Bentonite, Bedrock and Foundation Damage in Colorado
olshan man crawl space repairColorado is known for its volatile, expansive bentonite clay. When coupled with an arid climate and occasional floods or snow, it creates soil conditions that leave many Colorado homes vulnerable to foundation damage. This happens because an increase in subsurface moisture can lead to swelling, and a decrease in subsurface moisture can lead to shrinking.
It’s important to assess signs of foundation problems such as; cracks in walls, floors that sag or a wet crawl space, early, before the damage spreads. Fortunately, our team of Denver foundation repair experts are here to help. Our team includes a Structural Engineer on staff, available to provide you with a free, no-obligation foundation assessment and custom repair plan.
One of our Certified Structural Technicians will inspect your home and provide you with a detailed job assessment and quote. About 20% of the homes we inspect do not require repairs. In those instances we will be glad to provide you with a foundation maintenance program that can help mitigate future problems.
We also work hand-in-hand with 3rd party Structural Engineers to execute repair plans of all sizes, for both residential homeowners and commercial business owners. If you already have a repair plan, let us complete the project on time and on budget.
