Our Foundation Repair Process

01

Structural Assessment

A foundation specialist inspects all cracks, settlement patterns, drainage conditions, and soil conditions to develop a repair plan.

02

Engineering Review

For significant work, a structural engineer reviews and stamps the repair design.

03

Repair Installation

Steel push piers or helical piers are installed to bedrock or load-bearing soil; wall anchors or carbon fiber straps address bowing walls.

04

Lift & Verification

Where possible, the foundation is lifted back toward original grade. All work is verified with measurements before completion.

Foundation Repair FAQ for Jackson Homeowners

How often should Jackson homeowners get foundation repair?
Given Jackson's hot, humid summers averaging 91°f — one of the warmest us metros, most homeowners benefit from foundation repair at least once a year. Year-round termite monitoring (some of worst pressure in Southeast US) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Jackson most need foundation repair?
Brick ranch homes throughout Hinds and Rankin counties and Victorian homes in Belhaven and Fondren neighborhoods are the most common home types in Jackson and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
Are all foundation cracks serious?
Not all cracks are structural. Hairline cracks in block or poured walls from normal curing are common. Horizontal cracks in block walls, stair-step cracks, and cracks over 1/4 inch wide are more serious and warrant professional evaluation.
How do I know if my foundation is failing?
Warning signs: doors and windows that stick or won't close, sloping floors, diagonal cracks from window corners, cracks wider than 1/4 inch, and horizontal cracks in basement walls.
Can a foundation be repaired or does it need to be replaced?
Foundation repair — not replacement — is almost always the solution. Replacement is extremely rare and prohibitively expensive. Piers, anchors, and drainage correction resolve the vast majority of issues.
Do I need to disclose foundation repairs when selling?
Yes. Known foundation issues and past repairs must be disclosed in most states. A repaired foundation with a transferable warranty is often less concerning to buyers than an untouched failing foundation.
