In the Acadiana Area, repeated flooding, shifting soil conditions, and high moisture levels can damage home foundations over time. Homeowners might notice uneven floors, cracks in their walls or ceilings, gaps between walls and floors, or even visible settling. The good news is that with home foundation leveling, these properties can regain stable footing.
If you’re wondering how the home foundation leveling process works, you can check out the basic step-by-step method below.
- Conduct a careful inspection. Before any home foundation leveling project can begin, an inspector will need to assess how much the home has shifted, the condition of the existing foundation, and any drainage issues around the property.
- Create a tailored plan. After we have a complete understanding of your home, we’ll develop a home foundation leveling plan to identify which areas need to be lifted or stabilized, what repairs will be required, the estimated timeline, and what equipment will be necessary.
- Prepare the foundation. Depending on the type of foundation you have, our team will create access points for lifting equipment or install temporary supports for your foundation.
- Lift and level the home. Using hydraulic jacks and advanced equipment, we’ll steadily lift your house and place it back on the foundation.
- Stabilize the foundation. Once the house is properly leveled, we will stabilize the foundation by adjusting or replacing piers, installing new anchors, reinforcing beams, or adding other structural elements to ensure long-lasting results.
