Professional Foundation Stabilization Services

Foundation stabilization helps address settlement and structural movement that can occur when soil beneath a home shifts over time. Depending on site conditions, foundation movement may result from settlement, changing moisture levels, soil expansion and contraction, or other environmental factors.

Ox Foundation Solutions provides professional foundation stabilization services designed to address these underlying issues. Following a detailed inspection, our team recommends repair solutions based on the cause of the movement and your home's specific foundation conditions.

Signs Your Foundation Needs Stabilization

Foundation movement often develops gradually. Recognizing the warning signs early can help homeowners address potential issues before they become more extensive.

• Stair-step cracks in brick or masonry: Cracks splitting through exterior mortar joints in a step-like pattern as one side of the house drops.
• Separation between brick and trim: Frieze boards and fascia pulling away from the top of the brickwork as the exterior walls tilt outward.
• Tilting or splitting chimneys: The heavy brick chimney stack visibly leaning away from the siding or cracking near the roofline.
• Sticking doors and windows: Doors or windows that become difficult to open, close, or latch as the foundation shifts.
• Uneven or sloping floors: Floors that appear uneven or feel sloped when walking through your home.

What Causes Foundation Movement?

Foundation movement can occur for several reasons, including soil settlement, changes in moisture levels, poor drainage, expansive soils, and improperly compacted fill soil beneath the home.

As soil expands and contracts with seasonal weather changes, portions of a foundation may shift or settle unevenly. In some cases, drainage issues or erosion may also contribute to movement beneath the foundation.

Because every property is different, a professional inspection is the best way to determine the cause of foundation movement and whether foundation settlement stabilization or other repairs are recommended.

Helical Pier Foundation Stabilization

Helical piers are one of the primary foundation stabilization solutions offered by Ox Foundation Solutions for homes experiencing settlement. These steel piers are installed beneath the foundation to help transfer the weight of the structure to more stable supporting soils below.

Depending on the property's conditions, helical piers may be recommended for homes affected by settlement, shifting soils, or foundation movement. During a professional inspection, our team evaluates the cause of the movement and determines whether helical piers or another foundation stabilization solution is the most appropriate option.

The Advantages of OxPoly Stabilization

OxPoly is a polyurethane foam solution used to help lift and stabilize settled concrete slabs, including sidewalks, driveways, patios, garage floors, and other concrete surfaces affected by settlement.

While OxPoly is commonly used for concrete leveling applications, our team will determine during your inspection whether slab lifting, foundation stabilization, or another repair solution is the most appropriate option for your property.

The lightweight material is injected beneath the concrete, where it expands to help fill voids and raise the slab. Because the material cures quickly, repaired surfaces can often be returned to service sooner than with some traditional repair methods.
