Assessment and Diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of any remediation effort. Technicians use laser leveling, soil bearing tests, and moisture profiling to pinpoint movement patterns and underlying causes such as expansive soils, poor drainage, or overloaded footings. A written report outlines findings, recommended interventions, and projected timelines.
Common Repair Techniques
Dream Contracting tailors its methods to the specific failure mode:
- Helical or push piers – installed through the slab to transfer loads to stable strata.
- Carbon fiber reinforcement – bonded to walls or beams to improve tensile strength without extensive demolition.
- Polyurethane foam injection – lifts settled slabs while sealing voids.
- Wall anchors and steel braces – correct bowing or leaning masonry.
Preventative Strategies
Beyond fixing existing damage, the company advises on moisture management, grading adjustments, and drainage upgrades to mitigate future settlement. Installing French drains, waterproof membranes, and proper gutter extensions are standard recommendations.
Project Timeline and Cost Factors
Typical projects span one to three weeks, depending on site access and repair complexity. Cost variables include soil conditions, depth of piers, material choices, and required permits. Dream Contracting provides a transparent estimate that separates labor, materials, and contingency allowances.
Client Considerations
Homeowners should verify contractor licensing, insurance coverage, and warranty terms. Dream Contracting offers a limited lifetime warranty on structural components and a one‑year guarantee on workmanship, giving clients confidence in long‑term performance.
