House Leveling & Foundation LiftingThroughout the Kansas City Metro

We Bring Your Home Back to Level—Safely, Permanently, and Professionally.

When Your House Sinks, ABI Lifts It Back Where It Belongs

Have you noticed your floors sloping? Doors sticking? Cracks growing wider across your walls? These are classic signs your foundation may be settling or sinking. And in the Kansas City area, expansive clay soil, poor drainage, or construction shortcuts are often to blame.


At ABI Corporation, we’ve been leveling homes and lifting sinking foundations across Lee’s Summit and the KC Metro since 1969. We use industry-proven systems like push piers, helical piers, and hydraulic lifts to restore the structure of your home—without unnecessary demolition or disruption.

What Causes a House to Settle or Sink?

Foundation settlement happens when the soil beneath your home can no longer support its weight. In our region, this is incredibly common due to:


  • Expansive clay soils that shrink in dry seasons and swell with rain
  • Poor soil compaction during original construction
  • Erosion and drainage issues near the foundation
  • Heavy additions placed on weak or uneven soil
  • Tree roots removing moisture or displacing soil

When these conditions exist, parts of your foundation begin to drop or shift—causing structural damage and expensive downstream problems.

How ABI Lifts & Levels Foundations


We use piering systems that stabilize your foundation by transferring its weight from unstable soil to load-bearing strata deep underground. There’s no guesswork—just solid engineering and proven results.

Steel Push Piers

These heavy-duty galvanized steel piers are driven into the ground beneath your foundation until they reach bedrock or stable soil. We then use hydraulic pressure to lift and lock your home into place.

Ideal for:

  • Heavy structures
  • Deep settlement
  • Homes with concrete footings

Advantages:

  • Maximum depth and stability
  • Uniform lifting pressure
  • Minimal excavation
  • Fast, permanent results
Room under construction with ladders, exposed studs, and a doorway.

Ideal for:

  • Porch or deck stabilization
  • Additions or garages
  • Sites with limited access
  • Homes built on fill dirt

Advantages:

  • Quick, low-vibration installation
  • Instant load-bearing capacity
  • Can be installed in tight spaces
  • No curing time needed

Helical Piers

Helical piers look like giant screws. They’re twisted into the ground, anchoring your home to competent soil. These are excellent for lighter structures or areas with tough-to-access soil.

Construction site: concrete blocks and scaffolding with a person working; sunny, outdoors.

Ideal for:

  • Bouncy or uneven floors above crawl space
  • Moisture-damaged framing
  • Homes with older wooden support beams

Crawl Space Jacking & Support

If your floor is sagging over a crawl space, we install adjustable steel support posts (crawl space jacks) to lift and stabilize the floor joists.

FAQs About House Leveling

  • Will my house be perfectly level again?

    We lift the home to as close to level as safely possible. In some cases, a full lift isn’t recommended to avoid cracking or further stress. But we always stop the movement and stabilize permanently.

  • How long does it take?

    Most piering and lifting jobs take 2–5 days, depending on home size and pier count.


  • Is the repair disruptive?

    Not at all. We excavate only where necessary and leave your property clean. Most homeowners can stay in their home during work.

  • Do you offer financing or phased plans?

    Yes. We work with multiple financing providers and can create phased solutions for larger or multi-stage projects.
