Brick Separation Around Outdoor Walls.

Take a walk around the house and check; do you see any cracks in or between the bricks?  While sometimes these can be purely cosmetic, most of the time cracks are an indication of foundation settling and shifting under your walls.

A fireplace with a chimney on the outside wall is a good place to start looking.  Another place to look for separation is around your slab perimeter and around the windows or doors frames.  We are including some examples of issues we have fixed in the past.  Let us know if we can help with any evaluation of your current situation.

Find A Good Company To Avoid Foundation Repairs Issues.

When the residence is affected by foundation problems, residences have to choose a foundation repair company carefully. Here are some tips of help from the pro's at premierfoundationrepair.com.

Dallas, TX April  2012

Once homeowners suspect that the residence may have foundation problems the solutions are often confusing and contradictory. Regarding the methodology of the foundation repairs, homeowners should keep in mind that the drilled piers systems is oldest method in use almost always the only method recommended by structural engineers for large commercial application a high-rise buildings, highways, airports, etc.

Once the homeowners have selected the correct method to fix the foundation, choosing the company to carry out the repairs is just as critical and confusing. Obviously, the method of the repairs as good as the company carrying out the repairs and completing the job.

The different companies advertisement and sales pitches are often confusing and do not state the exact process and responsibilities for the foundation repair project.

Homeowners should always ask for references and check the standing with the local Better Business Bureau for any issues the company may have left unresolved.

Sometime the response to an customer issue is just as important as the issue itself.

If possible, the homeowners should find a previous project the company completed that is similar to their own situation and inquire about the outcome of that project.

Also, the homeowner should make sure that the selected company has a clear and transferable warranty. The fine prints should be read and understood completely and the company should address any issues or questions the homeowner may have before starting with the project.

Finally, the longevity of the company selected is of the utmost importance. A company that has been in business locally from many years, sometime decades, will most likely have a track record of success and the experience necessary to successfully complete the foundation repairs. No promises or warranties can be honored if the company is no longer in business should issues arise for the homeowner

Preventing Foundation Repairs

Preventing foundation repairs in Dallas is not an easy task due to the very expansive soils and the dramatic weather conditions. To help, the professionals at Premier Foundation Repair in Dallas (http://www.premierfoundationrepair.com) have been using a proprietary solution based on a proven, recorded method.

Even with the heat wave over, North Texas homeowners can't afford to let their guards down. Due to lack of any considerable rain, their home's foundations are still under constant stress caused by the shrinking soils. Homeowners can now make use of a widely known solution, routinely used in commercial constructions projects, soil stabilization.

The technique of soil stabilization allows the homeowners to be proactive in modifying the clay’s behavior and therefore preventing foundation repairs “The properties and effectiveness of these chemicals has been confirmed and consequentially applied in commercial building projects since the late 1950s.” – says Julie from Premier Foundation Repair Inc in Dallas, Texas.

As early as 1958-1960 several studies had been brought to completion showing how the proper application of these safe chemicals (mostly a combination of lime-fly ash and other compounds), did in fact improve, and stabilize, Texas' expansive soils.

By 1970, the U.S. Air Force had developed the Soil Stabilization Index System (SSIS) which was originally introduced by Texas A&M. Today civil engineers incorporate these techniques in almost every major public work, particularly highway building and airports where large areas on concrete rely on the grounds for direct support.

Most homeowners are not aware that this option is available to them, and often are not presented with such solutions by the local foundation repairs companies. At a consumer level, soil stabilization can be used for a residence's foundation but also for in-ground pools, driveways, patio slabs and other situations where the swelling and shrinking of the ground can cause damage to the structure.

Premier Foundation Repair Inc in Dallas strongly recommends homeowners to consider it - "Foundation repairs in Dallas can be costly and can sometimes reduce the value of the property if not addressed promptly. Homeowners should consult with a local foundation repair and soil stabilization company to explore the possibility of taking a proactive stance, rather than reacting once the damage has already taken place".

The residential application is mostly done with high pressure injection rods and results are obtained with little disturbance to the residence or the structure in question. The process is clean and expedient without any inconvenience for the homeowner. The chemicals are completely safe and proven to be effective for at least 60 years.

In case of new constructions, the soil stabilization process should be done before the structure is put in place for optimum results.
