Crawl Space Homes
Light Years Ahead of Outdated Old-School Foundation Repair Technology
Over time, structural foundation components deteriorate, age, and settle causing shifting, settling, cracked walls, and uneven floors placing your home’s stability at risk.
The Sure Safe VR-1 foundation system is a welcome departure from costly ineffective and out-of-date foundation repair methods used today! This powerful proprietary state-of-the-art technology allows us to seat a series of 9-square foot poured-in-place concrete footings fortified with structural steel housings that connect wood posts directly under the girders where they are required.
BENEFITS: You save major money and end up with a stronger home that will protect you from nature’s forces!
Did You Know?
Footings are the most important part of foundation construction. The purpose of footings is to support the foundation, prevent settling, and is crucial to providing the proper support for the foundation and ultimately the structure. The footing size is determined by the house loads and soil strength which is a function of engineering. All too often, undersized or precast concrete footings are used in foundation repair because the limited space makes it impossible to build a form to pour concrete to the size and strength required.
Sure Safe has developed a fully patented repair method that for the first time makes it possible to repair and restore a foundation successfully. That’s because we can pour a 9-square footing, containing 1/3 of a yard of concrete, weighing a little more than ½ ton, in a tight crawl space without moving or lifting the home. But that’s not all, each footing houses a structural steel assembly immersed into the concrete providing both vertical and lateral support that protects the structure from earthquakes and uplift by locking the home to the ground from the sheer weight of the footings.
Some contractors suggest individual post-replacement. While this option can be cheaper for the short term, it won’t address the entire load your home places on your foundation. Without proper support throughout, older posts will fail faster and other foundation problems, like cracks and warping, can still arise. Your home is like a ship. When there’s a leak, don’t just bail out the water, plug the hole and sail confidently. Don’t get stuck with half-measure post-replacement repair. Use Sure Safe’s patented method for a complete foundation repair for as little as 1/3rd of industry prices.
Crawl Space Foundation Repair
San Diego is known for historic crawl space homes. Unfortunately, older crawl space homes are prone to foundation issues like failing supports, stem walls, shifting soil, and other issues. Most contractors will tell you they need to dig out the home, replace piers and posts, and use many other expensive and home-damaging repair methods. Their methods can even cost you up to $100,000.
Sure Safe's city-approved, permitted, and patented VR-1 system makes it possible to repair the foundation without raising the home, or replacing previous supports or stem walls. We use our patented geoforming technology to pour a 9 sq. foot support that provides almost 3x the support for your home. This revolutionary method also costs a fraction of the price, and can raise the value of your home at the same time!
Cripple Wall Repair
Cripple wall damage can be devastating for your home and foundation. Sure Safe is the only company that can repair your cripple wall without jacking up the house to make repairs. Other providers will tell you they need to dig out the home and replace the walls themselves. Beware! Replacing existing stem walls can lead to even more damage to the home. These outdated repair methods can even cost up to $100,000.
Sure Safe's patented Sure Wall repair system uses geoforming poured concrete supports to create a new transfer beam without replacing old walls. With our patented system, you can save up to $80,000 on crawl space stem wall foundation repair. The Sure Wall is even ICC-listed and city-approved, meaning appraisers will accept the repairs and improve the value of your home! Get a stronger foundation today!
