Why Foundation Problems Are Common in Arkansas and How Foundation Pro Can Help
Foundation problems can be a major concern for Arkansas homeowners. Recently, Brent Stroud, Certified Foundation Repair Specialist with Foundation Pro, was featured on Arkansas Style to discuss why foundation issues are so common in Arkansas and how Foundation Pro helps homeowners find the right solutions.
Why Are Foundation Problems Common in Arkansas?
Arkansas homes are particularly prone to foundation problems because of the expansive clay soils found throughout much of the state. This soil expands when wet and shrinks when dry, creating movement that can put stress on a home’s foundation.
Most Arkansas homes are also built on relatively shallow foundations, and the state has fewer basements than other parts of the country. Over time, these conditions can contribute to foundation and structural issues.
Foundation Pro begins by inspecting the home to identify existing problems and determine the best solution. Warning signs can include cracks in walls, doors that stick or no longer close properly, uneven floors, and problems with crawl spaces.
Finding the Right Solution
During his Arkansas Style appearance, Brent brought props to demonstrate some of the foundation repair and concrete lifting solutions Foundation Pro provides. As he explained, every property is different, so the right solution depends on the specific problem.
Foundation Pro uses polyurethane high-density foam for a variety of concrete lifting applications. The foam is injected as a liquid and expands into a solid, helping to:
- Consolidate loose soils beneath concrete slabs
- Fill voids beneath concrete
- Lift and stabilize sunken concrete
This process can be used on driveways, sidewalks, pool decks, and other concrete surfaces. As Brent put it, “If it’s concrete, we can lift it!”
Foundation Pro also helps homeowners address crawl space problems and other foundation concerns, providing both interior and exterior solutions.
