Foundation Repair for Macon homeowners
Macon straddles the Fall Line, so a foundation here is sitting on one of two very different soils. North and west of downtown it is Piedmont clay that swells when it takes on water and shrinks in a dry August. South and east toward the Ocmulgee it is Coastal Plain sand that carries load well until water washes fines out from under a footing.
The symptoms upstairs look the same either way. Doors that stop latching in one season and work again in another. A stair step crack opening in brick veneer near a corner. A floor that reads level along one wall and drops half an inch by the middle of the room. Those are all a foundation telling you the support under it has changed.
We start by measuring. Floor elevations through the house and the crack pattern together show where the movement started. Then the repair matches the cause. Piers driven to load bearing strata under settled footings, pier and beam supports reset and shimmed where the crawl space allows it, and cracks closed once the movement has stopped. Written price before any work begins.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Macon home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.
