<a id="Symptoms">

Foundation Problems We Solve Every Day

Foundation problems seldom begin with dramatic structural damage. They often begin with small warning signs like 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 see when it's time to have your foundation inspected.

  • Foundation Cracks

    Vertical, stair-step and horizontal cracks in poured concrete, block or brick foundations are all possible signs of structural movement. Some cracks are purely cosmetic, while, others require foundation crack repair to stop further damage.

  • Bowing Walls

    Bowing or inward-leaning basement walls often indicate pressure building against the foundation. Over time, this movement can become more severe, which is why early evaluation matters.

  • Sticking Windows and Doors

    Doors and windows that stick out of nowhere, won’t latch properly or show uneven gaps often mean 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 caused by foundation settlement or crawl space support issues, these symptoms are worth addressing.

  • Leaning Chimney

    A chimney that looks tilted or pulled away from your home can signal movement beneath its footing. Because chimneys carry so much weight, even small shifts can point to a larger foundation concern.

  • Street Creep

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

Causes

Where Foundation Damage Comes From

Foundation issues don't happen overnight. Changing soil conditions, moisture, drainage and natural settling build stress on your home over time. Untreated, 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 cracks in walls, sticking doors, sloping floors and stair-step cracks in brick.

  • Expansive Soil

    Soil expands, contracts, settles and shifts naturally as moisture levels change. This constant cycle places repeated stress on foundations, producing cracks, settlement and structural movement over time.

  • Poor Drainage

    Gutters, grading and downspouts each play a part in protecting your foundation. When water collects around the home, hydrostatic pressure and saturated soil can drive faster foundation settlement and basement wall movement.

  • Freeze-Thaw Cycles

    Midwest winters mean repeated freeze-thaw cycles that cause soil and concrete to expand and contract. In time, this movement can shift the ground beneath your home and contribute to foundation cracks and settlement.

  • Poorly Compacted Fill Soils

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

  • Extended Dry Periods

    Long dry spells can cause the soil beneath your home to shrink and pull away from the foundation. Without steady support beneath it, the foundation may shift or settle unevenly, producing cracks and other signs of structural movement.

Steel push piers and helical piers are installed down to stable load-bearing soil for permanent stabilization of settling foundations and, often, lift portions of the home closer to their original position.

Wall Repair

Whether walls bow, crack or lean inward, engineered systems such as PowerBrace® and GeoLock® stabilize foundation walls without major excavation.

House Jacks

SmartJack® crawl space supports back up weakened floor systems, helping repair sagging floors and return strength and stability throughout the home.

Crawl Space Repair

Moisture control, encapsulation, drainage improvements and structural support combine to protect crawl spaces while helping prevent sagging floors, wood rot and mold growth.

How It Works

Your Foundation Inspection, Step by Step

Step 1

Look Over Your Home

We begin by inspecting both the interior and exterior for the usual signs of foundation movement, things like 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 see where movement has occurred.

Step 3

Trace the Contributing Factors

There’s always something behind foundation issues. We evaluate drainage, grading, gutters, moisture conditions and surrounding soil to nail down what’s contributing to the issue.

Step 4

Document Everything We Find

Drawing on measurements and observations collected throughout the inspection, we figure out the extent of any movement, identify patterns and evaluate whether conditions appear stable or continue to change.

Step 5

Go Over Your Solutions

Before we leave, we’ll explain our findings in clear, straightforward terms, field your questions and provide a personalized repair recommendation. Because every home is different, there’s no one-size-fits-all foundation repair solution.
