Your home's foundation is only as stable as the ground it's built on. For homeowners in Birmingham, that's the problem—soil issues are common. The soil in many parts of Birmingham is expansive clay. This type of soil expands when wet (especially after rain or snow) and then shrinks during dry seasons. Considering the area gets around 56 inches of rain annually, it's not uncommon for the ground around your home to be swollen. This puts pressure on foundation walls, causing the base of your home to become uneven and cracked. Eventually, once all the moisture has drained from the soil, the ground shrinks and leads to foundation settlement. Look for signs of foundation cracks, sticking doors and windows, and a tilting chimney. Our proven solutions, like the wall anchor system or pier systems, ensure your home is stabilized for years to come.
