Foundation Leveling.
Foundation leveling is the precise elevation correction at the heart of every repair — measuring exactly how far your slab has moved and restoring it on engineered steel piers.
Foundation leveling is the precise elevation correction at the heart of every repair — measuring exactly how far your slab has moved and restoring it on engineered steel piers.
Measured, not guessed
Using a digital manometer we map your slab to ±⅛ inch, establish the target elevation, and recover it pier by pier. The numbers drive the plan, and we re-survey to prove the result.
Why steel piers
Foundation leveling is only permanent when the corrected elevation rests on stable strata. Steel piers reach it; surface methods ride the same clay that moved the foundation in the first place.
Signs you may need foundation leveling
- Doors and windows that stick, drag, or won’t latch
- Stair-step cracks in exterior brick or block
- Sloping, bouncy, or visibly uneven floors
- Drywall cracks fanning from door and window corners
- Gaps opening between walls, trim, and the ceiling
- Cracks in the slab or at the garage floor
The GroundLock process
Free elevation survey
Map the slab to ±⅛ in and locate every drop.
Drive steel piers
Galvanized piers driven through the clay to load-bearing strata, to refusal.
Lift & lock
Raise toward level; transfer the load onto the piers.
Verify & warranty
Re-survey, document the lift, and warranty it for life.
Protecting the repair
Because water and soil movement cause most foundation failures, lasting results often pair the structural fix with drainage correction, erosion control, or regrading — recommended only where it protects your foundation.
