Damage to a foundation can be a very serious issue as it will affect the structure throughout the rest of the home.
Problems with foundation movement should be addressed quickly and efficiently to prevent further damage down the road. Intech Anchoring products not only provide long-term strength to the foundation, but are also building code approved.
Intech Anchoring provides contractors with foundation repair solutions, including underpinning, foundation piering, slab jacking, and pier and beam repair.
Piering is a type of foundation stabilization in which the structure is supported through use of piles or piers (large beams made of steel or concrete) that are driven into the soil. Most often, piling is used for buildings that are very large and in environments where the soil that is underneath the foundation is unable to support and keep the structure from settling excessively.
If your foundation is sinking, this is most likely due to instabilities in the soil. Either from water seepage or erosion, the weight of the foundation is causing it to sink. A sinking foundation can lead to even more extensive foundation damage including foundation cracks, jammed doors and windows, sloping chimneys and ultimately a complete failure of the foundation. This is a problem that requires immediate assistance and if left untreated, will only continue to worsen. Helical piers are an excellent foundation repair solution for raising and stabilizing foundations.

Pier and beam foundations, also referred to as crawl space foundations, are common in homes that were built prior to the 1970’s and are widely used still today in areas of shallow rock or high water tables. Within the pier and beam foundation footprint, there are concrete footing piers and support beams which carry the load of the floor joist. Pier and beam foundations can settle unevenly over time, particularly in areas of seasonal change where the soil frequently expands and contracts with the moisture content of the soil. Intech Anchoring provides pier and beam foundation repair products to contractors. Learn more about Pier foundation construction here.
