Foundation Repair for Perry homeowners
Perry has two kinds of foundation work. There are the older homes around the downtown square on brick pier and beam construction, where the repair happens under the floor and involves resetting or rebuilding piers. And there are the newer slab homes on the outskirts, where a settled footing needs piers driven beneath it.
The soil is the common factor. Sandy clay between Big Indian Creek and Flat Creek takes water in and holds it, and on the low side of a lot the ground under a footing stays saturated for weeks at a time. Saturated ground carries less load, and a footing sitting on it eventually finds a new level.
We measure the house before proposing anything. Floor elevations through every room show the shape of the movement, and the crack pattern shows where it started. From there the repair is either piers under a slab footing or pier work under a crawl space, and the drainage that fed the problem gets corrected either way.
Every Perry home gets the same foundation repair scope, and the written price says exactly what that covers.
