What Causes Foundation Settlement
Your foundation is surrounded by several layers of soil. These layers all have different load bearing and density characteristics that affect how water surrounds your home. Some of the soils surrounding your foundation were left undisturbed during construction and are highly compacted. However, the soil immediately surrounding your foundation was filled back in after the foundation was constructed.
This fill soil is less compacted than the surrounding soil, which can cause water buildup and excess pressure around your foundation. As this soil expands and contracts, the constant movement weakens the load-bearing soils surrounding your home. This creates pockets and voids beneath your foundation, which your home will sing or settle into over time.

Our Foundation Settlement Repair Solutions in Central Michigan
Our team offers several solutions for foundation settlement repair depending on the cause of the issue. These include foundation piering, bowed wall repair, and wall crack repair. Each solution solves a different foundation issue and will strengthen your foundation while preventing future settlement.
Bowed Wall Repair
In some cases, bowed foundation walls can be a sign of foundation failure. When you have bowed walls, that section of your foundation is no longer supporting your home. Our team installs bowed wall anchors to strengthen and straighten bowed walls. These wall anchors work by tying your foundation wall into stable soil around your home.
Wall Crack Repair
Wall cracks are a common sign of foundation settlement. They occur when the wall is no longer properly supported and can cause other issues such as basement leaks. Our team uses epoxy injection to fill and seal foundation cracks. The epoxy injection method both seals and prevents further cracking of your foundation wall.
