Sanford foundations
Foundations from the mill years.
Many Sanford homes were built during the Goodall Mills boom around the turn of the last century. More than a hundred years of frost and water have worked on their foundations.
We repair walls that can be saved and replace those that cannot, lifting the house when a full new foundation is needed. New footings go below the local frost depth so the house stays put.
Where soil is soft or wet, helical piles can carry the house on load bearing soil deeper down.
