Structural Foundation Repair in Austin, TX
The Challenge: House Separation Due to Poor Construction
When it comes to the stability and longevity of your home, a strong foundation is key. At NXT Construction, we specialize in identifying and fixing structural foundation issues to ensure your home remains safe and secure.
Our Comprehensive Foundation Repair Process
A homeowner reached out to us after noticing a crack forming between sections of their house. Upon inspection, we discovered that the previous builder had failed to properly attach the two foundations before constructing the addition. This oversight caused the house to begin separating over time, leading to serious structural concerns.
Secure and Long-Lasting Solution
After successfully securing the foundation and ensuring our repairs reached bedrock, we restored the home’s flooring and trimwork to its original condition. To give the homeowner peace of mind, we provided a lifetime warranty on the foundation repair.
Our Comprehensive Foundation Repair Process
We walked the homeowner through our repair strategy, ensuring they understood the necessary steps to fix the issue. During our assessment, we learned that a foundation company had previously attempted to lift the foundation but had not removed the flooring. Had they done so, they would have noticed the concrete separation that was causing the issue.
To properly address the problem, we removed sections of the flooring and concrete to expose the affected areas. We then ran new rebar reinforcements from one side of the house to the other, effectively connecting the two foundations.
To ensure a long-lasting repair, we partnered with a trusted foundation company that specializes in leveling and stabilizing foundations. They performed a process known as mud pumping, which fills the void between the ground and the base of the foundation. By pumping concrete into this gap, we prevented future water intrusion and ensured the foundation was fully supported.
A Happy Customer and a New Referral
The homeowner was extremely satisfied with the results and even referred us to their neighbor, who was experiencing a similar foundation issue. We are now in the process of repairing their home as well, reinforcing our commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction.
