Foundation Repair in Shelbyville, KY

4.9 (188)

In Shelbyville, KY, the clay soils provide a certain level of support for foundations, but they can also lead to issues like settlement and cracking, especially with the region's average annual rainfall of 45 inches. When the soil becomes saturated, it can erode and lose its ability to support structures, resulting in problematic signs such as uneven floors, wall cracks, and tilting chimneys. AFS employs advanced foundation repair systems, including piers and wall anchors, to effectively stabilize and reinforce your foundation against the challenges posed by weak soil.

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Shelbyville

Soil Settlement

Shifting or sinking soil under your foundation causes uneven settling, which can lead to cracks and structural issues.

Moisture Changes

Seasonal soil changes, like expansion during wet periods and shrinking during dry spells, put stress on your foundation, leading to cracks and instability.

Tree Roots

Nearby growing tree roots can shift the soil beneath your foundation, causing cracks and uneven support.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure, pushing against foundation walls and causing cracks or bowing over time.

Plumbing Leaks

Plumbing leaks near your foundation can saturate the soil, weakening its stability and leading to foundation movement or cracks.

Temperature Changes

Freeze-thaw cycles cause the soil around your home to expand and contract, which can cause for your foundation to shift and cause damage.

Climate Conditions

Heavy rains or drought can cause soil to shift, leading to cracks and instability in your foundation. Foundation repair restores stability, protecting your home from further damage and ensuring long-term safety.
