Our polyurethane foam foundation repair method will lift your home’s foundation while also stabilizing the soil that was causing the problem in the first place.

Do I Need Foundation Repair? Common Problems to Watch For

This infographic shows you some common foundation problems that may indicate you need foundation repair.

While much of your foundation might be hidden from view, many of the symptoms of foundation damage are not. When a home doesn’t have a sturdy base to sit upon, it can start affecting almost any portion of the house, from the chimney to the basement walls, floors to ceilings, and even the porch. 

Have cracks suddenly started appearing in walls or ceilings – or in the foundation itself? Are your floors sloping? If so it might be time to contact a professional to inspect your foundation and give you an estimate on repairs.

Here is a list of just some of the symptoms of foundation failure to watch for:

When you think about stabilizing a home’s foundation, you might picture one of the more traditional methods: drilling steel rods down to the bedrock and attaching them to your house or making a large concrete column underground for the foundation to sit on.

At Airlift Concrete Experts, we have a better solution. Our patented lifting process uses an expanding polyurethane foam to lift the foundation while also compacting the surrounding soil, eliminating the voids and other issues that caused the home to settle in the first place.

Here are the steps that you can expect when Airlift’s technicians come to lift your foundation:

  1. 1. A trained specialist will determine and mark both precisely where the foam needs to be injected and the amount that will be needed to fix the foundation issues.
  2. 2. Holes less than an inch in diameter will be drilled into the concrete at the places marked earlier.
  3. 3. The two-part foam is injected. It mixes underground and expands, lifting the foundation while simultaneously compacting the soil.
  4. 4. The installers will monitor the progress, raising the foundation to within a tenth of an inch of the desired height.
  5. 5. Any extra foam is removed and the holes are sealed

Once the holes are sealed, your house will be back to normal. No need to re-landscape areas that had been trenched. No cleaning up in areas where machinery had trampled your lawn. Outside of your foundation now being level, it will be as if nothing had changed.

Advantages of Foundation Lifting – Including Being Easier on Your Bank Account

Why should you choose Airlift’s foundation lifting process over other methods of foundation repair such as steel piers? 

Foundation lifting is more cost effective

The process takes less time and equipment, and we pass that savings on to you.

Leveling a foundation with foam is far less invasive

We won’t be tearing up your landscaping or digging any trenches to attach rods to the footing of your house. The holes are small and repaired before we go.

Polyjacking takes far less time

We can finish most foundation liftings in a single day, reducing the burden on you and your household.

How long does foundation repair with foam last?

One of the best things about lifting your home’s foundation with polyurethane foam is that it is a permanent solution. The chemicals and moisture in the soil can’t break down the foam, and it stabilizes the soil under the house so that it won’t resume settling.

The process has been proven to increase the load-bearing capacity of soil.

Is Repairing a Foundation Worth it?

In short, in cases of foundation failure, paying to fix the problem isn’t an if question, it is a when question. And the longer you wait, the more problems are likely to pop up.

Remember all of those symptoms of foundation problems? You can try to fix them, but in the longer term it won’t matter. They are just going to keep coming back if you don’t fix the underlying issue. The longer you put off fixing the foundation, the more those issues will compound and potentially affect your quality of life.

According to one study, unstable soil causes more property damage than major events such as floods or earthquakes. Foundation problems can also force delays in making improvements to your home. Why finish a basement or put in new windows if the home’s damaged base will damage them?

And if you put your home on the market, not only will foundation problems scare some potential buyers away, but if the problems are severe enough, they could even affect the buyers’ ability to get a loan.
