Your foundation walls are critical to your home's overall stability. Over time, various factors, such as soil movement, water intrusion, or poor construction, can cause your foundation walls to bow, crack, or lean. If left unaddressed, these issues can lead to severe structural damage.

Signs that you might need foundation wall repair can include:

Foundation Crack Repair

Foundation wall crack repair

Our foundation crack repair services stop leaks and pests while preventing further foundation damage.

Foundation cracks are usually a symptom of foundation settlement or bowing. Cracks in your foundation can lead to water infiltration, pest issues, and further structural damage. Whether the cracks are vertical, horizontal, or stair-step, it is important to address them before they worsen.

There are three primary types of foundation cracks to look for:

Our Crack Repair Method

Crack injection is a common method used to repair foundation cracks, but its effectiveness depends on the severity and type of crack. If the crack is caused by structural damage or water damage, crack injection may not address the underlying issue. Instead, we use long-lasting solutions to support foundations and prevent further settlement and cracking. Depending on the cause of the foundation cracks, we might use underpinning, wall anchors, or a combination of these structural repair solutions to ensure that your foundation remains strong and stable.


Crawl Space Structural Repair

Our crawl space support jacks quickly and effectively lift sagging floors back into position.

Excess moisture in crawl spaces can lead to issues such as sagging floors and structural damage. When moisture levels are too high, support beams and joists can rot, ultimately weakening the building's structure. Additionally, if the supports are spaced too far apart or the ground underneath isn't stable, it can lead to settling and uneven weight across the floor above. Issues like poor drainage, high humidity, and not properly sealing the crawl space can make these problems even worse.

Signs that you might need crawl space structural repair can include:
