Foundation Repair

Each year thousands of homeowners are faced with the need for foundation repairs due to settlement. Most settlement is caused by:

  • Soil/fill dirt was not properly compacted before construction began or organic materials/debris in the soil breaking down over time

  • Excessive moisture, poor drainage, and/or flooding

  • Soil movement or erosion due to slope grade

  • Poor initial construction methods or errors

Interior Symptoms:

  • Cracking in floor surfaces

  • Sloping floors or doors and windows that don’t align

  • Cracking of plaster or Sheetrock walls

Exterior Symptoms:

  • Cracks in foundation walls or brick wall

  • Pulling and separation of windows and doors from surrounding siding and trim

What Causes Foundation Damage?

Damage to your foundation can be caused by a few things, including poor planning before and during the home’s construction, drainage problems, plumbing, and Mother Nature. All of these can result in your foundation settling, which is when the soil is weakened and unable to support your home.
