Foundation Repair in Chatham, OH

The stone foundation under our Chatham farmhouse is bulging. Is it too far gone?

Not necessarily. Many stone walls can be repointed, braced or partly rebuilt. We'll check how loose the stones are and how far the wall has moved, then explain the realistic options.

My Chatham block wall has a long crack right along one mortar line. What's happening?

A horizontal crack in block usually means soil is pushing the wall inward. It's a sign to act before bowing gets worse. Carbon-fiber straps or Richtech braces can hold it from inside.

We've got a family room addition in Chatham that's sinking at one end. Can it be lifted?

Often, yes. Steel push piers under the footing reach firm soil and support the load, and they can raise the section toward level. We'll check the footing first and give you a written plan.

Can clay soil in Chatham Township crack a newer poured foundation?

Yes. Clay swells and shrinks with the seasons, and even newer poured walls can crack as it moves. Most cracks can be sealed with injection, and we'll check whether there's ongoing movement.

I'm seeing sloped floors near the kitchen in my Chatham home. Where should I start?

Start with a foundation check. Sloping floors can come from a settling footing or from sagging framing. We'll look at both and tell you which is causing it before suggesting any repair.

Is foundation repair in Chatham done from inside the basement?

Mostly. Straps, Richtech braces and crack injection are installed inside. Push piers need small access holes at the footing, which we backfill afterward and leave neat.

Our Chatham chimney has pulled away from the siding. Should we be worried?

It's worth a prompt look. Chimneys often sit on their own footing and can settle or lean. We'll inspect it and explain whether piers or other repairs are needed.

We're thinking of selling our Chatham place. Does a foundation warranty help?

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and transfers to the buyer. It shows the foundation was repaired properly, which can make the sale go more smoothly.

Will gutters and grading help protect a Chatham foundation?

Yes. Water off the roof and a yard sloping toward the house soak the clay next to the walls. Fixing both reduces the pressure on the foundation and helps any repair last.
