Foundation Issues in Austin, AR

Challenge

Barry W. was about to sell his home when he noticed cracks forming on the walls of the home. He knew that this was a sign of a foundation issue and that this would have to be resolved before he sold the house. 

Solution

To resolve this issue, we installed slab piers that started in the kitchen and wrapped around to the Master bedroom/bathroom. Installing piers will support the foundation of the home. When soils are unable to bear the load of the structure on top of it, that structure must sink downwards into the ground. This is true with homes, concrete floors, chimneys, and many other structures.

We also installed the PolyLeve®l system and this uses high-density polyurethane expanding foam to raise settled concrete foundations and slabs. The state-of-the-art polymer injection is a fast-acting, affordable alternative to mudjacking and concrete slab replacement.Installers use specially-designed equipment to inject structural-grade polymer into penny-sized holes bored in the slab. After the void underneath the concrete slab is filled, the expanding foam will lift and level the slab. PolyLevel® is a quick-curing solution and the polymer is waterproof and will never wash away.

By installing these systems, we were able to help Barry sell his home at an increased value.
