Foundation Repair of Western Colorado, LLC Provides Foundation Repair Solutions

Damage to your home's foundation can develop following construction or years later as changes occur within the soils that surround and support your home.

All of the stabilization systems offered by Foundation Foundation Repair of Western Colorado, LLC are manufactured to the highest standards. Some of the benefits of our systems include:

• Year-round installation capabilities
• Corrosion resistance
• Restoration or increase of property value.

Foundation Repair of Western Colorado, LLC uses galvanized steel in their foundation repair products. The Journal of Light Construction reports test data indicating that in moderately to highly corrosive soils, this material should last 75 years or more, and should last for hundreds of years in less corrosive soils.

Push Pier Systems

Utilizing hydraulically driven tube sections and foundation pier brackets made from industrial strength steel, the Foundation Supportworks Push Pier Systems transfers the weight of your home from unstable soil, through the piers, to competent soil or bedrock.  Used in both residential and commercial applications, pier installation can be completed year-round, does not require the use of heavy equipment, and can be installed quickly. Push Pier Systems stabilize settled foundations and in most cases, can lift the structure back to its original position.

• Piers are load tested during installation.
• Piers reach greater depth than any other option.
• Does not require the use of heavy equipment.

Helical Pier Systems

Helical Pier Systems are another alternative for stabilizing settled foundations.  Helical piers are installed by mechanically "screwing" them into the soil.  Because the installation of helical piers does not rely on the weight of the structure for a reaction, they can be installed to appropriate depths and capacities to assure the permanent stabilization of your foundation.  Helical pier systems are also used as an alternative to Push Pier Systems on projects involving light structures.  In addition, helical piers are widely used in new construction applications.  Helical piers are typically installed using small construction equipment and can even be installed with hand equipment in tight spaces.

• Round shaft has a high resistance to bending.
• Suitable for both heavy and light loads.
• Does not rely on the weight of the structure for depth and capacity.
• Reduced mess and excavation in and around the home.

The Journal of Light Construction states that compared to rebuilding a concrete foundation, installing helical piers is much faster, usually taking at least a week or two less than the alternative.

Slab Pier Systems

A settling concrete slab can cause major problems in a home including trip hazards, cracks in drywall, and doors that do not open and close properly. Slab Pier Systems provide long-term solutions for this problem by using engineered methods to transfer the weight of your concrete slab to deep, competent strata.

• Deep solution that goes beyond troubled soil.
• Can lift heavier loads such as bearing walls.
• Minimally invasive, quick installation.

Crawl Space Supports

Crawl spaces are often easily damaged when they settle due to sinking columns and sagging crawl space beams.  These problems are caused when foundation soils begin to shift and settle as the soil dries out and shrinks and moistens and swells.    Additionally, improperly-spaced beams often become overloaded, causing them and the floor boards they support to sag under their burden.  Compounding these problems are the mold and rot that can often form in a damp, humid crawl space.

To address this, Foundation Supportworks offers the SmartJack Crawl Space Stabilizer.  These rugged steel support beams are specifically designed to restabilize the crawl space and protect the home from further damage.

• Formed with rugged galvanized steel beams and heavy duty threaded rods
• Able to both level and stabilize existing beams and floor joists
• Supports a vertical load of more than 60,000 pounds

Problems in a crawl space extend into the entire home, and Foundation Supportworks has the solution for you.  We offer free, no-obligation estimates for your crawl space repair and support needs!

Basement Wall Anchors

Properly installed, a foundation wall anchoring system will restore and reinforce the structural integrity of a residential or commercial foundation structure.  As lateral pressure from the earth around a foundation exceed the load-bearing capacity of a structure, cracking and bowing will happen in the walls, which can severely weaken the home's support base.

• Provides a reliable alternative to removing and rebuilding foundation walls
• An effective and cost-effective alternative to other wall bracing systems
• Reinforced galvanized steel design corrects and stabilizes the foundation
• Installed with minimal disruption of landscaping.

A homeowner with foundation walls that are cracking, bowing or buckling will find that installing Foundation Supportworks' wall anchors will allow for an effective repair without the need to remove and reinstall the foundation.  They are compatible with most home designs and install with no damage to gardens, steps, porches, walkways, or other landscaping.
