Cracked Bricks

The most obvious and (usually) definite sign of foundation problems is cracked bricks.  Expansive soil swells when it gets wet and contracts when it gets dry.  This constant expansion/contraction causes uneven movement of the home's foundation, usually resulting in cracking bricks on the exterior. 

Cracked bricks often have a zig-zag pattern, following the mortar joints.  However, these cracks can run vertically, cracking the bricks themselves, horizontally, or any combination.  It's most important, though, to realize this is a symptom, and not the problem!  If you fix the cracking bricks by patching or filling, you're not addressing the problem, which will likely get worse.  Money can be wasted by filling the cracks or even rebuilding portions of walls, just to have the problem reoccur.
​

Leaning Chimney

​Your chimney is most likely the heaviest portion of your house.  Chimneys are also usually attached to a support wall minimally with mortar or other braces that typically cannot hold the chimney in place when the footing beneath the chimney settles.  This creates a potentially dangerous situation in which a heavy and (essentially) detachable portion of your home begins to shift. 

It's important to have chimneys looked at as soon as you see signs of shifting, leaning, or settling.  Simply attempting to fill in gaps with mortar is masking the problem that will likely get worse.

Absolute Foundation Repair offers a complete line of foundation products for existing structures and new construction, including the following:
  • Helical Piles/Helix Piers

​Foundation settling and shifting can be caused by building a structure on expanding or contracting soil, improperly compacted fill soils, or from poor or erroneous maintenance of the earth around the foundation. Whatever the cause of a settling foundation, this settlement can ruin a building's value and even render it unsafe.

Whether you are in need of foundation repair, new construction or commercial applications, we will do the job right.
