Foundation repair

Foundation worries? Get a clear answer.

Cracks, sloping floors, doors that stick — your house is telling you something. We look, take photos, and explain what's going on in plain words. Most of the time the news is good. When something does need fixing, you get one fixed written price.

The three things we get called about most

Cracks

Thin, straight cracks are usually just the concrete drying out over the years — harmless. Wide cracks, sideways cracks, or cracks that keep growing are worth a look.

Sloping or bouncy floors

Sometimes the house settled decades ago and stopped. Sometimes the supports under the floor need attention. The crawlspace tells the truth — that's where we look.

Sticking doors & damp crawlspaces

Doors that suddenly stick and musty smells under the house often trace back to water in the soil. Fixing the drainage early is usually the cheapest repair there is.

When it's worth a look

One of these alone isn't bad news — it's a reason to check. The inspection is free, takes 30–45 minutes, and you keep the photos and our plain-English read of what they mean.

What we do about it

1 — Look and explain

We check everything, photograph it, and tell you what's actually going on. Plenty of inspections end with "this is cosmetic — don't spend money on it." You keep the photos either way.

2 — Fix what needs fixing

Crack repair, replacing worn supports, releveling, and correcting the drainage that caused the problem in the first place. One fixed written price before work starts.

3 — Strengthen while we're there

If your home also turns out to be unbolted — common in the same older houses — we'll show you and price it separately. Your call, always.

Buying or selling

Foundation answers during escrow — fast

A vague "foundation issues" note in a home inspection can stall a sale. We give buyers, sellers, and agents a clear, photo-documented answer: what's there, what it costs to fix, and what's fine to leave alone — in words everyone at the table understands.

Common questions

Is every crack a problem?

No — most aren't. Thin, straight cracks are normal. The ones worth checking are sideways cracks, stair-step patterns, anything wider than a pencil, or a crack that's clearly grown. When in doubt, text us a photo first.

How much does foundation repair cost?

It ranges a lot — from a few hundred dollars for sealing a crack or fixing drainage, up to much more for major settlement work. That's why we quote from a real inspection, in writing, fixed.

Can you inspect a house I'm buying or selling?

Yes — this is a big part of what we do. We work on escrow timelines, and the report is written for the deal: what's there, what it costs, what's cosmetic. Agents and buyers are welcome at the inspection.

What about moisture under the house?

Worth taking seriously — wet soil is behind most of the settling we repair. Often the fix is drainage and airflow, not concrete work, and it's far cheaper to handle early.
