Foundation problems can lead to cracked walls, stair-step brickwork, uneven floors, and a variety of other issues, depending upon the severity of the foundation failure.
This is why it is so important to address any foundation issue right away. Foundation problems are more common than you may think and can occur for many reasons.
You may have heard that downspouts should be extended at least 10 feet away from your foundation. Do you know why? If water is too close to your foundation, it will wash away soil, leaving the foundation unsupported. Water can also cause the surrounding soil to shift and in turn, cause your foundation to shift or sink. Preventing these problems can easily be avoided if proper drainage is put in place when the foundation is being laid.
Different soil types will expand in periods of extreme moisture conditions and contract during periods of drought when there is no moisture in the soil. Both scenarios lead to foundation settling because of the inconsistent pressure.
The good news is that foundation issues can be fixed. It is a very detailed process and something that should be left to the professionals. Whether the issue is caused by expansive clay, poor soil density, improper maintenance, or faulty construction, Helitech is here to help.

They really stepped up to the plate when I needed them most as a client. I could write 5 pages about everything they did right as a company when I had an incident after they did some work for me. They worked with me the whole time and being in the customer service industry, it really stood out. I couldn’t be happier with the service and direct attention they gave me. Thanks, Helitech.
