Is your House sinking? Are your doors not opening easily?  Do you have large spaces between your floors and baseboards? Do you have cracks in your walls and ceiling? These can be caused my movement in the foundation or the structure of your home. Before any repairs can be made, the cause of these problems must be determined. Structural problems can be caused by improper installation, weather related problems such as soil subsidence and rot, wood destroying insects, leaking pipes or improper rain discharge. Most of these problems must be fixed before anything can be done to fix the foundation or structural problem.

A house can become unlevel for multiple reasons. Once the problem is identified, our team at Orleans Foundation Repair will work with the homeowners to fix these problems and then come up with a solution to repair any structural or foundation problems that were created. The Foundation Repair contractor will assess the problem and offer multiple repair options to the homeowner. If your house has become un-level, push piles can be used to raise your house back to level. During this process, additional walls can become damaged, and doors and windows may have to be reset. Our team offers repair solutions for this, or the homeowner can contract their own licensed contractors to handle these repairs.

Please understand that the longer the home has been unlevel, the more cosmetic damage will be caused when fixing the problem. This can cause an added expense to the repair process. Walls and ceilings can crack as well as floors buckling or popping up. While this is normal, we feel that an owner should be informed of the possibilities of these aftereffects of house leveling. Once a house is level, interior repairs will be made in coordination with a homeowner. Homeowners will be responsible for covering any additional cost of damage due to the house leveling process.Orleans Foundation Repair will work closely with your Insurance agency to cover any cost if applicable.
