Both sets of machinery need regular servicing. The homeowner is responsible for checking the floats and the discharge line to ensure that water is being directed away from the house’s foundation and away from the sump. In addition, make sure there is no sediment in the sump barrel. The Back Water Valve should be checked once a year. In particular, regular inspections of the device are necessary if you have ever had a sewer backup.

Water under concrete slabs (concrete floors) can be managed with the use of sumps if they are installed correctly. When used in conjunction with weeping tile, even more expansive problem areas can be contained.

The purpose of every sump and pit installed by Shield Foundation Repair Inc. is to manage and control water issues that arise from below the floor.

It’s not uncommon for foundations to be beyond saving. This may have occurred due to a car crash, a fire, years of neglect, or just the concrete’s advanced age. When a homeowner needs a larger footprint, more headroom, or to renovate their property, they often have the foundation changed. While the foundation wall is being replaced, the homeowner can often continue to live in the house.

We understand that not every fix is the same. Working together with engineers, Shield Foundation Repair Inc. finds the optimal solution for each project, whether it’s concrete columns and pads, steel push piles, concrete friction piles, or Edmonton screw piles, depending on the nature of the problem and the soil conditions. There isn’t just one method we have to stick to. All the top methods are well-known to us.

To “underpin” a home is to shift the building’s weight to more stable ground underneath. Underpinning involves driving long, deep piers into the ground to reach stable rock below. By shifting the building’s weight to stable ground, settlement can be prevented and the foundation is given more stability. The monetary worth of a home can be protected by underpinning as well.
