Foundation Repair in the Baton Rouge area

We used WCK and were pleased.

Fireplace guy and roof guy said I had foundation issues. There are also cracks in brick that were not there before.

Yes exterior brick cracks above front door and on an exterior wall.. Separation of brick firebox from fireplace "wall" inside fireplace. Separation of brick near exterior window (roof guy spotted this). Flooring is floating lvp so no floor issues on the inside.

Then I'd also recommend WCK. You probably have a shrink/swell issue and not something related to washout but those guys will be able to tell when they excavate and provide a fix if necessary. I would be more comfortable with their system than the helical pile guys for something like this.

I'm not sure. Also, I am assuming we're talking about a slab on grade foundation and not pier and beam. Half the houses in Baton Rouge are pier and beam but I assumed you aren't in mid city or north.

Long...but ignore if you get tired of my rambling....Unfortunately I have experience in this....not br but Houston...

Three types...bubba will come out and jack little cement cylinders until depth of resistance then jack your house up and slide in a block to rest on....terrible idea...the cement plugs can fhit root rocks etc and turn in all directions. ( one day )

Another is someone coming out with same method but they run a cable through the cement slugs and keep tension ..this makes sure they can keep the piling going stratigt down..cable lock method..fast but more costly...

Another ( I used) bell bottom piers..same cost as cable lock but long process....they test your soil and determine how deep to resistance formation..they send out a team and dig square boxes out all around your house...then send out a crew that drills holes to required depth..at that depths they let the pipe spin and a cutting flange spins out at bottom...thus a bell bottom hole...they then build rebar piers things on location and put them down the hole..then pour the cement and fill bottom portion of square hole ( boxed with wood) ...you now have straight hole..all connected..to proper depth and rough sides (friction helps prevent future slipping of pilinga)...then they come in a level the house slipping blocks in between footing and house....Dawson here in Houston,...process takes weeks—-month...because waiting for cement to cure...set etc...

..they also sometimes pump a mixture of sand cement under your jacked up house as a final attempt to lock everything down

Good luck
