Not Just Concrete | Trusted Fence Installation in Tipton, IN

Many Tipton homes sit on clay-rich soil that expands and contracts with moisture, causing foundation movement. We start with a thorough inspection to identify cracks or uneven settling. For repair, we use proper drainage solutions, underpinning with helical piers or push piers, and sometimes slab jacking to level the foundation. We work within local building codes and ensure the fix addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.

For cracked or sunken concrete, we first assess whether repair or replacement is more cost-effective. If the damage is shallow, we can do a concrete overlay or patch that matches the existing color and texture. For larger issues—like sunken steps—we may remove and repour, ensuring proper sub-base compaction and drainage to prevent future problems. We always match the finish to your property’s style.

Our area’s clay soil can shift after heavy rain or during dry spells, causing fence posts to lean. When we install or repair fences, we dig below the frost line (at least 30 inches), use gravel at the base for drainage, and set posts in concrete that’s slightly mounded to shed water. For existing leaning posts, we can re-set them with bracing and additional concrete collar to keep them plumb. We also check the fence line for proper grading so water doesn’t pool around posts.
