Why Foundations Settle
Understanding Foundation Movement
Foundation settlement is generally caused by movement within the soils that the foundation rests upon. The movement within these soils can be a result of various factors: drought conditions, periods of heavy rainfall, consolidation of backfilled soils that had been poorly compacted, decomposition or decay of materials within the soils, drainage issues, roots from trees, plumbing leaks, and/or erosion.
Although the cause for the movement within the soils (and consequently the foundation) can vary, the most common and most effective solution deemed necessary typically consists of installing piers, which can be steel, hybrid, or concrete pressed piers with rebar.
Sticking doors, cracked floors, and leaning walls are a few signs that your home’s foundation is in need of repair. If there’s one thing a homeowner doesn’t want to hear, it’s that their foundation is failing. Some foundation problems are minor and may be fixed by yourself, while others are more complicated and require the assistance of a professional. The good news is that most foundations may be repaired and restored to their original condition — or better — if identified early.

Slab Repair
Slab Foundation Repair
Concrete pressed pilings locked with steel or deep steel piers driven to stable soil — engineered to stop lateral movement and stabilize your slab for good.
Your home's concrete slab rests on the footing above — this is the part that stops sitting level once the soil beneath it starts to shift.
A concrete pressed piling locked with steel, or a deep steel pier, is driven directly beneath the foundation and pressed to 6,000–12,000 PSI — reaching further into the soil without relying on clamp-on brackets.
The pier is driven past the shifting surface clay into deeper, stable soil that can permanently carry the weight of your home.
Slab Repair
Slab Foundation Repair
Concrete pressed pilings locked with steel eliminates the possibility of lateral movement. Deep steel piers driven directly below your home or business foundation gives more depth into the soils, doing away with the need for troublesome brackets that clamp onto the home. We do every pier 6,000 to 12,000 PSI per pier to achieve maximum depth with both concrete and steel piers.
Pier & Beam
Pier & Beam Foundation Repair
Unfortunately, crawl space problems don’t just stay in your crawl space. If you have water damage or structural damage in your crawl space, it can impact the rest of your home. It’s important to address these problems right away to keep your home safe and protected from further damage. We’ll gladly provide a free quote and walk you through the entire repair process to answer all of your questions.
Drainage
Drainage Solutions
Drainage is typically needed when there are issues with standing water around a property. Pooling water in a yard, driveway, or roadway is a potential safety hazard and can cause excessive seasonal foundation movement, including heaving. If your foundation heaves, it may be necessary to install a surface drain, a French drain, or a combination of both. Innovative Foundation Repair will develop a customized solution that is specific to the needs of your home.
Root Barriers
Root Barriers
Root barriers can become especially necessary in areas with expansive clay soil. A root barrier is an underground wall that is installed to protect foundations and other structures from tree root damage. If you need to contain or block roots from any plant to prevent serious problems with your foundation, then a root barrier system can be designed and installed.
