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.
The cost of helical pier installation is influenced by several site-specific and technical variables. Because no two properties have identical ground conditions or structural needs, pricing is typically determined through custom quotes rather than flat rates. Key factors influencing the…
The manufacturing, testing, and installation of commercial helical piers are governed by several specific ASTM International standards to ensure structural integrity and predictable performance. These include:ASTM F3143-18: This serves as the primary standard for commercial helical piles, establishing minimum requirements…
Based on the provided content, there are eight primary causes of foundation failure and structural distress:Poor Drainage and Water Accumulation: This occurs when water pools near the foundation due to improper grading, clogged gutters, or short downspout extensions, which can…
The load capacities for commercial helical piles are determined through a systematic combination of engineering analysis and real-time installation data. Rather than a single fixed value, capacity is verified using the following methods:Torque-to-Capacity Correlation: During installation, rotary equipment records the…
Under a Tower Hill Insurance policy, damage must meet a specific structural threshold to qualify as a covered sinkhole loss. Coverage typically applies to the building and its foundation when settlement or cracking is directly attributed to sinkhole activity (subterranean…
