No matter what
building structure you are planning attention must be paid on building a strong
foundation to ensure it is holding the load of building strongly. The interface
between the structure and the earth, the foundation of a building must be
capable to adequately transfer the worst load case scenario from structure to
soil. And worst load case scenario is combination of loads starting with
building’s own weight to its inhabitants and all objects imposing the gravity
loads.
Since foundation is
base of the building and any problem associated no matter how small must never
be ignored. Generally, foundations are built to function throughout the life of
the building. But under certain conditions like exposure to adverse soil
conditions (sinkhole presence) might contribute to unstable foundation
resulting in downward movement or lateral movement. As the problem worsens the
problem becomes more visible with diagonal stair step cracks, long horizontal
foundation crack. Any foundation problem deserves immediate treatment before
the damage ends up being irreversible.
Foundation
contractor Boca Raton offers excellent remedies. A typical foundation
repair for downward movement lies with the installation of series of steel
underpinning piers just below the affected area. Similarly, depending on the
extent of problem the remedies are provided and Universal Engineering has both
