Foundation Repair In Hamilton

Project Overview.

A Hamilton homeowner faced severe foundation issues caused by significant settlement, resulting in noticeable cracks and misaligned doors and windows throughout the home. Because they were concerned about the structural integrity and impact on their property’s value, they turned to Aquatech for a dependable foundation repair solution built to correct the root cause for good.

Challenges:

  • Significant Foundation Settlement: Uneven settling had caused the foundation to shift, threatening the home’s structural stability.
  • Misaligned Doors and Windows: Shifting throughout the home had thrown doors and windows out of alignment, a visible sign of deeper structural movement.
  • Visible Foundation Cracks: Cracking in the foundation walls pointed to ongoing structural stress requiring immediate attention.
  • Risk to Property Value: Left unaddressed, the settlement issues threatened both the safety and resale value of the home.

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:

  1. Comprehensive Evaluation: First, our expert team conducted a thorough inspection to fully assess the extent of the foundation damage, identifying soil conditions and water impact as primary causes.
  2. Underpinning with Steel Piers: Next, we used heavy-duty steel piers driven deep into stable soil layers to stabilize the foundation, lifting and restoring it to its original condition.
  3. Crack Repair: We then sealed all visible foundation cracks with durable sealants, restoring structural integrity and preventing further moisture intrusion.
  4. Hydrostatic Pressure Relief: We also installed a perimeter drainage system around the foundation to alleviate hydrostatic pressure and channel water safely away.
  5. Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustment: Finally, we implemented a monitoring system to continuously track the foundation’s stability, allowing for future adjustments if soil conditions change.
