Foundation piering, also known as foundation underpinning or foundation stabilization, is a technique used to reinforce and stabilize a building's foundation when it has become compromised due to settling, shifting soils, or other vertical structural issues. This method involves installing vertical structural supports known as piers or piles beneath the foundation to prevent further settlement. Falcon Foundations is an authorized installer of Stratos Piers.
A steel push pier is a foundation piering system utilized in both residential and commercial construction to stabilize and elevate foundations affected by settlement or sinking. It is particularly effective in situations where the foundation has shifted due to unstable soil conditions or changes in moisture levels. The steel push pier system is designed to transfer the structure's weight to more stable soil or load-bearing strata.
Cracks in the foundation walls are a primary and significant indicator of foundation problems. Pay attention to the size, location, and orientation of cracks. Horizontal or widening cracks are often more concerning than small, vertical cracks.
If you notice that the floors inside your home are sloping or uneven, it suggests that the foundation has shifted, causing an imbalance in the structure. This is a key sign of foundation settlement.
When doors and windows become difficult to open and close, or visible gaps around them, is a common sign of foundation issues. Foundation movement can cause these structural elements to become misaligned.
Doors that frequently stick, jam, or do not latch properly are often an early sign of foundation settlement. The misalignment caused by the shifting foundation can affect the operation of doors throughout the structure.
Walls that appear to bow or lean inward, especially in the basement or crawl space, indicate a serious foundation problem. The entire building is at risk if the foundation walls are bowed.
