What causes it

Why foundations settle

Foundations settle when the soil beneath them moves, dries out, or was never compacted well. Chicago clay makes it common.

We reach stable soil or bedrock with steel piers, then lift and lock the foundation in place.

What we look for at the inspection

  • 1 Where and how much the home has settled
  • 2 Door, window, and floor movement
  • 3 Cracks that trace the settlement
  • 4 Soil type and depth to stable ground
  • 5 The right pier system for the load

Answers to what homeowners ask most

Structural Foundation Repair questions

What are steel piers? +
Steel piers are driven down to stable soil or bedrock and carry the weight of the home, stopping further settlement and often lifting it back.
Will it fix my sticking doors? +
Often, yes. Once the foundation is stabilised and lifted, doors and windows frequently come back into square.
How long does it take? +
Most pier jobs are completed in a few days.
