What is Foundation Repair?

Your foundation is the most critical structural element of your home, and foundation problems demand immediate professional attention. From minor cracks to major structural issues, experienced masonry contractors have the skills and equipment to properly diagnose and repair foundation problems.

Foundation issues manifest in many ways: visible cracks in basement walls, doors and windows that stick, uneven floors, gaps between walls and ceilings, and exterior stair-step cracks in brick or block. These symptoms often indicate underlying problems that will worsen without intervention.

Professional foundation repair addresses both symptoms and root causes. This may include crack injection, carbon fiber reinforcement, wall anchors, underpinning, and drainage improvements. The appropriate solution depends on the foundation type, soil conditions, and nature of the damage.

Masonry foundation repair focuses on block and brick foundations, which are common in older homes and certain regions. These foundations develop characteristic problems including mortar joint deterioration, block cracking, and bowing walls from lateral soil pressure.

Early intervention in foundation problems is crucial. What starts as a minor crack can progress to significant structural damage if water infiltration accelerates deterioration. Professional assessment helps homeowners understand problem severity and repair options before issues escalate.
