"I have had several jobs done by this company. When they say that customer satisfaction is their priority, they mean it. The first job was a waterproofing for my basement, which has worked flawlessly thus far after nearly 4 years. The most recent job is much more complicated. I got a battery backup sump pump and crawl space encapsulation. It was actually fairly poorly done, and there was a flood in my basement a couple of days later, ironically, as well as a lot of water damage in my laundry room amongst a few other things. I reached out to them about it and spoke with Field Supervisor Levi, and GM Joe Manion, who are both spectacular men to interact with in a situation like this. They were both kind and understanding of the difficult time I was having. They not only fixed the issues the last crew didn't complete or didn't do well, but they also made up for it by offering either a discount on my job or the option of additional work done. I chose to get some additional work done as I needed it anyway, and the experience was as fantastic as I am used to from this company. The crew they sent out to do my basement egress window were superb, and the foreman was more than accommodating and polite the entire time. I really wish I could remember the foreman's name. You can tell he really cares about his crew, his customer, and is very skilled at his job. Overall, I am very happy with not only the quality of work out of this company, but also the lengths they will go to make things right for a customer. I will absolutely use them again if I ever need any more work that they provide!"

Types of Foundation Damage in Englewood

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Englewood

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.

FAQs

Financing options are often available for foundation repair. While specific programs vary, homeowners commonly use personal loans, home equity loans, or financing plans offered by contractors. Helical piers and push piers can be costly depending on soil movement and structural cracks. Consider discussing payment options with a knowledgeable contractor to find a solution that fits your budget.

The time homeowners can live in a house with foundation problems depends on severity. Minor issues like small structural cracks may pose less immediate risk compared to severe foundation settlement or soil movement. It's important to address foundation concerns promptly to prevent further damage to load-bearing walls. Seek professional advice to evaluate the risks associated with your specific situation.

Yes, older homes in Englewood are more prone to foundation issues due to wear and changes in soil conditions over time. The expansive clay soil common in the region can lead to foundation settlement and structural cracks. It's beneficial to monitor these homes closely for signs of foundation movement or slab repair needs.

Expansive clay soil and abrupt weather changes in Englewood contribute to foundation movement, causing many homes to need repair within 10–15 years. Soil movement and foundation settlement are often the result of fluctuating moisture levels and temperature extremes. Regular inspection for signs like cracks and settlement can help in early detection and repair. For a thorough evaluation, consider scheduling a professional inspection.

Fixing your foundation yourself is not advisable. Addressing foundation issues often requires specialized techniques like the installation of helical piers or push piers. DIY attempts may not effectively handle complex soil conditions or foundation settlement. It's best to consult with a foundation repair expert to ensure proper and lasting repairs. If you're seeing signs of damage, schedule an expert assessment to safeguard your home.
