House leveling is carried out if a home is seen to be shifting on its foundations, for example sinking in places or at one side. It’s a process of restoring the home back to its original state, if it has experienced structural or foundation issues. It’s important to note that house leveling should be carried out alongside identifying and correcting the issues which caused the problem in the first place. If there’s a leak, drainage problem, erosion or similar, these problems must be fixed to ensure the house isn’t vulnerable to more issues in future. Call San Marcos Foundation Repair to learn more.

The route we take to repair damage will depend on the construction of your home and the foundation type. Concrete slab foundations might require some excavation underneath the slab, in order to insert pilings or piers to raise the slab. In some cases, gaps under the slab can be filled using a chemical approach. For pier and beam foundations, leveling often involves repairing the existing structure, and using additional supports such as piers and pilings to add a little extra stability. The soil underneath the property may also need to be addressed, to ensure it’s stable enough to support the building for the long term.
