Foundation Repair in Amherst, OH

Review Logo 4.8 (2,851)

The foundation of your home is vital for its stability and safety. In Amherst, the local clay and silt loam soils can become unstable due to the area's heavy rainfall, with an average of 38 inches per year and 20 inches of snowfall. These weather conditions can lead to soil erosion and settlement issues, causing your foundation to sink or shift, resulting in visible damage such as cracks in walls and uneven floors. Ohio Basement Authority specializes in foundation repair solutions, including foundation piers and wall anchors, to restore the stability of your home.

Types of Foundation Damage in Amherst

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Amherst

Soil Settlement

Shifting or sinking soil under your foundation causes uneven settling, which can lead to cracks and structural issues.

Moisture Changes

Seasonal soil changes, like expansion during wet periods and shrinking during dry spells, put stress on your foundation, leading to cracks and instability.

Tree Roots

Nearby growing tree roots can shift the soil beneath your foundation, causing cracks and uneven support.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure, pushing against foundation walls and causing cracks or bowing over time.

Plumbing Leaks

Plumbing leaks near your foundation can saturate the soil, weakening its stability and leading to foundation movement or cracks.

Temperature Changes

Freeze-thaw cycles cause the soil around your home to expand and contract, which can cause for your foundation to shift and cause damage.

Climate Conditions

Heavy rains or drought can cause soil to shift, leading to cracks and instability in your foundation. Foundation repair restores stability, protecting your home from further damage and ensuring long-term safety.
