Why Stabilize a Foundation With Our Products? 

Once you discover cracks in drywall, bricks, crawlspace, or foundation, it’s important to stabilize the area to avoid further damage to your property. While there are some products currently on the market to help with foundation issues and soil stabilization, such as helical piers, push piers, and concrete piers, GridLock’s new patent-pending solution for foundation damage and stabilization is a superior and cost-efficient way to stabilize a foundation. It is the modern solution when you discover foundation cracks or other foundation problems that require stabilization.

Revolutionizing the Way Foundations Are Stabilized

There are several traditional methods for stabilizing a foundation. Steel piers are the most common method suggested by structural engineers, as this is a solid way to stabilize a home as needed. Steel pipes are used to support the home’s foundation. However, this is an expensive way to stabilize a foundation, and it is inferior regarding strength, especially when the foundation is lifted off the supporting soils. Lift with steel piers causes many problems.

Helical steel piers are another option for repairing a foundation. Helical steel piers do not typically last as long as traditional steel piers. Although the process to install helical steel piers is great for new construction, this is not considered the best solution for repairing existing foundations.

Concrete piers can be used to stabilize a foundation, and the process includes pouring concrete into holes that are beneath the existing foundation. The process of using concrete piers takes a number of weeks and can fail during the hardening process for the concrete.

When you invest in GridLock Foundations, you will have the most efficient, durable, and cost-effective way to stabilize a home’s foundation and ensure safety. This is a modern foundation system, and GridLock Foundations are useful to contractors because they offer easy installation and are cost-efficient.

Old school ways to repair foundation issues have been used since the 1800s, and it’s time to find a better solution. Traditional foundation repair that uses push piers, helical piers, slabjacking, foundation piers, or mudjacking uses technology that is critically outdated.

GridLock Foundations are innovative, technologically advanced, and simple solutions to cracked foundation walls, underpinning, and for all home foundation repairs that bring foundation repair into the 21st century.
