Foundation Repair In Burlington

Project Overview.

A Burlington homeowner started noticing symptoms of foundation movement throughout their property, along with signs pointing to underlying structural causes. Because early diagnosis matters most with foundation issues, they turned to Aquatech for a full foundation repair solution designed to address both the visible symptoms and the root cause for lasting stability.

Challenges:

Visible Symptoms of Foundation Movement: Cracks and shifting throughout the home pointed to an underlying structural problem.
Underlying Root Cause Needed Diagnosis: The homeowner needed a precise diagnosis, not just a surface-level patch, to fully resolve the issue.
Minimizing Disruption to the Property: Any repair method needed to avoid excessive disturbance to the surrounding landscaping and structure.
Preventing Future Moisture-Related Damage: Beyond stabilization, the repair needed to guard against future water intrusion through the same cracks.

Materials Used

Helical piers for foundation stabilization
Push piers for structural support
Wall anchors for bowing wall correction
Hydraulic cement for crack repair
Crystalline waterproofing admixture
PVC waterstop for joint sealing

Solutions Implemented:

Thorough Inspection: First, our initial site visit included a complete evaluation of the foundation, using advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the extent and specific locations of the damage.
Underpinning and Leveling: Next, we implemented a strategic underpinning process using helical piers, known for their strength and minimal disturbance to the surrounding area, precisely lifting and stabilizing the foundation back to its original position.
Crack Repair and Waterproofing: After stabilization, we meticulously repaired and sealed all external and internal cracks, then applied a waterproofing treatment to prevent future moisture-related deterioration.
Final Verification: Finally, we confirmed the foundation’s stability and resealed all treated areas to ensure long-lasting protection.

After we completed the repair, the foundation regained its stability, and the homeowner no longer had to worry about ongoing structural movement. Because the helical pier method caused minimal disruption, the surrounding landscaping remained largely untouched throughout the process.

In addition, the applied waterproofing treatment protects the repaired areas from future moisture damage. The work is backed by Aquatech’s lifetime warranty, giving the homeowner lasting confidence in their home’s stability.
