When a house is first constructed, the builders dig a hole in dense virgin soil for the foundation. After the foundation is built, the loose soil that was dug out is backfilled around the foundation. Through the years, this soil can also expand and put added pressure on your foundation, causing foundation wall cracks, shifting, settling, bowing, or heaving.
Peak Basement Systems has a number of solutions for all of your foundation repair needs in Colorado. They are compatible with most home designs and some can be installed with no damage to gardens, steps, porches, walkways, or other landscaping. Our technicians have designed permanent, warranted solutions in many areas including Castle Rock, Pueblo, Palmer Lake in Teller County, El Paso County and Douglas county.
Peak Basement Systems uses the Foundation Supportworks push pier system to transfer the weight of your home through the piers from unstable soil to competent soil or bedrock. Installation of galvanized steel foundation push piers can be done quickly all year round without the use of heavy equipment. This process can be done either from the outside of the home through excavation, or through the interior basement floor.
The foundation repair process usually takes about 5 days, with the actual resistance pier installation taking about a day. By utilizing an interior pier installation process, putting a home on a solid foundation can be accomplished with minimal damage to your landscaping. The push pier system can stabilize settled foundations and can even lift the structure back to its original position, making the Foundation Supportworks foundation piers a powerful and long-lasting solution for your home.

For lighter structures, porches, patios, and other structures that are sagging and showing fatigue, Helical Piers installs the Foundation Supportworks line of Helical Pier Systems. Helical piers are mechanically screwed into the soil to assure permanent stabilization of your Peak Basement Systems. They can be used as an alternative to the push pier system in some situations, and are commonly used in new construction. Helical piers are usually installed with small construction equipment, but can be installed with hand equipment in tight spaces. The shaft has a high resistance to bending and the helical piers offer reduced mess and excavation in and around the home.

Cracking and bowing in the foundation walls of a house in Castle Rock, Parker, or Teller, El Paso of Colorado and the surrounding areas is a common problem. It most often occurs as the lateral pressure from the soil around the foundation exceeds the home's load-bearing capacity. A properly installed foundation wall anchoring system in Colorado can restore and reinforce the structural integrity of a structure. It will provide a good alternative to removing and rebuilding foundation walls or using other wall bracing systems, and can be installed with minimal landscaping disruption.
You need a wall anchor or earth anchor system if...
□ You have bowing or bending displacement of one or more walls.
□ There is cracking present on the bowed or bent walls.
□ You experience fluctuations in the amount of bowing or bending over time.

Foundation soil in areas like Western Colorado Springs shifts and settles when alternating between drying out and shrinking, and swelling from moisture. This can result in sinking columns and sagging crawl space beams, which can cause your crawl space to settle. Improperly-spaced beams can also become overloaded and start to sag, causing the floor boards to sag as well. Our SmartJack Crawl Space Stabilizer has rugged steel support beams specifically designed to stabilize your crawl space and protect your home. They can support a vertical load of more than 60,000 pounds, and are able to level existing beams and floor joints.
