Expert Foundation Repair in Edmonton, St. Albert, Red Deer & Nearby

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.

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.

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.

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.
