Foundation Repair
Specializing in AB Chance Helical Pier Systems, we address foundation settling issues caused by unstable soil. Our solutions include vertical piers, tieback anchors, and soil nailing for residential and commercial properties. Each project uses code-approved materials and includes comprehensive diagnostics, documentation, and a 30-year warranty. Our team's engineering expertise ensures long-term stability for homes, hospitals, and industrial sites.
Concrete Restoration
CTi Concrete Technology restores and resurfaces worn or damaged concrete with a 7,000 PSI acrylic-modified system. Ideal for driveways, patios, and basements, this solution resists stains, freeze/thaw cycles, and UV fading. The process corrects imperfections while providing a decorative finish that mimics natural stone, ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal for both residential and commercial applications.
Home Renovations
We handle full-scale residential and commercial renovations, including kitchens, bathrooms, room additions, and exterior structures. Our team coordinates design consultations, material selection, and project management to meet client budgets and timelines. Services extend to Amish-crafted cabinetry and ADA-compliant modifications, ensuring functional and visually appealing results for diverse property types.
Drainage Systems
Our drainage solutions prevent water intrusion and foundation damage through customized exterior and interior systems. Services include sump pump installation, French drains, and grading adjustments. We address moisture problems in basements and crawl spaces, using diagnostic tools to identify sources and implement permanent fixes that protect structural integrity and indoor air quality.
Helical Pier Installation
Helical Pier Systems provide deep foundation support for new construction and repair applications. This method transfers structural loads to stable soil layers using steel shafts with helical plates. Certified by AB Chance, we install systems for homes, stadiums, and industrial facilities, offering immediate load-bearing capacity and adaptability to challenging access conditions or high-capacity requirements.
