Foundation Repair
The foundation of your home has a huge responsibility. It needs to be strong and structurally sound to uphold the entire house and all its contents. If your foundation is cracked, settling, or suffering from other damage, the safety of the rest of your house and your family is at risk.
Our area’s silty soil and frequent rains often work against your foundation, but the experienced professionals at Ohio Basement Authority know how to combat them. Our solutions and services have earned numerous accolades and praise. We have been helping homeowners in Columbus and surrounding areas permanently repair their foundations for more than 10 years. We are ready to help you, as well.
The Ohio Basement Authority Process
Foundation Problem Signs
Foundation damage is often complex. There are several evident problem signs you will notice such as wall cracks, bowing basement walls, and uneven floors. Others, including cracking and leaning chimneys, sticking doors and windows, drywall nail pops, and foundation settlement, can go unnoticed yet be indicative of more serious issues. Foundation damage will merely worsen, become more dangerous, and be more expensive to fix over time. If you’re in doubt, contact your local foundation repair specialists at Ohio Basement Authority to thoroughly evaluate your home’s foundation.
Causes of Foundation Damage
Your home’s foundation problems might result from a variety of factors. However, the most common causes stem from the soil. Our area’s soil is primarily silty, but it also contains some degrees of clay and sand. It may or may not quickly drain water from the region’s frequent precipitation – an average of 40 inches of rain and 22 inches of snow annually – so the soil is typically wet and unstable. Unsteady, expanding, moist soil exacerbates the clay bowl effect and hydrostatic pressure, two phenomena that cause foundations to crack and leak.
Foundation Repair Solutions
Depending on your home’s foundation type, the extent of the damage, and other factors, your home will benefit from a number of foundation repair solutions. If the foundation is settling, piering or underpinning methods like helical piers or push piers permanently stabilize and can possibly lift the structure. Carbon fiber straps reinforce cracking and bowing walls, and wall anchors or specialized wall repair beams can straighten walls over time. Additionally, crawl space support posts reinforce and can help lift sagging floors and floor joists. Everything we install is customizable and protected by transferrable, long-term, nationally backed warranties.
