Comprehensive Foundation Repair Services
At AMC911, we offer a comprehensive range of foundation and crawl space repair services, including:
Foundation Repair
- Foundation Leveling: This process involves evaluating and correcting any unevenness or instability in a building’s foundation. Techniques such as hydraulic jacks or underpinning with piers are used to ensure the structure is level and stable, preventing further damage and preserving the building’s integrity.
- Foundation Crack Repair: We detect, evaluate, and repair cracks in your property’s foundation. This involves steps like injecting epoxy or polyurethane foam to seal the crack, thus restoring the structural integrity of the foundation and preventing further issues.
- Epoxy Injection Crack Repair: High-strength epoxy resin not only seals cracks but also restores the structural strength of concrete, making it essential for repairing damaged foundations, walls, and other concrete elements.
- Push Pier Installation: Steel push piers are driven deep into the ground until they reach stable soil or bedrock, supporting and stabilizing the foundation to prevent further settlement or movement.
- Helical Pier Installation: Helical piers are screwed into the ground to provide foundation support for various structures. Quick to install with minimal disturbance, they are ideal for stabilizing foundations in different soil conditions.
- Foundation Inspections: We conduct a comprehensive assessment of your building’s foundation to check its structural integrity, identify signs of damage or wear, and recommend the necessary repairs or maintenance.
Waterproofing Solutions
- Interior And Exterior Waterproofing: These are comprehensive strategies to protect your property from water damage. This includes sealing basements, crawl spaces, and foundations to prevent leaks and moisture intrusion, ensuring your property stays dry and secure.
- Crawl Space Waterproofing: This service protects the crawl space beneath your home from water and moisture intrusion. It typically involves installing vapor barriers, insulation, drainage systems, and sump pumps to prevent mold, mildew, and structural damage. Proper waterproofing ensures a healthier living environment and can boost the durability and value of your home.
- Crawl Space Dehumidifiers: Dehumidifiers reduce moisture levels in crawl spaces, preventing mold growth, wood rot, and other moisture-related issues. They maintain a dry environment, protecting your home’s structural integrity and improving indoor air quality, especially ideal for humid climates or damp areas.
- Sump Pumps: Sump pumps are vital for preventing flooding and water damage by pumping water away from your property, keeping the environment dry and safe. They can be powered by electricity or a backup battery system, offering peace of mind during heavy rainfall or power outages. Regular maintenance is crucial for their reliability and efficiency.
- Drain Tile: A trench drain filled with gravel or rock containing a perforated pipe that redirects surface and groundwater away from an area. Drain tile systems are commonly used to prevent flooding, manage water runoff, and reduce moisture in basements and crawl spaces. They protect foundations, prevent soil erosion, and maintain a dry, stable environment.
Crawl Space Repair
- Crawl Space Encapsulation: Encapsulation involves sealing the crawl space with a vapor barrier to keep out moisture, mold, and pests. This improves air quality, energy efficiency, and overall home durability.
- Crawl Space Jacks: These adjustable steel jacks provide additional stability and support, helping to prevent sagging floors and structural damage by evenly distributing weight and reinforcing the home’s foundation.
- Sagging Floor Repair: Uneven or sinking floors are often corrected by reinforcing underlying structures such as joists or beams, and potentially adding extra support to restore the floor to a stable, level condition.
Additional Services
- Chimney Repair: We offer thorough chimney repair services, including inspecting your chimney for damage, fixing cracks or structural issues, and ensuring that it is safe and functional for use.
- Brick restoration: Does your brickwork need a makeover? Our brick restoration service cleans, repairs, and revitalizes old or damaged bricks to maintain their structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. This may involve repointing mortar joints, replacing damaged bricks, and applying protective treatments to enhance durability and appearance.
