Pressure grouting is a technique used to strengthen and stabilize the soil or fill voids beneath a foundation. It involves injecting a cementitious grout mixture under pressure into the ground through boreholes or pipes. The grout fills gaps, compacts loose soil, and improves the load-bearing capacity of the soil, providing additional support to the foundation and preventing further settlement or movement.

Sinking concrete is commonly caused by soil settlement, inadequate soil compaction, or poor drainage, which can impact the stability of the foundation. Addressing the sinking concrete typically involves addressing the underlying foundation problems to ensure long-term stability and prevent further damage.

Basement underpinning is a structural foundation repair technique that involves strengthening and stabilizing an existing foundation by extending its depth or breadth. It typically involves excavating beneath the existing foundation and adding new concrete or steel supports to reinforce the structure. Underpinning is commonly used to increase the load-bearing capacity of the foundation, address foundation settlement, or allow for additional basement space. In some cases basement underpinning is used for basement floor lowering Mississauga purposes.

A sump pump is a mechanical device that is used to remove excess water from the basement or crawl space of a building. It is typically installed in a sump pit, which is a hole dug into the basement floor or crawl space. The sump pump is designed to automatically activate when the water level in the sump pit reaches a certain point, and then pumps the water out of the pit and away from the building. A sump pump is a common element of internal basement waterproofing systems.

Bowing walls refer to walls that have developed a noticeable inward or outward curve. This condition is typically caused by excessive soil pressure, poor drainage, or hydrostatic pressure against the foundation. Bowing walls can be a sign of foundation problems and should be addressed promptly to prevent further structural damage or potential collapse.

Foundation piering, also known as foundation underpinning, is a method used to stabilize and support a sinking or settling foundation. It involves installing steel piers deep into the ground beneath the foundation to transfer the weight of the structure to more stable soil or bedrock. The piers are driven or drilled into the ground until they reach a stable stratum, providing support and preventing further settlement of the foundation.

Cut-off walls are a construction technique used in foundation repair to prevent water intrusion and stabilize the soil. They involve excavating a trench around the foundation and installing a vertical barrier, typically made of concrete or a waterproofing material. This barrier blocks the flow of water into the foundation, reduces hydrostatic pressure, and helps maintain the stability of the soil, effectively repairing and protecting the foundation from water-related damage.

Sticking windows and doors can be related to foundation damage as the shifting or settling of the foundation can cause misalignment of the frames. This misalignment can result in doors and windows becoming difficult to open or close smoothly. It is a common symptom of foundation issues and should be addressed to ensure the stability and functionality of the structure.
