Foundation Repair in Bedford, OH

My Bedford stone foundation bulges inward in one spot. Can that be stabilized?

Often it can. We'll check how much the wall has moved and what shape the mortar is in. Depending on what we find, bracing from inside and drainage to relieve water pressure can hold the wall.

Our Bedford house sits near a ravine and a corner has dropped. What can be done?

A corner that settles near a slope has usually lost support in the soil under the footing. Steel push piers can be driven down to firmer ground and carry that corner. We'll inspect it and explain the plan.

Why do foundations on Bedford hillsides crack more on one side?

Soil on a slope slowly creeps downhill, especially when it's wet. That puts extra pressure on the uphill wall. Runoff from above adds water to the same side, which is why cracks often show there first.

I'm seeing stair-step cracks in the block at the corner of my Bedford basement. What's going on?

Stair-step cracks follow mortar joints and usually mean the wall is moving, inward or down. We'll measure the wall and check the footing. Straps, the Richtech system or piers fix the different causes.

We're told our Bedford wall needs to be dug out and rebuilt. Is there another option?

Many bowing walls can be braced and straightened from inside with the Richtech Stabilizer System. That avoids excavating the yard. A wall that has failed badly may still need rebuilding, and we'll tell you honestly which case yours is.

Our Bedford home has a brick foundation that's crumbling. Is that something you repair?

Yes. Older brick foundations often have eroded mortar and can bow or settle. We'll inspect the wall, check for movement and recommend bracing, piers or crack sealing as needed.

Floors in our Bedford house slope toward one side. Is the foundation settling?

Sloping floors can come from settlement, from sagging beams or both. We'll check the foundation and footing to see whether that side has dropped. If it has, push piers can support it.

Does a leaking crack in my Bedford foundation need structural repair too?

Not always. If the crack is stable, injection with epoxy or polyurethane seals it. If the wall is still moving, it needs to be stabilized first so the crack doesn't reopen.

Can I get a written warranty on Bedford foundation work?

Yes. Every job comes with our transferable lifetime warranty in writing. If you sell your Bedford home, the coverage goes to the next owner, and you can hand buyers the paperwork.
