The Guide to All Things Foundation Repair

You may have noticed small cracks in your home’s foundation but didn’t read into it too much.  While the crack may appear small, it does not do justice to the potential for severe foundation issues and expensive costs if the issue is not addressed immediately.  Foundation is arguably the most important part of the home and should not be taken lightly.  Basement Systems of Indiana focuses on the health, safety, and value of your home with a variety of effective foundation repair solutions such as our pier systems. Horizontal or vertical wall cracks, "stair-step" or diagonal cracking, bulging, buckling foundation walls, or pushing in at the bottom or top of the wall are all common examples of foundation wall cracks that we deal with everyday in Central Indiana.

Because there may be several different causes as to why you have foundation issues, we have several unique solutions that fit all your home’s needs.  Our Supportworks Helical Pier System may be just what you need to restore your home’s value.  Helical Piers create a solid supporting base that transfers the weight of your home downwards to strong supporting soils, where the underlying problem often begins.  The process may sound a little scary, but installations are typically completed in less than a week and will provide you with the best results compared to other methods such as concrete underpinning. Helical piers can be installed from either the exterior or interior of your home, providing an opportunity to lift your home back to its original position by the end of the installation time.  They are also an effective solution when it comes to repairing severe “stair-step” wall cracks. 

If you’re looking for a fast-effective foundation repair solution, Helical Piers are still the answer to all your problems.  Don’t wait to have wall cracks or bowing walls addressed, as costs will only pile up and be more difficult to permanently fix.  With a 25-year warranty, we can give you the best opportunity to lift your home back to its original position. Our number one priority with our foundation repair solutions such as Helical Piers is to permanently fix your problems and restore your property value.
