Affordable Foundation Stabilization Options
Foundation leveling involves correcting uneven or settling foundations to prevent structural damage and maintain stability. Over time, foundations can settle or sink due to soil movement, moisture changes, or other environmental factors, leading to cracks, misaligned doors and windows, and uneven floors.
