RESIDENTIAL HOME FOUNDATION REPAIR
Solving Home Foundation Problems since 1912

Sinking foundations, cracked and buckled foundation walls, and uneven floors are home foundation problems commonly faced annually by a quarter-million homeowners. Homes and other structures situated on unstable soils settle when their foundations are subject to extreme moisture variations or lack of proper drainage. A shifting foundation may result in structural damage to your home resulting in a loss of your investment.

The CHANCE Helical Pile Foundation System offers a technically superior and cost-effective home foundation repair solution. The CHANCE System is backed by more than 80 years of structural and geo-technical engineering.

THE HOME FOUNDATION REPAIR PROCESS

The concept is founded on the principle of turning a helical “screw” pile into stable subsoil until the torque applied indicates that the necessary load capacity is achieved. Adjustable house foundation repair brackets are attached to the base of your foundation walls, connecting the piles to the foundation. The weight of your home is then transferred to the pile. In this process, the foundation, walls and floors, are repositioned and retained from further movement.

BEGIN WITH A PLAN OF HOUSE FOUNDATION REPAIR

First, choose a trustworthy and reputable foundation repair contractor that serves your local area.  One that will utilize the CHANCE Helical Pile Foundation Repair System to remedy your home foundation problems. A dealer trained and certified by CHANCE Civil Construction, will visit to inspect your home and foundation in order to determine the repair option that best fits your structural needs. The dealer will prepare a plan of foundation repair based on your home’s damage, the weight of the home, and local soil conditions. The plan of foundation repair will address the size, location, and load requirement for the placement of each Helical Pile. The dealer will then give a price quotation and estimate for the Helical Pile Foundation Repair System installation.

Following the acceptance of the plan of house foundation repair, the contractor will excavate down to the footing at each pile location. A notch will be chipped out of the footing to accommodate a support bracket. A high-torque hydraulic drive head will screw the Helical Piles into stable subsoil until the prescribed depth is reached. A steel L-shaped bracket placed on top of each Helical Pile shaft will connect to the base of the foundation wall.

This innovative system contrasts with other more costly and time-consuming methods that require extensive excavation and disturb your home’s landscape.
