Foundation Problems We Solve Every Day

Foundation problems seldom begin with dramatic structural damage. They often start small, with wall cracks, sticking doors, uneven floors or a leaning chimney. Read up on the common signs of foundation damage to figure out what may be happening with your home, and learn when it's time to have your foundation inspected.

Schedule an Inspection

  • Foundation Cracks

    Vertical, stair-step and horizontal cracks in poured concrete, block or brick foundations can all be signs of structural movement. While a few cracks are cosmetic, others require foundation crack repair to prevent additional damage.

  • Bowing Walls

    Basement walls that bow or lean inward are often a sign of pressure building against the foundation. This movement can become more severe over time, which is why early evaluation matters.

  • Sticking Windows and Doors

    Doors and windows that suddenly stick, won’t latch properly or have uneven gaps can be signs that your home’s foundation has shifted. That typically happens as the structure moves out of alignment.

  • Sagging or Bouncy Floors

    Floors that slope, bounce or feel uneven often point to structural movement beneath your home. Whether the cause is foundation settlement or crawl space support problems, these symptoms are worth addressing.

  • Leaning Chimney

    A chimney that seems to lean or pull away from your home can signal movement beneath its footing. Chimneys are heavy structures, so, even small changes can indicate a larger foundation concern.

  • Street Creep

    Expanding concrete streets and driveways can gradually push against your garage floor and foundation. This is a condition known as street creep. Left unchecked, this pressure can lead to cracks, movement and structural damage.

Causes

What's Causing Foundation Damage?

Foundation issues rarely happen overnight. Changing soil conditions, moisture, drainage and natural settling gradually place stress on your home. Left alone, these issues can eventually contribute to foundation failure.

  • Foundation Settlement

    In time, soil beneath your home can compress or shift, leaving portions of the foundation without adequate support. Common house settling signs include wall cracks, doors that stick, sloping floors and stair-step cracks in brick.

  • Expansive Soil

    Soil naturally expands, contracts, settles and shifts with changing moisture levels. This continuous cycle places repeated stress on foundations, and leads to cracks, settlement and structural movement over time.

  • Poor Drainage

    Gutters, grading and downspouts all play a role in protecting your foundation. When water collects around the home, hydrostatic pressure and soaked soil can accelerate foundation settlement and basement wall movement.

  • Freeze-Thaw Cycles

    Midwest winters bring repeated freeze-thaw cycles, causing soil and concrete to expand and contract. Over time, this movement can shift the ground beneath your home and contribute to cracks and settlement in the foundation.

  • Poorly Compacted Fill Soils

    If the soil under your home wasn’t compacted properly during construction, it can gradually settle over time. As the ground drops, areas of your foundation may lose support, producing settlement, cracks and structural movement.

  • Extended Dry Periods

    Extended dry stretches can cause the soil beneath your home to shrink and pull away from the foundation. With support that‘s no longer consistent, the foundation may shift or settle unevenly, which brings cracks and other signs of structural movement.

Our Proven Foundation Repair Solutions

Foundation Piering

Steel push piers and helical piers are installed down to stable load-bearing soil to permanently stabilize settling foundations and, in many cases, lift parts of the home closer to their original position.

Wall Repair

When walls are bowing, cracking or leaning inward, engineered systems like PowerBrace®, GeoLock® and CarbonArmor® stabilize foundation walls without major excavation.

House Jacks

SmartJack® crawl space supports strengthen weakened floor systems, helping correct sagging floors and restore strength and stability throughout the home.

Crawl Space Repair

Moisture control, encapsulation, drainage upgrades and structural support work together to protect crawl spaces while helping keep sagging floors, wood rot and mold growth at bay.

How It Works

Your Foundation Inspection

Step 1

Inspect Your Home

We begin by inspecting both the interior and exterior for telltale signs of foundation movement, such as cracks, uneven floors, sticking doors and windows, wall movement and visible gaps around the home.

Step 2

Check the Structure

Next, we look closely at your foundation and supporting structural components, including foundation walls, basement or crawl space areas, floor framing and support systems|such as foundation walls, basement or crawl space areas, floor framing and support systems|covering foundation walls, basement or crawl space areas, floor framing and support systems} to locate where movement has occurred.

Step 3

Identify Contributing Factors

Foundation issues don’t happen without a cause. We examine drainage, grading, gutters, moisture conditions and the surrounding soil to better understand what’s contributing to the issue.

Step 4

Document Everything We Find

Using measurements and observations taken throughout the inspection, we determine how far the movement has gone, identify patterns and determine whether conditions appear stable or may continue to change.

Step 5

Go Over Your Solutions

Before heading out, we’ll explain our findings in clear, straightforward terms, answer whatever questions you have and provide a personalized repair recommendation. Every home is different, and that means there’s no one-size-fits-all foundation repair solution.

Daniel and Calvin lifted and caulked our front steps. They were actually able to service our steps a day earlier than we’d originally scheduled! They were professional and very polite. Thank you so much, the entryway looks fantastic.

Jennifer Ganter

The crew was absolutely fantastic. We started and met with Dominic, our advisor who was absolutely excellent to work with and explained everything in terms that we as homeowners could understand. Dominic couldn’t have been any better! The crew that came out today for our front porch foundation repair was excellent as well! They did an amazing job and we could not have asked for more knowledgeable people. They explained everything that would be done and we saw different steps! Dalton, Corey, and Calvin were amazing and do a fantastic job!
