Assessment & Diagnostics
Our first step is a thorough inspection. Using high‑resolution cameras, moisture meters, and laser levels, we identify:
- Crack type and progression
- Water intrusion points
- Soil movement patterns
Data from these tools feed into a predictive model that estimates repair duration and long‑term performance, giving clients transparent expectations.
Foundation Repair Techniques
Stonehouse employs proven methods tailored to the issue's severity:
- Hydrostatic Pressure Relief (SPR) Piers – Lightweight, minimally invasive piers that lift and stabilize the slab.
- Under‑Slab Injection – High‑viscosity resin fills voids and cracks, restoring load capacity.
- Concrete Grouting – Chemical or cement grouts reinforce walls and footings against future settlement.
Each technique is chosen based on site data, ensuring efficiency and cost‑effectiveness.
Crawlspace Management
Moisture in the crawlspace can accelerate foundation deterioration. Stonehouse offers:
- Sealing and vapor barriers to block water ingress
- Ventilation systems that regulate temperature and humidity
- Drainage solutions, including sump pumps and French drains, to redirect water away from the foundation
Proper crawlspace management reduces mold risks, improves HVAC efficiency, and extends the life of the foundation.
Data‑Driven Decision Making
Our repair strategy relies on continuous data collection:
- Pre‑ and post‑repair moisture maps
- Load‑bearing capacity tests
- Long‑term monitoring via wireless sensors
These metrics allow us to fine‑tune treatments, verify success, and provide clients with measurable results.
