Common foundation repairs in older homes
Many foundation repairs in long-standing homes like those in Castle Rock are focused rather than dramatic. Typical examples: replacing a pier block that cracked under a post; adding a proper footing where a post was set on bare soil; repairing a section of crumbling concrete at a foundation vent; or addressing a crack that lets water seep in every winter. These repairs are usually done from inside the crawl space and can often be combined with post and beam work in the same visit. Larger concerns, like a leaning or moving wall, get a clear plan of their own.
Practical repairs
Replacing piers and footings, repairing concrete sections, sealing problem cracks and coordinating with post and beam repairs. If water is a factor, drainage may be part of the plan.
