New Orleans Foundation Repair
Unfortunately, foundation repair is often a necessity in New Orleans. Due to the amount of rain that we receive and the soil conditions in the New Orleans area, foundations sometimes fail. It is important to catch and repair these problems quickly to prevent any further damage to your home. If you suspect you have problems, you should contact a foundation repair contractor immediately. Fortunately, there are some signs that will alert you of a failing foundation. These often but not always include uneven or dipping floors and windows and doors becoming difficult to open and operate. Cracks in interior and exterior walls also can be signs that your property may be experiencing foundation problems. Foundation repair in New Orleans can be costly if not taken care of quickly and by a qualified foundation repair company like the experts at Orleans Foundation Repair.

The severity of the problem and type of foundation will dictate the method of repair needed. The cause of the problem must first be identified before a plausible solution can be offered. Once the underlying problem is identified, Our Company offers multiple solutions to foundation problems including the following:
- Push Piles- Push piles are cylindrical cement about 6” around and 12” high that are pushed into the ground individually and locked together until they hit hard soil and then are used to support and elevate portions of your foundation
- Spot-Piers- Spot piers are hand dug piers that are poured with concrete and used to support light loaded areas such as porches and decks and repaired floors and rim joists.
- High Density Polyurethane Foam- This is a new technology used on concrete slabs. Foam is injected in a grid pattern to lift and support portions of concrete. This is often a feasible option due to the lack of intrusion and the quickness that repairs can be applied. Careful attention must be made to underground plumbing and services when using foam.
- Steel Piers- These can be used in place of concrete piers, and they can be installed quicker and cause less damage to landscape than concrete.
- Wood Foundation- If your house is built above ground, rot and wood destroying insect can cause major damage to your structure. Our technicians can remove and replace existing pieces without disturbing the integrity of your home.
Most of these repairs can take place quickly and without much disturbance to the outside and landscape of your home.
