for foundation repair for sinking foundations. Foundation problems are caused by organic soils, poor compaction, improper footer embedment, and erosion. When steel push piers are installed, they will support and stabilize the load of the structure-bearing walls by transferring the weight of the structure from weaker soils onto the piers. These piers are driven deep into the ground to load-bearing soils.

Helical piers are excellent for foundation repair when light structural loads, unstable rock basements, or very deep load-bearing soils are present.

Each pier is individually load tested after installation using the maximum weight of the structure as the reaction force. During the load transfer, hydraulic jacks are placed at multiple locations reducing the load on each pier.
