SLAB FOUNDATION REPAIR - PIER & BEAM FOUNDATION REPAIR DRAINAGE - ROOT BARRIERS IN San Antonio TEXAs
Foundation settlement is generally caused by movement within the soils that the foundation rests upon. The movement within these soils can be a result of various factors. Drought conditions, periods of heavy rainfall, consolidation of backfilled soils that had been poorly compacted, decomposition or decay of materials within the soils, drainage issues, roots from trees, plumbing leaks and/or erosion.
Although the cause for the movement within the soils (and consequently the foundation) can vary, the most common and most effective solution deemed necessary typically consists of installing piers which can be steel, hybrid, or concrete pressed piers with rebar.
Sticking doors, cracked floors, and leaning walls are a few signs that your home’s foundation is in need of repair.
If there’s one thing a homeowner doesn’t want to hear, it’s that their foundation is failing. Some foundation problems are minor and may be fixed by yourself, while others are more complicated and require the assistance of a professional.
The good news is that most foundations may be repaired and restored to their original condition—or better—if identified early.

Concrete pressed pilings locked with steel eliminates the possibility of lateral movement. Deep steel piers driven directly below your home or business foundation gives more depth into the soils, doing away with the need for troublesome brackets that clamp onto the home. We do every pier 6000 to 12000 PSI per pier to achieve maximum depth with both concrete and steel piers.

DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS
Drainage is typically needed when there are issues with standing water around a property. Pooling water in a yard, driveway, or roadway, is a potential safety hazard and can cause excessive seasonal foundation movement including heaving. If your foundation heaves, it may be necessary to install a surface drain, a French drain, or a combination of both. Innovative Foundation Repair will develop a customized solution that is specific to the needs of your home.
ROOT BARRIERS INSTALLATION
Root barriers can become especially necessary in areas with expansive clay soil. A root barrier is an underground wall that is installed to protect foundations and other structures from tree root damage. If you need to contain or block roots from any plant to prevent serious problems with your foundation, then a root barrier system can be designed and installed.
