Slab Foundation Repair
lab
Foundations, sometimes calls slab-on-grade, are concrete pads
poured right on the ground and your home is built directly on
top of the slab. The slab is usually no more that 4"-8" thick, sometimes
with a small wedge (or footing) on the perimeter of the slab.
Many factors can affect your slab foundation's health. Please click here to read about these factors. If you have determined that you have a problem, we can help you determine which perimeter foundation solution is appropriate for your home.
Pressure Grouting
Pressure Grouting is the direct pressure injection of a fluid grout into the ground to fill voids or displace soft soils. Grouting can improve the strength of the ground to support your homes foundation.
Pressure Grouting can also be used to fill sinkholes, stabilize granular soils, and fill trash pits.
Injection methods and materials vary based on soil types. Contact the pressure grouting experts at Barrier to learn more.
Mud Jacking w/ Slab Jacks
Mud Jacking, or Pressure Grouting, is the direct pressure injection of a fluid grout into the ground to fill voids or displace soft soils.
Slab jacks are mechanical devices, usually hand operated, that braces and lifts a subsided slab to a desired level.
Used in conjunction, these techniques will restore your slab to the desired level and prevent further cracking and sagging.
Remove and Replacement of Slabs and Foundation Soils
The ground underneath your home should be strong enough to support the weight of your home, its contents, and your family. If it's not, we can help you replace your foundation soil with a suitable material that can. If necessary, we can remove and replace a portion or all of your slab.
Sump Pumps in Slab
Sump pumps are designed to turn on/off when the water level reaches a pre-determined depth.
Installing a sump pump can ensure the soil under your foundation doesn't loose strength or expand and cause cracking.
Helical Piers or Micropiles for Slab Support
Helical Piers are piles that are screwed and anchored into the ground beneath your home. The depth of the pier depends on the suitability of the ground to carry the desired load.
Micropiles are small diameter friction piles. Each pile, usually steel, is drilled into the ground and then "locked" in place, usually with cement grout. Micropiles can be installed quickly in almost every type of soil.
After the piers are installed, brackets are attached to the slab and the pier to provide the required foundation support.
