Concrete Slab Repair

Concrete Slab RepairThis is a practical restoration job that Vintage Construction will perform on concrete that is connected to your structure. Concrete often tells a deeper tale, and when you see it cracking, it usually means that something else is moving. Whether it’s caused by ground water, ground shifting or sediment buildup, a crack in your concrete is a serious thing.

Helical Anchor Installation

Helical Anchor Installation This is one of the strongest foundation stabilization repair techniques. At Vintage Construction, we use two piering methods – helical anchor and steel push pier. Neither technique requires concrete, which makes work easier and quicker during the wet months. Helical anchor installation is practical for foundations that don’t have a structure to lock into. The helical anchor is screwed into the ground by itself, until a friction lock is made. In fact, the helical anchor can be used as a stand-alone new construction pier.

Steel Push Pier Installation

Steel Push Pier Installation This, too, is one of the strongest foundation stabilization repair techniques around. The pier is first attached to the building and then slowly driven into the ground, until it begins to uphold the structure. By utilizing the existing structure, the anchor is able to stabilize the foundation. This is a highly effective method of piering in areas with a lot of bedrock and/or solid walls. As mentioned above, it does not require the use of concrete, and upon completion, there are no above-ground signs of the procedure.

Epoxy Injection

Epoxy Injection This method of concrete repair is practical for concrete-poured walls or floors in which a crack emerges in the structural membrane. An epoxy injection bonds the two separated members back together, thus making the floor or wall as strong as it was prior to the cracking. Epoxy injections are much less expensive than replacing supporting I-beams, and they are just as strong.

Carbon-Fiber Technology

Carbon-Fiber Technology This is a new technology that is used to stabilize and enhance the capacity of structural, load-bearing walls that have fractured or bowed because of hydrostatic pressure, water damage or other causes. The procedure involves epoxying a carbon-fiber Kevlar mesh strip to a wall that is in need of repair so that it will arrest further movement without costly excavation, tiebacks or steel I-beams. If there is a crack in a block wall that is not a concrete wall, this is a fantastic, cost-effective alternative repair procedure. It can also be stitched to a perpendicular crack in walls that don’t warrant epoxy, thereby transferring the load from the weakest point back to the entire wall. This carbon-fiber Kevlar technology has been thoroughly tested and proven to be one of the best solutions on the market today.

Floor Structure Repair

Floor Structure Repair We can fix any type of floor’s structure. If it’s out of level, needing correction or support, rotted or damaged, we can repair it. Even if you just want to strengthen the existing structure to bear a heavier load, we can do it. Vintage Construction uses engineer-approved wood products (pre-stressed lumber and beams) to replace and repair your floor.
