Earthquakes and Foundation Repair

Although earthquakes aren’t all that common in Connecticut, there is still a chance they can affect us. With the recent earthquakes that CT experienced, it was a great reminder to check for structural issues throughout your home. Even though the earthquake may have had no effect, it is still very important to be on the lookout for these problems. Catching structural issues early enough means there is most likely a simple but permanent solution. Our foundation division can install a variety of solutions that will give homeowners peace of mind.
 
Possible foundation problems include settling foundations, sagging floors and wall failure. These can be caused by multiple different reasons, but it’s important to be able to identify the signs that come with these problems.
 
There can be very visible signs of structural problems. These can include:
Cracks in the foundation (step-cracking)
Floor cracks
Collapsing retaining walls
Sagging crawlspaces
Buckling foundation walls
Cracks around windows/doors
 
There can also be signs that you might not think are structural related, but they are. These can include:
Sticking/jamming windows and doors
Uneven floors (test with a level!)
Doors/windows out of frame
 
But the best thing you can do is leave it up to us, the experts, to identify these structural issues. Connecticut Basement Systems is the leading structural repair company in CT, trusted since 1987. We have solved hundreds of foundation problems, and seen all variations, so it’s nothing we’re not used to! We have a team filled with expert individuals, from our Sales Consultants who inspect and find you the correct solution, to our certified Production team who installs the solutions safely and efficiently. We want to walk away knowing the issue is resolved and each homeowner has peace of mind! 
 
Now, you may ask, what are these solutions? At Connecticut Basement Systems, we offer several permanent solutions for the aforementioned foundation problems. Our products are made to bring value back to your home, while completely resolving each foundation issue. The foundation products that we offer include Wall Anchors, I-Beam Wall Braces, Foundation and Slab Piers, Crawlspace Jack Posts, and Wall Reinforcing Systems.
 
Another common question regarding foundation repair is how much should you be looking to spend. Although each foundation repair solution we offer varies in price based on size, materials, excavation, etc., it will be the less expensive option to choose. Replacing a foundation is time-consuming, disruptive to your home, and much more expensive than any of our foundation repair systems.
 
Did you know that to have your foundation completely replaced, your house would need to be “jacked up” on temporary supports to pour a completely new foundation? With our foundation repair products, your house stays in place while we install each solution necessary.
