What is the Difference Between a Locally Owned Foundation Repair Company and a Big Chain?
This question floats by our desk regularly. What is the difference between a locally owned foundation repair company and a big chain company? It turns out that there is one very specific answer: The Materials. In addition to all of the other accoutrements of doing business with a dedicated local company, companies that are locally owned do not have to worry about the same kind of restrictions as their nationally owned counterparts. In short, big chains are limited to what they sell. Keep reading to learn more!
Foundation Repair Materials: Quality Where it Counts
Foundation Pro has researched the best available products to use during all of our foundation repair services, such as Foundation Repair, Concrete Raising, Water Control, and Crawl Space Encapsulation. In all of these services, the quality of the materials directly affects the length of time the repairs will last. In the case of steel pier pilings, which work by transferring the weight of the structure off of the weaker soils and onto the steel pier piling, the materials have to be incredibly durable to stabilize a home’s foundation. Foundation Pro is not limited to any materials and can go the extra mile to make sure to choose products best for the job.
Why Our Foundation Repair Materials are the Best
Large companies are afforded the opportunity to buy large-scale, bulk materials, often at the expense of the consumer. They are also limited to using the products they’ve developed. As a locally owned company, we are able to monitor the quality of our products and change direction if we find something that better suits the needs of our customers. For example, the steel pier pilings we use are of the highest quality and are the same pilings we would use on our own foundations. These products are manufactured in the U.S. and engineered to match any type of project demand.
No Sub-Contractors: Foundation Pro is the Only Local Company with both Steel Pier Pilings and Polyurethane Injection Services
When you work with Foundation Pro, every project goes through our Foundation Repair experts. We do not use sub-contractors, so all of our projects are evaluated, monitored, and completed in-house. Foundation Pro is also the only local company to do foundation repair projects with Steel Pier Pilings and Polyurethane Injections.
· Steel Pier Pilings. This foundation repair solution is the industry’s most advanced stabilization option. Our manufacture creates these systems with two major components: American-made steel and state-of-the-art robotic and laser precision technologies.
· Polyurethane Injections. These injections are fluid resin, which a professional injects into cracks in a foundation’s concrete or expansion joints. The injection is flexible and molds into the exact shape of the crack, repairing the damage.
The Foundation Pro Lifetime Transferable Warranty
We use the same materials we would use on our own homes, and we’re confident in their strength and stability. Foundation Pro uses the strongest, highest quality Steel Pier Pilings on the market. Because we are so confident in the materials we use, the Steel Pier Piling Foundation Repair service includes a lifetime transferable warranty.
Considering Foundation Repair? These are Common Warning Signs!
Your foundation is usually honest about its condition and will let you know if it needs a little TLC. The following are some of the most common warning signs for a damaged foundation:
· Cracked Bricks. Cracks in your brick veneer, cinder blocks or foundation walls can indicate a need to relevel or stabilize your foundation.
· Bowing and Cracked Walls. Bowing or bulging walls, interior cracks, misaligned ceilings, corners, pillars, joints, molding, and chimneys are signs of foundation issues.
· Uneven Floors or Sagging Ceiling. When people think of foundations, their minds go to floors. But sagging and bowing ceilings are also a sign of an unstable foundation.
· More Warning Signs. Other signs of possible foundation problems are cracks in the sheetrock, rotating walls, slab cracks, spaces under window and door trims and bouncy floors.
