The damaging effects of heavy rainfall and downed trees on home foundations and other structures are not immediately apparent. Cantsink helical piers keep your home stable in the storm surge.
With so many heavy storms impacting Metro Atlanta in 2022, homeowners may discover conditions under their houses that have compromised foundation stability. Sudden downpours create unanticipated runoff that inundate soil and cause unexpected pressure variations. Water patterns unknown to builders during construction wash away protective layers of soil around or under the house, which allows damaging water intrusion.
Hurricanes Irma and Nate doused the region in recent weeks with abnormal quantities of rain: downing trees, flooding streets and loading groundwater to full capacity. These conditions may be changing ground conditions under your house in ways you don’t immediately notice.
As water in the soil shifts its positioning or hidden tree roots deteriorate after the tree falls, changes in pressure could cause home foundations to sink, undermining structural integrity.
Subtle changes in alignment can signal settling has begun. Vertical wall cracks, doors and windows that stick or sagging floors indicate your home is not level. Simply filling cracks with mortar or cement won’t solve these issues. With support from Cantsink’s ICC-certified helical piers, however, foundation settling is halted for the life of the home, ensuring your home stays stable in the storm surge.
Cantsink has a guaranteed, permanent solution that can correct foundation instability and give you lasting peace of mind. With one call or click, you can schedule an appointment with a Cansink expert to visit your home for a free assessment of your foundation needs.

Does your patio furniture wobble? Maybe the problem isn’t the tables and chairs and it’s time for a call to Cantsink’s experts with decades of experience on how to Keep Patios on the Level.
The concrete and pavers that create patio surfaces are heavy. If the soil below the patio is soft or has been undermined by moisture and changing temperatures over the years, the surface structure can buckle and crack. As pockets of soil sink at varying rates or repeated freezing and thawing in the change of seasons causes expansion and contraction, the integrity of the patio is undermined.
Without subsurface support, patios can become uneven, unsightly and in need of repair. Georgia’s long warm seasons make outdoor living a pervasive part of family life here, from dining al fresco to summer evenings with friends and neighbors under the stars. There’s no time to constantly think about how to keep patios on the level.

At first the signs may have seemed innocuous: floors that felt oddly uneven, tiny cracks in foundation cement and interior drywall, or doors that stick and are racked unevenly in the frame. Then, the cracks got bigger and more cracks appeared, or windows wouldn’t open all the way. Finally, you noticed water seeping under the house from the widening foundation cracks and realized: My house is settling.
Maybe the problems came on slowly, or appeared suddenly in the wake of a rainy season. Any number of factors can cause a home’s foundation to settle and crack, and a homeowner can’t always know when those conditions are present.
The presence of improperly compacted backfill soils under the house, for example, can create conditions that undermine the foundation. Homes close to bodies of water such as lakes, streams or rivers also are at high risk because of higher moisture content in the soil. Water patterns that builders may not have foreseen during construction could wash away protective layers of soil around or under the house allowing intrusion that
causes the foundation to sink and you may notice your house is settling.
Finally, tree roots can silently create problems under a foundation, either by growth and extension of a healthy tree’s root system under the home or the biodegradation of a root system from a tree that died or was cut down.
The important thing to know is you can stop the sinking and restore the house to structural alignment for good with just one call to Cantsink.
Cantsink’s friendly experts will come to your house and assess the damage. With an inspection of the property and strategic soil samples, they can identify the trouble spots and recommend a permanent, cost-effective solution.

