When a house is first constructed, the builders dig a hole in dense virgin soil for a poured concrete foundation. After the foundation is built, the loose soil that was dug out is backfilled around the foundation. This loose soil can easily allow water to pass through and leak into your basement.

Through the years, this soil can also expand and put added pressure on your poured concrete foundation, causing cracks. Basement Systems Edmonton has a number of solutions for all of your foundation repair problems in Edmonton, AB. Our innovative foundation repair products are compatible with most home designs and can be installed with no damage to gardens, steps, porches, walkways, or other landscaping.

Crawl Space Supports for Foundation Repair

Crawl Space Jacks for Sagging Crawl Spaces

Poured concrete foundation soil shifts and settles when alternating between drying out and shrinking, and swelling from moisture. This can result in sinking columns and sagging crawl space beams, which can cause your crawl space to settle.

Improperly-spaced beams can also become overloaded and start to sag, causing the floor boards to sag as well.

Our SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizer has rugged steel support beams specifically designed to stabilize your crawl space and protect your home. They can support a vertical load of more than 60,000 pounds, and are able to level existing beams and floor joints.


Basement Wall Anchors for Foundation Repair

Cracking and bowing in poured concrete foundation walls of a house in Edmonton, St. Albert, Sherwood Park and the surrounding areas is a common problem.

Foundation cracks occur more as the lateral pressure from the soil around the foundation exceeds the home's load-bearing capacity. Our foundation repair solutions include a foundation wall anchoring system that can restore and reinforce the structural integrity of a structure.

A properly installed foundation wall anchoring system will provide a good alternative to removing and rebuilding foundation walls or using other wall bracing systems, and can be installed with minimal landscaping disruption.


Questions & Answers About Foundation Repair

How do you repair a horizontal crack in your foundation wall?

Horizontal cracks across your basement foundation walls (or stair-stepped cracking in a block foundation wall) is a common indicator that you have a foundation wall issue before it starts to actually bow. Cracked and bowing basement walls can develop immediately following construction or years later as changes occur within the soil that surrounds your home. Horizontal cracks are a structural issue and need a permanent, stabilizing solution to prevent further damage from occurring. Basement Systems Edmonton has several solutions for treating horizontal cracking, such as CarbonArmor, PowerBrace & EverBrace. These SupportWorks products are highly engineered, proven solutions that can be tailored to address these structural issues.

How do I know if my foundation needs repair?

Many types of structural damage are often caused by foundations settling, shifting soil, or pressure on the foundation. Common signs of a foundation problem include:

  • Floor and wall cracks
  • Sticking windows and doors
  • Uneven, sagging floors
  • Bowing basement walls
  • Gaps around window frames
  • Exterior bricks separating

If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a foundation inspection to address issues early and prevent further damage. Basement Systems Edmonton offers structural damage repair solutions to stabilize, fix, and reinforce foundation settlement, sagging floors, tilting/leaning walls, and more. This includes push piers, helical piers, crawl space jacks, wall anchors, the PowerBrace™ foundation wall repair system, the CarbonArmor® wall reinforcing system, and the EverBrace® wall restoration system.

Is foundation repair really necessary?

Yes, if foundation problems are left unaddressed, they will worsen over time. Small cracks or slight settling can lead to severe structural damage, dangerous conditions in the home, and expensive, disruptive repairs. Foundation problems can also impact your house's resale value and energy efficiency, and cause water intrusion or mold growth.

A foundation inspection can help you catch issues early, so repairs will be less expensive and invasive. Basement Systems Edmonton offers permanent foundation repair solutions, including push piers, helical piers, crawl space jacks, and more that install without major disruption and restore stability and value to your property.

What are helical piers and push piers?

Push piers and helical piers are deep foundation support systems designed to stabilize and lift settling or sinking foundations by transferring the structural load to stable soil or bedrock. While they may address the same problem, they operate differently, are used in different soils, and are meant for certain structural conditions.

  • Helical piers, also known as helical piles or screw piles, have large spiral blades that mechanically screw into the ground. They are used for lighter structures or looser soils because they don't rely on the structure's weight for installation. This method can be used for foundation repairs or new construction applications.
  • Push piers are long steel tubs that drive straight into the soil under the foundation and rely on the weight of the structure to push them into stable load-bearing soil. This method is better suited for heavy buildings, serious settlement, and when load-bearing soils are deep.

Both push and helical piers are permanent solutions that transfer the weight of the structure to strong, load-bearing soil to stabilize the foundation. Basement Systems Edmonton makes the right choice depending on the structure type, soil conditions, and extent of settlement.
