Foundation Correction

Foundation correction is crucial for maintaining the safety and stability of your home.

Aquilina Contracting offers a range of services to address common foundation issues, such as settling, bowing walls, and cracks.

Foundation Concrete Underpinning

Foundation concrete underpinning is a specialized process used to strengthen and stabilize foundations that have shifted, settled, or weakened over time. By extending the foundation deeper into more stable soil or bedrock, underpinning provides extra support to prevent further movement or damage. This method is essential for homes experiencing foundation failure, ensuring long-term stability and preventing costly structural issues.

Foundation Wall Stabilization

Foundation wall stabilization is a crucial process for reinforcing walls that have begun to bow, lean, or crack due to pressure from the surrounding soil. Techniques like wall anchors, carbon fiber straps, or steel beams are used to restore the wall's strength and prevent further movement. This process helps protect your home from structural damage and ensures long-term safety.

Foundation Pier Installation

Foundation pier installation is a method used to stabilize and lift foundations that have settled or shifted due to soil movement. Steel piers are driven deep into stable ground, transferring the weight of the home to more secure soil layers. This helps restore the foundation to its original position, preventing any further settlement.

Drainage Correction

Drainage correction involves adjusting and improving the flow of water around your property to prevent pooling and water damage. By installing systems like French drains, grading the landscape, or adding downspout extensions, water is redirected away from your foundation and basement. Proper drainage correction helps prevent erosion, foundation issues, and basement flooding, ensuring long-term protection for your home.

Crawl Space Encapsulation

Crawl space encapsulation involves sealing off your crawl space with a durable vapor barrier to protect it from moisture, mold, and pests. By creating a controlled, dry environment, this process helps improve air quality, energy efficiency, and the overall health of your home. Encapsulation also prevents structural damage caused by excess humidity, offering long-term protection for both your foundation and living spaces.

Foundation Posts and Beams

Foundation posts and beams are critical structural elements that support the weight of your home and distribute it evenly to the ground. Over time, issues such as moisture damage, shifting soil, or wood rot can compromise these components, leading to sagging floors, uneven walls, or even structural instability. Proper maintenance and repair of posts and beams are essential to preserving the strength and safety of your home’s foundation.
