Calgary and Southern Alberta Foundation Repair
Basement Systems Calgary is Alberta's leader in foundation stabilization and repair technology.
We have a full compliment of Grip-Tite foundation repair and stabilization systems to solve any settlement issue. There are three major problems and we can solve them all:
- Settling foundation
- Bowing, bulging or cracks in foundation or basement walls
- Unstable soils in an existing foundation or under new construction
We always offer the best solutions, but determining which one is right for your situation is something that is best decided with the help of an expert. Please call or contact us, we'll be happy to help and have just the right experience.
Foundation Pier
A building's foundation can suffer serious damage from a variety of soil changes around the structure. Seasonal changes, like heavy rains or drought, inadequate drainage or shifting clay soils can all have a devastating effect. Basement Systems Calgary offers a permanent solution to get your structure back on solid ground — steel tubes are hydraulically driven into the ground and mounted to the foundation with tough steel brackets. These foundation piers transfer the weight of a building away from the unstable soils and down to bedrock or load bearing earth.
Wall Anchor
Most buckling foundation walls can be repaired without the awful expense of excavation and rebuilding the entire wall. No matter what is causing the bowing or cracking, the problem should be addressed to protect a homeowner's investment, but it doesn't have to be a huge ordeal. The foundation wall anchor we use is almost surgical in its precision — minimum excavation and almost always done in less than a day. Since the wall isn't rebuilt, your home and lawn are left virtually the same as when our installation crew arrived.
Helical Pier
When unstable soils jeopardize a building's structural integrity, the best solution is often to transfer the building's weight to lower, more stable load bearing strata. Helical piers are screwed into the ground to transfer loads to those lower and more suitable foundation soils, significantly reducing settlement. This system can be installed year round, without heavy equipment, so give us a call or fill out our contact form to determine if it is right for your new construction or existing foundation issue.
Basement Systems Calgary also provides Basement Waterproofing and Crawl Space services in Calgary and Southern Alberta.
