Yes, Polyurethane Foam Lifting can be used to stabilize residential foundation footings, provided the settlement is minor to moderate and is primarily caused by soil voids. We utilize high-density polyurethane foam injection—often referred to as polyjacking—to fill those voids directly beneath the footings and lift settled concrete back into its original position.
This method offers several distinct advantages for residential properties:
While foam is an excellent, cost-effective solution for many homeowners, it is important to note that if footing settlement indicates deeper structural failure, alternative methods like Helical Piers or full underpinning may be required. As a family-owned and operated business since 1996, we provide custom assessments to determine which solution offers the superior performance your home needs.
All information is for general purposes; actual outcomes depend on site conditions. We recommend consulting a licensed structural engineer for definitive diagnosis. Estimates are preliminary until confirmed by an on-site inspection.
A musty smell in a basement is often one of the first signs of basement perimeter drain system failure. When these systems fail to function correctly, they can no longer provide necessary hydrostatic pressure relief, leading to moisture issues that…
Water pooling at the cove joint—the area where your basement floor meets the foundation wall—is typically a sign of basement perimeter drain system failure. When your perimeter drain (also known as a French drain or footing drain) fails, it can…
Identifying a basement perimeter drain system failure early is critical to preventing significant structural damage. When these systems—often called French drains or footing drains—fail due to sediment clogging, pipe collapse, or improper slope, they no longer provide the necessary hydrostatic…
A constantly running sump pump is a strong indicator that your drainage system is under significant stress and may be struggling to manage a basement perimeter drain system failure. A sump pump is designed to actively remove groundwater that would…
When a weeping tile (or perimeter drain system) fails due to a clog or collapse, it can no longer provide essential hydrostatic pressure relief. This leads to several distinct warning signs: Failures typically occur when sediment and fine debris accumulate…
