Are you noticing cracks in your walls or uneven floors in your home? These could be signs of foundation issues, which left unattended, could lead to serious structural damage. Fortunately, there are solutions to these problems, such as reblocking and underpinning, provided by experts like Precise Restumping & Underpinning.
What is Reblocking?
Reblocking, also known as restumping, is the process of replacing old, damaged, or deteriorating stumps (the foundation of your home) with new, sturdy ones. Over time, stumps can rot, shift, or settle due to various factors like soil movement, moisture, or age. This can result in uneven floors, cracked walls, and other structural issues. Reblocking involves lifting the building onto temporary supports, removing the old stumps, and replacing them with new ones to ensure the stability and safety of your home.
The Importance of Underpinning
Underpinning is another crucial foundation repair technique that addresses issues like foundation settlement or subsidence. It involves strengthening the existing foundation by extending it deeper into the ground or adding support to the existing foundation. This is typically necessary when the soil underneath the foundation is unstable or when the original foundation was not constructed correctly. Underpinning helps to stabilize the structure, prevent further damage, and restore the integrity of your home's foundation.
Pier Replacement: A Vital Component
Piers are vertical support structures that help distribute the weight of a building evenly to the ground. Over time, piers can deteriorate due to factors like corrosion, soil movement, or inadequate construction. When piers become compromised, they can no longer provide adequate support to the structure above, leading to structural instability and safety hazards. Pier replacement involves removing the old, damaged piers and installing new ones to ensure the stability and safety of the building.
