Foundation Repair Solutions Customized for YourHome
Push Piers
Steel push piers are a powerful foundation repair solution designed to stabilize and lift settling foundations. These heavy-duty piers are hydraulically driven deep into stable soil or bedrock, providing long-term support for homes with foundation cracks or sinking structures. USS expertly installs push piers to restore strength and prevent further damage.
Helical Piers
Helical piers offer a reliable foundation repair option for structures experiencing settlement. These screw-like steel piers are drilled deep into stable soil to provide secure, lasting support. Ideal for lighter structures or poor soil conditions, USS installs helical piers with precision to reinforce foundations and prevent future movement or bowing walls.
Helical Tiebacks
Helical tiebacks are used to reinforce and stabilize bowing walls that result from excessive soil pressure. These long, screw-like anchors are drilled diagonally into stable soil, providing crucial lateral support. USS installs helical tiebacks to restore structural integrity, straighten foundation walls, and prevent further movement, ensuring long-term stability.
Carbon Fiber Wall Solutions
Carbon fiber wall solutions are an advanced method for reinforcing cracked or bowing basement walls. Strong yet flexible, carbon fiber straps are bonded to walls to prevent further shifting or cracking. USS installs these non-invasive, low-profile solutions to provide lasting stability without requiring extensive excavation or disruptive repairs.
Composite Rock Anchors
Composite rock anchors provide strong reinforcement for bowing or shifting foundation walls by securing them to stable ground. These high-strength anchors distribute pressure evenly, preventing further movement and stabilizing walls long-term. USS installs composite rock anchors to strengthen retaining walls, offering a durable, minimally invasive solution for homeowners facing structural concerns.
I-Beams
I-beams are a proven solution for stabilizing foundation walls that show signs of bowing or inward movement. Installed vertically against the wall, they provide crucial structural reinforcement by redistributing pressure and preventing further shifting. USS installs I-beams with expert precision, ensuring long-term support and protection for homes with foundation instability.
Wall Slushing
Wall slushing is a technique used to reinforce deteriorating foundation walls by filling cracks and voids with a specialized cement-based mixture. This process strengthens weakened walls, improves durability, and prevents further damage. USS expertly applies wall slushing to restore structural integrity and provide a cost-effective solution for minor foundation wall issues.
