Foundation Repair for Elko homeowners
Elko homes are older and mostly on block and brick pier foundations. Those piers were laid on modest footings, sometimes on nothing more than a poured pad, and they have been carrying the house through decades of a shallow water table and sandy soil.
Sand under a footing carries weight well when it stays put. What moves it is water. On this ground the water table rises close to the surface in a wet season, and water moving through sand takes fine material with it. Over many years that undermines a pad and the pier above it settles or leans.
The repair is direct. Piers that have moved get reset or rebuilt on properly sized footings, and where the load calls for it we add helical piers to reach soil that will carry it in any season. Floors get lifted back toward level gradually. We also handle the water, because leaving it running under the house restarts the same process.
Every Elko home gets the same foundation repair scope, and the written price says exactly what that covers.
