There are a variety of factors which contribute to the underlying causes of settlement issues that need to be evaluated to find the best remedy for each individual case. Some of the causes could include: construction on un-compacted soil (“problem soil”), undersized foundation footing, or the presence of poor drainage around your house, like a plumbing leak, over a long period of time.

Raising a house, or just a part of a house, is serious stuff. In order to lift your foundation, you must go through a series of steps to raise it. First, you must add support through a process called shoring. During this step, beams are inserted under your home with jacks underneath. Slowly, these jacks are raised evenly, which prevents damage to your home. When the jacks are raised to the correct height, new piers are added; these new piers hold the adjustment in place.
