Frequently Asked Questions

What causes foundation damage?

Several factors can be responsible. The most common causes are clay soil shrinkage during dry spells, tree root activity drawing moisture from the ground, poor drainage, historic mining activity, and changes in the water table.

How do I know if I have a foundation problem?

Yes, there are clear warning signs. Look for diagonal or stepped cracks in walls, doors and windows that stick, gaps between walls and ceilings, and sloping or bouncing floors.

Can all foundation problems be repaired?

Yes, virtually all foundation problems can be resolved with the right engineering approach. We assess each case individually and recommend the most effective and cost-efficient method.

Will foundation repair affect my property's value?

No — in fact, it helps. Properly documented and certified foundation repairs remove a barrier to sale and give buyers and mortgage lenders confidence in the property's structural integrity.
