Services
Home Elevation
Our home elevation service raises residential structures to mitigate flood risks while maintaining structural integrity. Using proprietary methods developed by founder George Aldrete, we safely lift homes up to required floodplain elevations. This process includes temporary support system installation, precise leveling measurements, and permanent foundation reinforcement.
Structural Shoring
We provide temporary and permanent shoring solutions for compromised building foundations. Our engineered systems stabilize structures during repairs or renovations using steel beam supports and hydraulic jacking equipment. This service addresses subsidence issues caused by soil movement or water damage across residential properties.
Foundation Repair
Our foundation repair service addresses cracks, settling, and water-damaged concrete bases. We implement underpinning techniques and slab leveling processes to restore structural stability. This includes repairing load-bearing walls and reinforcing foundation footings to prevent future movement in residential buildings.
