Foundation Support
in Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island

• Enhancing Long-Term Durability: Adjustable foundation supports enhance the long-term durability of structures, reducing the risk of extensive damage and minimizing the need for costly repairs in the future.
• Adapting to Environmental Changes Foundation supports, particularly those that are adjustable, allow structures to adapt to environmental changes, such as fluctuations in soil moisture levels, prevalent in the diverse climates of Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island.
• Minimizing Disruptions: Efficiently addressing foundation issues helps minimize disruptions to daily life, reducing the impact on residents and businesses in Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island.
• Meeting Local Building Codes: Our foundation support solutions ensure that structures comply with local building codes and regulations, contributing to the safety and resilience of buildings in accordance with the specific requirements of these regions.

• Concrete Piers: Concrete piers are deep foundation elements that provide excellent load-bearing capacity and stability in areas with high water tables. They are installed by drilling into stable soil or bedrock beneath the groundwater level, ensuring structural integrity and minimizing settlement.
• Steel Push Piers: Steel push piers are driven deep into the ground until they reach stable soil or load-bearing strata. They are effective in stabilizing foundations affected by settlement due to high water tables or soil movement, providing strong support and resisting corrosion over time.
• Helical Piers: Helical piers feature screw-like blades that are mechanically twisted into the ground, providing immediate load-bearing capacity. They are ideal for supporting foundations in areas prone to expansive soils or where traditional foundations may fail due to water-related issues.
• Slab Jacking: Slab jacking involves lifting and stabilizing concrete slabs or foundations by injecting grout or polyurethane foam beneath them. This method is used to correct settlement caused by soil erosion or water infiltration, restoring the foundation’s level and structural integrity.
• Waterproofing Membranes: Applying foundation waterproofing membranes to foundation walls prevents water infiltration and protects against moisture-related damage. These membranes can be installed on both the exterior and interior surfaces of foundation walls, effectively reducing the risk of cracks and leaks.
• Crawl Space Encapsulation: Crawl space encapsulation involves sealing them with vapor barriers and insulation to prevent moisture intrusion and improve indoor air quality. This method helps mitigate issues caused by high humidity levels and water vapor that can impact foundation stability.

These foundation support methods are tailored to address the specific challenges posed by high water tables, foundation cracks, and other common problems encountered in New York’s residential and commercial buildings. Each solution offers distinct benefits in terms of durability, effectiveness, and long-term maintenance.

Foundation support enhances a building’s stability by using methods like helical piers or push piers. These adjustable supports counteract settling and distribute the structure’s weight, preventing damage and ensuring long-term integrity.

In areas like Queens, Long Island, and Brooklyn, foundation support is a proactive measure, addressing specific structural needs based on soil conditions. Whether through underpinning or carbon fiber reinforcement, these techniques fortify buildings, safeguarding them against environmental challenges and ensuring prolonged safety and resilience.
