"I had concrete floor leveling, and a foundation pier system installation. The droughts over the last few years caused any area supported by a trench foundation to sink. Gaps on the brick formed. The garage side door would not open. The concrete leveling took 1 day, and the foundation work took 2 days. These projects required 2 separate crews, as crew specialize. The foundation work was done 1st, followed by the concrete slab leveling a couple of days later.
Both crews arrived a little after 8 am. They were professional, and answered my questions. I took some pictures of the foundation work, also. When the crews were finished, they left the areas broom clean, which is standard. Nothing was damaged.
The foundation exposure took place on the 1st day. The lifting took place on the morning of the 2nd day. The inspector came around noon and approved the project. The crew then filled in the dirt, cleaned up and left. The foundation work area have dirt piles next to the brick. This is normal as it takes time for the dirt to settle.
I had foundation work at our house about 20 years ago, on another area with a trench foundation. So, I knew what to expect.
Also, the crew took out 3 bushes for me to transplant in my front yard. They also replanted a medium size firebush for me in the backyard. I did lose some shrubs due to the dirt needing to settle."
Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in South Lyon
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.
