Vantage Foundation Repair

Bedrock, gravel and coarse sand are the best soil types for strong, stable foundations. Many homes, however, are constructed in fine sand, clay or silt-based soil, and because soil load-bearing capacity varies greatly as water content increases and decreases, foundations sometimes shift, crack or buckle.

If you are looking for a cost-effective approach to foundation repair, then the pressed piling repair method is going to be your best bet. Here, concrete cylinders are situated underneath the building to provide additional support.

When considering the purchase of an older home, look for signs of repeated repairs to the foundation or the walls (both interior and exterior). If you suspect something, have the foundation inspected and evaluated by an independent party.

While you may already know to be on the lookout for obvious signs of foundation trouble like a severely sloping floor, there are more subtle signs as well. If you aren’t quite sure what to watch for, we’re always here for you.
