New homes and additions need footings that match the soil. Here is how we work with builders and owners to avoid problems later.
New homes in Middle Tennessee are often built fast on lots that were graded recently, and the fill under a new footing may not be fully compacted. An addition tied to an older house meets a different kind of ground and a different kind of foundation, so the two parts can settle at different rates and crack where they join.
We work with builders and owners at any stage. Before construction, we advise on drainage, grading and piers where the soil is weak. After construction, we fix settlement, support additions, add drainage and handle problems that appear in the first few years. Where plans are involved, we coordinate with engineers and help with permits so the work stays on schedule.
