If you see cracks in your walls, ceilings and the foundation of your house, you are going to suspect that there is something wrong. When the doors, windows and your cupboards don't shut right, you become even more suspicious.
It could be that your pier foundation repair Austin of your house is sinking, moving or shifting. You should call a foundation repair contractor and have an inspection done.
In many areas of the country the soil is porous, too sandy, or has too much clay. Depending upon moisture conditions and heat and cold, the soil can expand or contract, or move, thus causing foundation difficulties.
What has to be done is to dig under the foundation and shore it up to its normal levels with jacks. Then the foundation can be supported with heavy concrete or steel piers down to the bedrock or poured beds of steel or concrete.
These footings will do a solid job of supporting your house for years to come if they are put in properly and there are enough of them. After all, if the shifting and settling is allowed to continue, the overall stability of your house will be in jeopardy.
