A strong foundation guarantees the home durability and stability hence the need for a skillful contractor to ensure that only the best processes and procedures get applied. Occasionally the foundation may get ruined due to water flooding caused by poor drainage and such issues. The Dallas drainage companies provide several effective repair methods dependent on the foundation used. The different kinds of foundation repairs include:
Concrete pier foundation repair
Dallas drainage companies do concrete foundation piers installation, which are durable piers that stabilize pier and beam houses and concrete slabs. The benefits got from the concrete piers include strong pressed foundation pilings, durability, and effectiveness on the expansive clay soils. The piers get well-installed during the foundation repairs through a well-defined process that starts with holes getting dug around the home perimeter foundation. On some occasions, an interior pier might get required; hence a hole gets dug in the central part of the foundation. If there is a slab, it gets broken down by Dallas drainage companies through a five-step repair process to allow the pilings insertion, and later the floor gets patched. Then a concrete cap gets placed on top of the piers and shims set above them. A hydraulic bottle jack then gets positioned on top of the cap, and the foundation is lifted, positioned directly on the shims. Finally, the holes that get excavated earlier get filled with soil. The completion of the whole process boosts the home foundation making it more stable and durable.
Steel pier foundation repair
Dallas drainage companies provide steel foundation piers that can get pressed into the earth 35-75’ or more. In addition, the piers come durable and have served homeowners for so many years, and they are also relatively quick to install. The foundation repair method is suitable for stabilizing foundations that get subjected to a lot of movements. The installation costs for the steel piers vary depending on various factors such as the quantity of the interior/exterior foundation piers to be installed and how deep the steel peers will get pressed into the earth. When the repairs get done, the market price of steel also gets considered since the charge of steel constantly goes up, making the pilings costly to manufacture. The steel piers come more effective than the concrete piers when positioned on highly unstable and very deep soil. The steel piers become expensive for foundations that experience minimal movements, and other options may come in handy.
