leveling Services
Pier and Beam structures move over time. We level and repair the foundation of your pier and beam home so that the potential damage is mitigated.
Leveling a home is a complex process that involves adjusting its foundation to ensure that the structure is balanced and stable.
General process for leveling a home:
- Inspection: A professional inspects the foundation and the home to identify areas that need leveling.
- Preparation: Clearing the area around the foundation to allow access for the leveling equipment.
- Lifting: Hydraulic jacks or other equipment are used to lift the low areas of the foundation gradually.
- Support: Once lifted, the low areas are supported with piers or other support structures to keep them level.
- Adjustment: The foundation is adjusted by adding or removing shims or other materials to ensure it remains level.
- Checking: The home is checked to ensure it is level both horizontally and vertically.
- Repairs: Any damage to the foundation or the home resulting from the leveling process is repaired.
- Finishing: The area around the foundation is restored, and any landscaping or other features are replaced.

& Leveling expertise
The process of leveling a home means to return it to its original horizontal position. We do not stop working under your home until it is level for you.
Before leveling
If the house you live in is not set and centered on its base, you will start to notice creaks when you walk, and possibly cracks in the walls and ceilings. Before the damage occurs, check your pier and beam structure regularly. Call us to balance the house out again.
After Leveling
When we are done leveling your home, you will see a seamless transition from the base to the bottom of the home. The house will feel sturdier and potential damage will be mitigated.
