Foundation Repair in Bentleyville, OH

The uphill wall of our Bentleyville basement is bowing. Why just that one?

It holds back the most soil and usually the most water. That steady side pressure pushes the middle of the wall inward. Straps or Richtech braces can hold it, depending on how far it has moved.

Our Bentleyville front porch has pulled away from the house. What's going on?

Porches often sit on shallow footings or on fill that settled after construction. When the ground below compacts, the porch drops. Push piers or a new support can fix it, and we'll check the house foundation too.

We've got a diagonal crack from a basement window corner in our Bentleyville home. Is it serious?

Window corners are weak spots, so cracks often start there. A thin crack that isn't growing may only need sealing. If it's widening or one side has shifted, the wall needs support as well.

I'm worried our Bentleyville house is sliding downhill. Could that happen?

Whole houses rarely slide, but soil on a slope can creep and move a footing or wall a little at a time. We'll look for signs of that movement and explain what the repair would involve.

Can bowing walls in a Bentleyville basement be fixed without digging up the yard?

In most cases, yes. Carbon-fiber straps and Richtech braces both go in from inside the basement. That keeps landscaping, patios and wooded slopes outside undisturbed.

Our Bentleyville driveway slab has sunk near the garage. Is that a foundation issue?

Often it's the fill under the driveway settling, which is separate from the house. If the garage wall or footing has moved too, that is a foundation issue. We'll tell you which you have.

My Bentleyville basement has finished walls. How will you know if there's movement behind them?

We check for cracked drywall, gaps at trim, sloping floors and doors that stick. Sometimes a small opening is needed to see the wall itself. We'll tell you before cutting anything.

How long will foundation work take at our Bentleyville place?

Most wall bracing and injection jobs take one to a few days. Pier work depends on how many are needed. You'll have the schedule in writing before we start.

I'm selling our Bentleyville home. Does your foundation warranty go to the buyer?

Yes. The lifetime warranty is written and transfers with the house. A buyer's inspector will see the repair documented in writing, which usually helps the sale go smoothly.
