Foundation Repair

Tomlinson Cannon Cole located in Iowa City, Iowa Foundation Before Foundation Installation Foundation After

When foundations sink, even a few inches, it can cause doors and windows to fit improperly, cracks to appear in masonry and more. The solution is to raise the foundation to its original position.

First we attach to your home's footings a series of Grip-Tite® Foundation Pier anchoring brackets of heavy, industrial strength steel. Next, high pressure equipment hydraulically drives rugged steel piers down to solid bedrock or equal load-bearing strata Each pier is individually anchored and tested for successful load-bearing. Finally the weight of your home, anchored to the steel brackets, is carefully transferred from unstable soil to rock-solid piers so your home or commercial building is secure with the pier system permanently in place and hidden from view.

Advantages:

  • No heavy equipment normally needed.
  • No waiting weeks for concrete to dry. We can install this system in as little as two days.
  • Can be installed in limited access areas.
  • Faster and lower cost than old-fashioned methods.
  • Can be installed year-round.

10 ways to tell if you need the Grip-Tite Foundation Pier System:

  • Windows and doors are sticking, hard to open.
  • There are large gaps in window and door frames.
  • Interior plaster walls are cracking.
  • Multiple nail pops are appearing in ceilings and walls.
  • Walls are beginning to lean noticeably.
  • Window and/or door trim are developing spaces.
  • Floors are starting to settle and become uneven.
  • Chimneys are tilting or leaning.
  • Foundations are sinking.
