Foundation stabilization services. Services include soil condition and void detection, micropile installation, slope stabilization, structure re-leveling, slab leveling, pool shoring and waterproofing.We work closely with engineers to establish soil conditions, detect voids, and to determine which system is best for the job.

Eric’s career in home building started some 25 years ago while living in California. He had opportunities to work on luxury homes in Balboa, high-rises in L.A. and cliff-hanger houses in Malibu. It was in 1997, after working with the Union on Honolulu’s Inter-Island Terminal and under private contractors for several years, that he became a licensed General Contractor and established Levora Builders, doing primarily home building and remodeling. Micropile technology first came to his attention during a major remodel of a Waialae Iki home. It seemed the perfect solution for so many foundation problems he had come across during his career. It required no excavation, took less space, had less of an impact on the grounds than other methods commonly used, and was perfect in difficult access situations such as underneath structures or even inside occupied dwellings with the typical 8’ ceiling. Due to ultra low soil displacement, it can be used adjacent to pools without cracking plaster or tile. The system worked beautifully on the Waialae Iki home, so he decided to try it on his own residence. He and his wife had recently purchased an old kama’aina bungalow with a cracked slab but plenty of charm. It was built half on an adobe hill and half cantilevered out. The house itself was almost an antique, but worth saving. There was a 9” grade difference between one end of the house and the other and movement was evident from one year to the next. He had Micropiles installed every 8 feet, and integrated them into a grade beam all the way around. The process and results were again impressive. It became obvious to him that this system needed to be available to everyone living on adobe soil, situated on a hillside and anyone experiencing subsidence. Eric works closely with an engineer to determine how best to approach each job: How many Micropiles are needed & at what intervals, how to handle sub-terranian voids & water run-off, whether a retaining wall is salvageable with micropiles and buttresses, etc… This, he has determined, is the most low-impact and cost effective method available today, and so, Anchor Systems Hawaii has gone from home building to foundation saving!
