Slab Piers
Settlement in slab foundations poses the same risk of damage as both basement and crawl space foundations. It’s important not to ignore noticeable cracks or uneven floors because slab settlement indicates that your home’s safety and structural integrity are compromised.
Indiana Foundation Service offers the perfect solution: SettleStop™ Slab Piers. As experts in foundation repair, we provide this permanent and warranted method to stabilize your home.
What Are Slab Piers?
Slab piers are specialized components used for repairing foundations. They are designed to permanently stabilize settling slab foundations, prevent future settling, and ensure that your property resists shifting or expansive soil conditions.
These piers act as stable columns, transferring the weight of your home down to more stable ground. As a result, they provide stability and potentially lift the house back to its original position.
In addition to slab piers, a comprehensive approach to maintaining your home’s structural health may include basement waterproofing. As a result, slab piers are an essential component of such an approach that ensures the longevity of your home.
Signs You Need Slab Piers
If you notice any of the following symptoms in your home, it may indicate a need for concrete slab foundation stabilization:
- Visible floor cracks
- Cracks in drywall
- Drywall nail pops
- Uneven or sloping floors
- Doors and windows that stick
- Gaps between floors and walls
Although these indicators may seem only aesthetic at first glance, they are warning signs of a deteriorating foundation that should not be ignored. As soon as you notice a problem, contact local foundation repair professionals like Indiana Foundation Service.
Are Slab Piers Necessary?
Ignoring signs of a settling foundation won’t make the problem go away—it will only make it worse. As the foundation continues to weaken, repairs become more extensive and costly.
Acting early with slab pier repair can prevent further damage and provide peace of mind. It’s a critical part of a whole-home solution that saves money and preserves your home’s value in the long run.
At Indiana Foundation Service, we understand that every home is unique and requires its own repair plan. That’s why we offer a variety of foundation, basement, crawl space, and concrete repair solutions. Even if slab piers aren’t the ideal solution for your home, we’ll recommend exactly what your home needs to remain safe, stable, and protected for the years ahead.
