Shield Foundation Repair is the only company that can literally lift a house off its foundation and move it 3 feet or all the way to the end of the lot and back over its new foundation. In fact, we’re the company other contractors use for this project. These jobs require a lot of skill, as well as techniques requiring years of training and expertise. When you need an expert, call an expert. Call Shield Foundation Repair.Quick facts:
- We use the most up to date laser levels to see which areas need to get raised first, which need to get raised together, and which have risen too high.
- Shield Foundation Repair knows that raising sections of a home out of order, or against the needs of the home, can result in catastrophic damage.
- A sinking foundation is only one of the many foundation issues including foundation cracks or foundation upheaval that can get extensive and more dangerous with time if neglected.
- Some soil types undergo contraction when the surrounding area is dry. This is because the soil loses water molecules and dries out, causing the constituents of the soil to shrink and creating spaces between the soil particles. If the soil is of a type that undergoes major contractions due to decreases in water levels (clay soil for example) it will cause the foundation to sink.
Removing & Replacing Foundation Walls/Floors
