ABC Foundation Repair was founded in 1982 by Glenn Alexander and is still owned by him today. Glenn went into the Navy in 1966 and got out in 1972. He went to work for his father who had owned a foundation repair/termite company. After 10 years of working with his father with three brothers and two sisters, his dad had said, Son, you should open up your company.
This pie is sliced too thin. Engineers require peers to be 6,000-6,500 PSI. That is determined by the gauge on the hydraulic compression machine (such as the one below). At ABC, we require 8,000-8,500 PSI. Sometimes to achieve that pressure, we have to water jet the piers in the ground. If we get 8,000 PSI or better, there is less than 1% pier failure which means no callbacks.

House leveling is the process of lifting or adjusting a home back to it's original, level position. Often, homes tend to shift over decades of soil erosion and ground movement. New homes are held to a standard of which the foundation should be no more than 1.5 inches deviated from level (per the American Concrete Institute).

Report
Wood beams are placed on the interior concrete columns and on the perimeter of the foundation. A slab foundation is made mostly of reinforced concrete. It is a thick slab of concrete that is poured directly over the ground where the house will sit. To accommodate for additional weight around the perimeter of the home, the perimeter of the slabs are typically up to 36 deep.
