Structural Repair
Many homes built in the Steel City have been built by great builders. However, wood does rot and can be infested with termites or carpenter ants. Foundation walls can break down from water penetrating through block and mortar joints. Concrete footers can crack from wet subsoils. Interior floors start to deflect and rot from under-engineered wood beam systems. The problem is exasperated by inadequate footings and support columns.
Over the years, we have fixed these problems. I have worked with several engineering firms to repair interior and exterior structural problems. For instance, we have replaced main wood beams with steel beams, underpinned foundation footings, and added support pilasters.
Together with engineering firms we create an effective plan to correct all these problems. A simple quick plan of action helps eliminate your problem for years to come.
