Foundation Footing Settlement

There’s a number of factors that can cause foundation settling. One of the most common is when clay soil around the foundation shifts. To resolve the problem our team can install supportive piers to strengthen your home’s foundation, which prevents more settling.

Bowing Basement Walls and Basement Wall Cracks

These basement problems are frequently the result of clay soil expansion. Pivotal’s solutions can include the installation of tieback anchors or soldier columns. These provide durable reinforcement to your foundation’s walls. In some situations, we may need to do some excavation or apply relief systems to fully resolve the problem.

Basement Water Problems

Likewise, with foundation settlement, there are many things that can allow water to get into your basement. For example, hydrostatic pressure, external water issues, and cracks in the foundation are among the prime culprits. Our solution can range from installing drainage systems and sump pumps to cleaning your foundation’s mortar joints. Whatever the cause may be, our experienced techs will identify it and apply prompt solutions.

Basement Waterproofing

Waterproofing is critical for residential basements. There are a number of common signs that homeowners should know that call for immediate solutions. For example, wet carpet around the perimeter of the foundation's walls, rotted wall frowning, and water-damaged drywall are clear signs of waterproofing issues. However, there are also other signs to watch for that are not always as obvious right away. If you see any of the below examples, call the basement waterproofing experts at Pivotal Basement Solutions.
