TOTAL FOUNDATION REPLACEMENT

A complete foundation replacement in Southern Arkansas. The house is placed on temporary supports while the foundation is excavated and replaced. While it seems like the correct fix, the actual problem here could be the soil the home is sitting on.

Many homeowners remove and replace their foundation without addressing the problem that caused the foundation issue in the first place. When this happens, they often find that after several years, they’re facing the same foundation problem all over again.

At American Structure Inc., we address the problem with warrantied solutions and repairs that will fix your problem once and for all.

Concrete underpinning

Concrete underpinning failed to stabilize this house. Eventually, the homeowner had to invest in a different, more permanent solution for their home’s foundation.

To install concrete underpinning, the soils must be excavated from around the foundation. Larger concrete footings are poured beneath the existing footings. Once the concrete has cured, the soil is backfilled.

When it comes to foundation footings, “bigger” is not necessarily “better.” Most of the time, the underpinning will not extend beyond the problem soils under your home. If this is true, the larger footings you just paid for will continue to move and cause damage to your foundation.

Concrete shrinks as it cures and small gaps can form between the new and old footings. Open gaps beneath a home are never a good thing!

When concrete underpinning is installed and fails to solve the problem, it is much more expensive to repair. Before installing a new foundation system, all that added concrete will need to be removed first.

Concrete Piers

Concrete piers are too big and blunt to be driven deep into foundation soils, so they usually don’t extend to competent supporting soils.

These piers can crack under pressure, and they often install unevenly or crookedly under your home.

To install concrete piers under a home, the soil will first need to be excavated from around your foundation.

Short, 6″-8″ wide concrete cylinders are then pushed into the soil on top of one another, strung together by a wire. Shims are then placed between the top of the concrete pier and the footing, then the soil is backfilled. The over-lifting process required to perform shimming may lead to further damage to your foundation and require more intensive foundation repair.

Blunt, wide concrete cylinders are difficult to push deep into the ground, making it very difficult to extend them past the poor supporting soils under your home.

Concrete can crack and break when under pressure, and even in response to temperature changes, making concrete piers a flimsy repair method.
Additionally, there is nothing to guide the direction for the pier, which means they might not be installed straight. So how will they support your home?
Because of these and other reasons, very few companies will recommend this kind of approach.
