Foundation Repair for Centerville homeowners
Almost every home in Centerville sits on a graded lot from the last forty years. Grading means cut on one side and fill on the other, and a house that spans both is sitting on two different materials with two different behaviors.
The cut side is undisturbed soil and it generally holds. The fill side keeps compacting for years, sometimes decades, and anything bearing on it goes down with it. That is why so much of the settlement we see here is on one half of a house while the other half has never moved.
The repair drives piers through the fill to material that will carry the load, then lifts that half of the structure back toward the elevation of the stable side. We measure floor elevations through the house first so the lift is planned in advance, and we look at drainage at the same time, since water in the fill accelerates the whole process.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Centerville home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.
