Foundation Repair in Athens, OH

Review Logo 4.2 (174)

In Athens, a range of soil types such as silty clay and sandy loam can be found, each reacting differently to the area's 40 inches of annual rainfall and 17 inches of snow. This precipitation can destabilize the soil beneath your home, leading to foundation problems like settling, sinking, and heaving. Homeowners may notice signs of foundation distress, including wall cracks, uneven floors, and doors and windows that stick. To address these issues, Ohio Basement Authority offers a variety of permanent foundation repair solutions, including pier systems and wall anchors, designed to restore your home’s structural integrity.

"From the field inspector, Tanner, to the foreman, Joseph, the experience has been great! Everyone was very professional and communicated well. Tanner did an excellent job with his inspection, information presented via short videos and actual samples of the materials and then communicating options and prices. Joseph and his crew showed up on time, very courteous, explained the job, and cleaned up completely. The work done was a crawlspace waterproofing system and encapsulation."

Types of Foundation Damage in Athens

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Athens

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.
