Comprehensive Foundation Repair Services
At AMC911, we provide a full range of foundation and crawl space services designed to protect and maintain the structural integrity of your home. Our services include:
Foundation Repair
- Foundation Leveling: This process involves evaluating and correcting unevenness or instability in a building’s foundation. We use techniques like hydraulic jacks or underpinning with piers to level and secure the structure, preventing further damage and maintaining its stability.
- Foundation Crack Repair: We identify and repair cracks in your foundation, using methods like epoxy or polyurethane foam injection to seal the cracks and restore the structure’s integrity.
- Epoxy Injection Crack Repair: High-strength epoxy resin is used to both seal cracks and restore the structural strength of concrete, making it an essential method for fixing foundations, walls, and other concrete elements.
- Push Pier Installation: Steel push piers are driven deep into stable soil or bedrock to support and stabilize the foundation, preventing further settlement or movement.
- Helical Pier Installation: Helical piers are screwed into the ground to provide quick, minimally invasive foundation support, ideal for various soil conditions.
- Foundation Inspections: We conduct detailed inspections of your foundation, assessing its condition and recommending necessary repairs or maintenance to ensure long-term stability.
Waterproofing Solutions
- Interior And Exterior Waterproofing: These solutions protect your property from water damage by sealing basements, crawl spaces, and foundations to prevent leaks and moisture intrusion, ensuring your home remains dry and secure.
- Crawl Space Waterproofing: This involves installing vapor barriers, insulation, drainage systems, and sump pumps to protect your crawl space from moisture and water. Proper waterproofing prevents mold, mildew, and structural damage, creating a healthier living environment and enhancing property durability and value.
- Crawl Space Dehumidifiers: Dehumidifiers reduce moisture levels in crawl spaces, preventing mold, wood rot, and moisture-related damage. They protect your home’s structure and improve indoor air quality, making them ideal for homes in humid or damp climates.
- Sump Pumps: Essential for preventing flooding, sump pumps remove water from your property to maintain a dry, safe environment. Powered by electricity or a backup battery, they offer reliable protection during heavy rain or power outages, ensuring peace of mind.
- Drain Tile: Drain tile systems use perforated pipes in gravel trenches to redirect groundwater, preventing flooding and moisture buildup in basements and crawl spaces. These systems protect foundations, prevent erosion, and maintain a dry, stable environment.
Crawl Space Repair
- Crawl Space Encapsulation: This process seals the crawl space with a vapor barrier to block moisture, mold, and pests. Encapsulation improves air quality, boosts energy efficiency, and enhances the home’s overall durability.
- Crawl Space Jacks: Adjustable steel jacks are installed to add extra support and stability. They help prevent sagging floors and structural damage by evenly distributing weight and reinforcing the foundation.
- Sagging Floor Repair: Sinking or uneven floors can be corrected by reinforcing the structure beneath, such as joists or beams, and adding support to restore the floor’s stability and levelness.
Additional Services
- Chimney Repair: Our chimney repair service includes a thorough inspection to identify damage, followed by repairs to cracks or structural issues, ensuring your chimney is safe and fully functional.
- Brick Restoration: If your brickwork needs a refresh, we offer cleaning, repair, and rejuvenation services to maintain its structural integrity and appearance. This includes repointing mortar joints, replacing damaged bricks, and applying protective treatments to enhance both durability and aesthetics.
