Foundation Problems We See in Canton
Canton sits in an area with clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That cycle can lift or lower a slab or pier & beam home. Watch for these warning signs:
Stair-step cracks in brick or mortar
Cracks in drywall, tile, or the slab
Doors and windows that stick or won’t latch
Gaps at trim, cabinets, or countertops
Sloping, bouncy, or uneven floors
A leaning chimney or separated porch
Water pooling near the foundation after rain
We look for the root cause first. Common causes are differential settlement, poor drainage, plumbing leaks under the slab, heaved soil, and crushed shims in crawl spaces. Once we know the cause, we design a repair that fits your home and your soil.
Repair Solutions That Work
Every home is different. We choose the right solution for your structure, moisture conditions, and goals. Our team uses proven systems like steel push piers, helical piers, polyurethane foam injection, pier & beam framing repair, house leveling, encapsulation and vapor barriers, and drainage correction. We take elevation readings before and after the job so you can see the change.
Slab Foundation Repair
A concrete slab can settle when soil loses support. To stabilize it, we install steel push piers or helical piers down to load-bearing strata. Strong brackets connect the piers to the footing. We drive or screw the piers to depth, then lift and secure the slab with care. Small, controlled lifts can close cracks and help doors and windows work better. If voids exist under interior slabs or garage floors, we can add polyurethane foam injection to support the concrete. It’s clean, fast, and cures quickly.
Pier & Beam Repair and House Leveling
Pier & beam homes can sag if sill plates or joists rot, shims crush, or piers shift. We replace weak wood members, add new pads or blocks, set proper pier spacing for the load, and re-shim to bring floors back into plane. If the crawl space is damp, we improve drainage and ventilation so the framing lasts longer. This careful house leveling restores comfort and function.
Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barriers
Moisture under your home can lead to rot, mold, musty air, and floor movement. Encapsulation seals the ground and crawlspace walls with a tough vapor barrier. We tape seams, seal columns, and can add a dehumidifier when needed. Lower humidity protects wood framing, improves indoor air quality, and can reduce energy use.
Concrete Leveling & Void Filling (Polyurethane Foam)
Sunken interior slabs, patios, and sidewalks can often be lifted or supported with expanding polyurethane foam. The foam fills voids, supports the concrete, and reduces future movement. Many surfaces can be used again the same day.
Drainage & Soil Management
Water control is key to a stable foundation. We reshape grades so water flows away from the house, extend downspouts, and add splash blocks. When needed, we install a French drain to collect and move water. More even soil moisture helps reduce movement over time.
