Foundation Crack Repair � Two Common Methods to Repair Foundation Problems

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: James Belville Foundation Repair

There have been many options when it comes to foundation crack repair techniques, but most of them turned out to be futile. Presently, there are two common repair techniques that are considered most successful to remediate faulty foundations. These are slabjacking and piering (also called hydraulic jacking).
The main factor you should look into when deciding which repair method to use is the cause of the sunken concrete. Examine the trim boards, molding, mortar joints and the windows in lower areas to find clues. Be mindful of the weather as well. Unusually dry or wet weather can affect the condition of the underlying soil.

Slabjacking
Slabjacking is the most popular technique for repairing smaller slabs of distressed concrete. Contractors use this technique to fix sidewalks, driveways, pool decks and residential slabs. Slabjacking is done by pumping cement through small holes and spaces in the concrete slab.
When using a cement lime grout, the lime content spreads its stabilization benefits to the base, which greatly contributes to a successful foundation crack repair. This treatment restores the concrete slab to its proper state and stabilizes the underlying soil in order to prevent the same problem in the future.

Piering (Hydraulic Jacking)
For more serious foundation problems, particularly those in commercial buildings, piering is usually done to lift and stabilize the foundation. This foundation crack repair method involves the use of mechanical jacks that are strategically placed to raise the settled beam. The lifting of the beam must be done with utmost care to prevent further damage. When the beam is thus raised, it is held and elevated using a specially designed pier and spread footing. The footing is settled deep enough to make it independent of soil moisture variations.
This technique is also designed to sufficiently administer the load without producing unnecessary mass or bulk. The pier and the footing are tied together with steel to support the beam of the foundation successfully.

Symptoms of Slab/Foundation Failure
Foundation problems often occur when parts of the foundation settle or heave. This movement is caused by the variation in soil moisture. Excessively high or low moisture content of the soil can lead to severe swelling or shrinkage.
The most common signs of foundation failure are cracked walls, bulging floors, and doors that will not shut. These are the first things that foundation crack repair contractors often look for to determine whether your home really needs repairing. Without the presence of a contractor, you may still check your house to see if it has any symptom of foundation problems. Other signs of foundation failure are listed below.
Interior Warning Signals:
Cracked floors
Cracked sheetrock
Misaligned doors and windows
Exterior Warning Signals:
Cracked bricks
Displaced moldings
Wall rotation
Cracked and/or broken foundation

Discuss all of these methods and factors with your hired foundation crack repair contractor in order to fix the faulty foundation of your house immediately and effectively.
