Foundation Solutions
Restoring structural integrity—and real property value.
At Notch and Weld, we specialize in revitalizing damaged, aging, or failing foundation systems using engineered repair designs that deliver real, lasting results. Our work goes far beyond basic fixes—we transform properties from being non-lendable liabilities into structurally sound, financeable assets.
Using solutions like helical piers, wall anchors, and other advanced stabilization systems, we bring properties back into underwriting condition—ensuring they meet the standards required for refinancing, resale, or long-term investment.
Every foundation repair we perform is based on an engineered plan and executed with precision, ensuring not only safety and stability but real, recoverable value. We’re committed to helping our clients protect their investment by restoring confidence in the structure and ensuring the property remains a long-term, underwritable asset.
Whether you’re preparing for sale, seeking to refinance, or simply want to protect your home, we provide the expertise and accountability that makes a difference—repairing right, the first time.

Resistance piers (push piers) are deep foundations that displace soil as they’re pushed into the ground. They’re installed in two stages: first, a single pier is pushed into the soil using the building as reaction, and then subsequent piers are installed around the perimeter, spaced 5-7 feet apart.

Structural welding
For projects that require a strong, rugged weld, our team turns to stick welding. This versatile process uses a consumable electrode to create a powerful arc that can penetrate even the thickest metals. With stick welding, we can produce welds that are as tough as they are reliable.
Anchoring with confidence, our helical pier installations enable tie-back systems to hold firm, providing a durable and long-lasting solution for soil stabilization and structural support.
