Originally, the plumbing company on site thought that the cause of the heaving foundation and broken slab was due to the underlying busted pipe.  However, being that the pipe in question was a drain line, NuBilt staff understood that this type of piping would not build the kind of pressure necessary to cause the soils to heave and the foundation to crack.  After further inspection, it was determined that the cause of the broken drain pipe was due to the settling of the foundation.  The homeowners structural damage was addressed and cracks were repaired.

NuBilt Restoration & Construction was called in to bid on a project initiated by the community and their management company. It was determined through engineering study that a Denver Townhouse Complex had a drainage issue causing roof runoff water to collect between the foundation and the front walks of the units. This problem caused the water to settle and freeze creating pressure against the foundation. The pressure against the foundation caused the foundation to shift. When the foundation shifted, the front facades moved and cracked. The front porches moved and the building appearance and potential safety issues became a major concern.
