RELY ON THE ALPHALIFT TEAM FOR THE COLONY FOUNDATION REPAIR
The Colony’s unique geography and soil composition present specific challenges for homeowners. Located just south to southeast of Lake Lewisville, the area consists of moderately deep to deep upland prairie and deep bottom land soils with high clay content and slow permeability. While most lots in The Colony are well-drained and range from nearly level to moderately steep, this diverse terrain contributes to a variety of foundation issues.
The proximity to Lake Lewisville means many properties deal with fluctuating soil moisture levels, especially during cycles of drought followed by heavy rains. This expansion and contraction of our clay-rich soils can significantly impact foundations, leading to problems like uneven floors, sticking doors, and wall cracks.
We’ve observed that foundation issues in The Colony often correlate with the natural grade of the lot. Wider footprint homes frequently experience varying elevations with settlement on the perimeters, while smaller-footprint homes tend to tilt in one direction. This pattern of settlement differs between older sections of The Colony and newer developments, each presenting unique challenges.
We’re well-versed in local soil conditions, climate impacts, and typical structural issues, enabling us to deliver tailored, effective repair solutions for area homeowners. When using steel piers, we typically install them at depths between 24 and 36 feet, ensuring a solid foundation that accounts for The Colony’s soil characteristics.
The Colony’s rapid growth, evidenced by developments like Grandscape and the expansion along State Highway 121, has introduced new variables to the local foundation landscape. As providers of The Colony foundation repair services, we stay ahead of these changes, continually adapting our techniques to meet the evolving needs of the community.
Our approach to foundation repair in The Colony goes beyond just fixing immediate problems. We consider factors unique to the area, such as:
- The impact of nearby Lake Lewisville on soil moisture levels
- The effects of new large-scale developments on surrounding properties
- The specific soil composition and drainage patterns in different parts of The Colony
By taking all these factors into account, we provide comprehensive foundation repair solutions that address both current issues and potential future problems.
