Foundation Repair

The Brown Method

foundation repair using auger on home exterior The Brown Method of foundation repair is completed by excavating a small hole exposing the perimeter beam of the structure. Then, a shaft is excavated and concrete is poured at the base of the shaft where we set rebar to strengthen the pier. Once set, we complete the concrete pour of the shaft yielding a solid, reinforced concrete pier.

This benefits the stability of the pier being installed to stabilize your structure.

Then, eight pieces of rebar are used to form and stabilize a haunch. The footprint of the haunch is key to the success of our method. Once cured, we use a hydraulic jack to level the structure. A steel pipe is placed to secure the level position. The jack is removed and we install a sonotube and it is filled with concrete. Our installation method ensures the sonotube is cut to match the bottom of the beam cradling the beam.

We then backfill the area that was excavated and the installation is complete.

With The Brown Method, you get the benefits of steel reinforced concrete throughout the pier, supplying a solid structure and a large footprint on which the pier sits.

Sagging Floors?

Your Foundation May Be Trying to Tell You Something

showing Sagging Floor and it's fix by Brown Foundation Repair

Have you noticed uneven or sagging floors in your home? That visible gap between the baseboard and flooring isn’t just cosmetic – it’s often a warning sign of foundation issues, especially in pier and beam homes.

Over time, shifting soil, moisture problems, or deteriorating wood supports can cause your foundation to settle unevenly. When this happens, the floors above begin to dip, bounce, or separate from the wall. Ignoring these issues can lead to more costly structural damage down the road.

At Brown Foundation Repair, we specialize in identifying and correcting these problems at the source. Using heavy-duty crawl space support jacks, we can precisely lift and re-level sagging floors—restoring both the structural integrity and comfort of your home.

If your home is built on a pier and beam foundation and you’re seeing signs like sloping floors, wall cracks, or sticking doors, it’s time to act.

Major thanks to Lee for evaluating our home, preparing a budget-friendly quote and scheduling our foundation... repair. The crew arrived on time, Noe and Adan, answered our questions and offered information on what to expect after the work was completed. I am impressed by the care that was taken during this process: planning, working and clean up. I have already recommended Brown foundation repair to a family member.read more

Brown Foundation was fantastic. They saved our foundation (and wood flooring) from needing repair by... installing a proper drainage system around the house. It was pricy, but not nearly as pricy as the foundation/flooring repair would be five months down the road! Our supervisor Harold was great. He came out to our property several times to answer my many questions and make sure we were getting exactly what we needed. The work was neat and well-done. The only issue we had was not being told we needed electric work (it was on the estimate but not discussed, and we had to make a few calls to get it to happen) and the original placement of the pop-up valve was unwise (pooled water on the sidewalk instead of draining to the street). But any home project will have some bumps and miscommunications - the big difference is that Brown fixed these problems quickly and professionally. Wendell was especially helpful in fixing the back end of the project.Photos: note the muddy part of water pooling in our yard and into our foundation in the “before”, versus after.read more
