Foundation Repair in Drakesburg, OH

The stones in our Drakesburg cellar wall are coming loose. Can that be fixed?

Often, yes. Loose stones and washed-out mortar can be addressed, and controlling water keeps the wall from getting worse. We'll check how much it has moved and tell you honestly what it needs.

My Drakesburg block basement has a crack running along one row. What does that mean?

A horizontal crack in block often means soil pressure is pushing the wall in. It's worth checking soon. Carbon-fiber straps or Richtech braces can stop the movement, depending on how far it has gone.

We have a gap where the mudroom meets our Drakesburg house. Is the addition sinking?

It may be. Additions often sit on shallower footings and settle on their own. Steel push piers can support the addition on firm soil and stop the gap from widening.

Is it worth fixing the foundation on an old Drakesburg farmhouse we've owned for years?

In many cases it is. A stable, dry foundation protects the whole house above it. We'll give you a written plan and price so you can weigh the repair against the home's value to you.

Why does frost seem to damage foundations out around Drakesburg?

Water in the soil freezes and expands against the wall. Open country gets wind and deep frost, and wet clay holds a lot of water. Each winter adds more push to walls that are already stressed.

My Drakesburg doors stick worse every spring. Could the foundation be moving?

It could be. Foundation movement twists the frame above it. Spring humidity can also swell doors, so we check the basement and framing to find which is causing it.

Can push piers be used under an old Drakesburg farmhouse?

Often, yes, depending on the footing. Piers need a solid footing to bracket onto. We'll check what's under your house and explain what support will work.

I've got a bowing wall behind a finished room in my Drakesburg basement. Do we have to tear it out?

Usually only part of it. We need access to the wall to install straps or braces. We'll show you how much has to open up so you can plan the work.

We're planning around harvest. How long will foundation repair take on our Drakesburg home?

Most jobs take one to three days. Larger pier jobs can take longer. You'll get the schedule in writing first, and we clean up at the end of each day.
