Foundation Problems We Solve
Foundation problems seldom begin with dramatic structural damage. They often start with subtle clues: wall cracks, sticking doors, uneven floors or a leaning chimney. Browse the common signs of foundation damage to understand what may be happening with your home, and learn when it's time to have your foundation inspected.
Foundation Cracks
Vertical, stair-step and horizontal cracks in poured concrete, block or brick foundations can each be a sign of structural movement. Though some cracks are cosmetic, others require foundation crack repair to avoid additional damage.
Bowing Walls
Basement walls that bow or lean inward are often a sign of pressure building against the foundation. Given time, this movement can become more severe, making an early evaluation worthwhile.
Sticking Windows and Doors
Doors and windows that stick out of nowhere, won’t latch properly or show uneven gaps may be signs that your home’s foundation has shifted. These changes often occur as the structure moves out of alignment.
Sagging or Bouncy Floors
Sloping, bouncy or uneven floors may point to structural movement beneath your home. Whether it stems from 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. Since a chimney is a heavy structure, even small changes can indicate 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
What Causes Foundation Damage?
Foundation issues almost never happen overnight. Changing soil conditions, moisture, drainage and natural settling build stress on your home over time. Left alone, these issues can eventually contribute to foundation failure.
Foundation Settlement
Soil beneath your home can compress or shift over time, 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 naturally expands, contracts, settles and shifts as moisture levels change. This continuous cycle places repeated stress on foundations, and leads to cracks, settlement and structural movement over time.
Poor Drainage
Gutters, grading and downspouts all play a role in protecting your foundation. When water pools around the home, hydrostatic pressure and saturated soil can accelerate foundation settlement and basement wall movement.
Poorly Compacted Fill Soils
If the fill beneath your home wasn’t properly compacted during construction, it can slowly settle over time. As that ground sinks, areas 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. Lacking consistent support, the foundation can move or settle unevenly, leading to cracks and other signs of structural movement.

How It Works
Your Foundation Inspection, Step by Step
Step 1
Look Over Your Home
We begin with an inspection of both the interior and exterior for common 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.
Then we examine 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 locate where movement has occurred.
Step 3
Uncover Contributing Factors
Foundation issues rarely occur without a cause. We evaluate drainage, grading, gutters, moisture levels and surrounding soil to nail down what’s contributing to the issue.
Step 4
Document Findings
Using measurements and observations collected throughout the inspection, we determine how far the movement has gone, note any patterns and judge whether conditions appear stable or will continue to change.
Step 5
Lay Out Your Solutions
Before we leave, we’ll break down our findings in clear, straightforward terms, answer whatever questions you have and leave you with a personalized repair recommendation. Every home is different, which is why there’s no one-size-fits-all foundation repair solution.

When Toby bought his new home in Beverly Hills, Florida, he noticed water pooling along the side of his driveway and in front of his garage, caused by the slope directing water toward the house.
