When it comes to house leveling, we focus on first establishing the root cause of your settlement or shifting concerns. This can involve our professional estimators taking measurements around your house or building’s foundation by use of a laser level to establish which areas have settled or sunk. The sinking or settlement of homes is a common problem in Edmonton, Alberta as the soil types homes are built on are typically clay, silt, and sand. The professional evaluation of a structural engineer or geotechnical engineering firm to establish a plan of action for re-leveling your home is also a common approach we take here at Abalon, enlisting only Independent APEGA certified engineers to provide solutions to our clients if required.

What are House-levelling services, and when would I require them?

Your home or building may require leveling services if you notice unlevel main or basement floors, or garage floors. These symptoms also include doors or windows that get stuck or are hard to open. Cracks in drywall or significant settlement concerns that involve large foundation cracks. These types of symptoms indicate that your house or building has settled from its original level surface that it was built on.

Over time, the weight of a home can increase with winter snow-load or other factors such as renovations or additions. These additions to your structure can increase the weight and cause the building or home to settle into the ground and become uneven or unlevel. The solution to this problem is to level the house with the use of a foundation underpinning or foundation piling system. This can range from concrete columns and pads under your garage or home, to the use of deep concrete friction piles or steel push piles that aim to re-level your home’s foundation back to level ground. With the help of structural and/or geotechnical engineers, a solution can be organized to re-level you’re building and prevent the structure from failing further beyond repair. Due to Abalon’s experience and history, our project managers and estimators can help homeowners navigate to finding the best cost-effective and “common sense” solution. Sometimes this can involve expensive structural repairs with multiple engineers overseeing the project, monitoring less-detrimental concern over time to confirm that costly house-leveling repairs are truly going to remedy the clients concerns.
