Clean appearance inside or out

To cover the plates on foundation walls corrected and stabilized by Dura-Grip™ Wall Repair System, we recommend furring, lattice or plantings.

Other foundation solutions

When cracking walls, sticking doors or windows indicate settling structural foundations, Chance Helical Pier® Foundation Systems offer a patented, immediate solution. They use steel screw-type anchors that drill-type machines install through poor surface soils and embed in solid lower layers. Special brackets then attach the foundation footings to the anchors.

New building foundations on poor sites also are set on this system to help preclude potential settlement damage.

Based on over 90 years experience, these repair methods are proven, fast and affordable.

Advantages over wall replacement or other alternatives:

  • Same-day service in many cases, a fraction of the cost and trouble.
  • Neat process tidy-as-can-be jobsite, low impact on landscaping.
  • Clean finished look, almost an undetectable repair.
  • Immediate, verifiable results.
  • Adjustable in the future where necessary.