If you are heading into the summer with unresolved foundation issues here are a few things to keep in mind as the seasons change. Here are a few things to keep in mind in when it comes to the need of Foundation Repairs due to the seasonal change.
During the Spring and Summer months there is an increase in moisture in the air. The increase in humidity, temperate climates of Atlanta and occasional rain can often lead to soil absorbing and holding more moisture than during other parts of the year. Soil will often swell slightly as a result of the increased moisture. This can cause additional shifts in an already unstable or compromised foundation.
As the temperatures increase going into the summer months the moisture can be somewhat offset by the higher temperatures. During the summer soil may shrink in comparison to Spring. A qualified and experienced contractor such as Cantsink has the expertise to take all of these different variables into account and determine the best approach to solving your foundation problems.
Fall in Georgia is a beautiful time of year with leaves changing their color and the crisp fall air signaling the changing seasons. September and October are generally the driest months of the year. Dry soil is typically the most stable relative to other soil conditions. While foundation issues may be less likely to appear during this time the dryness and timing relative to major winter holidays can make this an ideal time to make repairs that may have been discovered.
Winter in Georgia is also relatively dry. Georgia has seen the occasional snow from time to time but overall the cooler temps and dryer air make for compact and stable soil. However many home owners choose to avoid major repairs because they simply want to avoid having major construction overlap with the holiday season.
There really is no ideal time to discover or repair a foundation problem. Foundation issues can represent a significant risk to homeowners where safety and home value are concerned. While there is no “perfect time” for foundation repairs there are important considerations that must be made when assessing and remediating foundation problems. The best time to address a foundation issue is right now. Using a certified and knowledgeable company like Cantsink is the best thing you can do to ensure that your foundation issues are diagnosed correctly and the proper solutions are recommended and implemented. Call Cantsink today to arrange your free estimate.
Steps that are buckled, sloping, uneven, cracked or separating from the front porch are in need of extra support to return them to level alignment. Fortunately, cost-effective Cantsink helical piers can do the job quickly and produce stable steps permanently.
If mounting the front steps to your home feels like negotiating an obstacle course instead of making a graceful entrance, it may be time to call Cantsink for an inspection.
A number of potential factors could cause disruptions in the alignment of front steps. Soft soils under the steps frequently sink under structural pressure. Water infiltration from saturating rains and runoff from surrounding impervious surfaces also undermine structural stability. And tree roots growing beneath concrete and brick push the steps out of their original position.
Homeowners who see their front steps separating from the porch or notice an unmistakable tilt in their alignment should contact Cantsink right away. Cantsink’s patented helical piers are easily installed by trained professionals and virtually undetectable once in place. A Cantsink expert can evaluate the problem and devise a customized solution that will permanently counteract any further sinking or separation.
Helical piers work by placing support deep beneath ground level, embedding support from 100% U.S.-made steel into substrata layers unaffected by moisture, roots or surface conditions. Plus, Cantsink helical piers are 50% stronger than any other helical piers on the market because of their patented design. They are manufactured locally in Cantsink’s net-zero-energy facility in a process that creates less waste than similar products on the market.
Cantsink is celebrating over 30 years in the structural stability business. Those decades of expertise assure every customer they are getting the best possible advice and service to diagnose the problem and design a solution to create stable steps.

While Spring breezes blow and emerging buds give way to blossoms, backyard pools are transitioning, too, from the cold winter’s freezing temperatures. Proper pool support is essential to ensuring that the summer fun goes uninterrupted .
Now is the time to inspect pools and pool patios for signs of damage from the expansion, shrinking and settling that can compromise the stability of the pool surface & pool support. Soaking Spring rains also may undermine soils surrounding a pool. Softened, shifting soil allows these heavy surfaces to sink unevenly. Pools in areas near bodies of water such as lakes and rivers are especially susceptible to instability in saturated soil, which often results in settling or cracking.
Cantsink’s patented helical piers provide lasting, cost-effective stability for weighty pool surfaces. Easy to install and virtually undetectable once placed, Cantsink helical piers offer permanent peace of mind for decades of family summer fun.
Freezing and thawing soils under and around the pool during the winter can cause the concrete surfaces to settle unevenly, putting pressure on the pool surfaces that causes cracks. When the pool is filled, adding even more weight, water seeps through the cracks, eroding them further.
Ultimately, this means water loss. The damage can even allow contaminants to enter pool water if the cracks become large and deep enough to open a pathway to surrounding soil.
Settling also causes pool patios to buckle unevenly, creating a tripping hazard and disrupting the placement of poolside furnishings.
Homeowners who see signs of cracking or settling in their pool area should contact Cantsink right away. Call or click to schedule an appointment with a Cantsink expert. Initial inspection can begin the process of designing a customized solution that will provide optimal pool support to stabilize the pool and prevent additional damage. Making the call now will ensure the pool is ready for summer fun for years to come.
