Foundation Replacement: When Repair Is Not Enough
In some cases, a foundation is too severely damaged to repair. Complete foundation replacement removes the compromised structure and rebuilds it from the ground up.
Foundation replacement is the most comprehensive solution we offer. It involves temporarily supporting and raising the structure, removing the existing foundation, and pouring an entirely new one. While it is the most involved process, it is sometimes the only path to a safe, permanent result.
Common reasons for foundation replacement include severe settlement, extensive structural cracking, deteriorating concrete that has lost its load-bearing capacity, and foundations that were poorly designed or constructed originally.
Our replacement process is fully engineered from start to finish. A structural engineer designs the new foundation to meet current building codes and account for the specific soil conditions on your property. The work is permitted, inspected, and documented at every stage.
Foundation replacement is a significant investment, and we never recommend it unless it is genuinely necessary. In many cases, pier systems, wall anchors, or other targeted repairs can resolve the issue at a fraction of the cost. We always present all viable options so you can make an informed decision.
