Leaning block walls, cracks in poured concrete and settling porches show up across Edinburg Township. We measure the movement, write up a plan and stabilize it with straps, braces or piers.
Edinburg has homes from nearly every era of its two-century history. Early farmhouses may sit on laid stone or rough block, mid-century houses usually have concrete block basements, and newer homes often have poured walls. Stone loses mortar and shifts, block bows inward along a horizontal joint, and poured concrete cracks from top to bottom. Knowing which you have is the first step to the right repair.
The township's farm soils are productive, but the glacial till under them carries a lot of clay. Clay holds water after rain and swells, then shrinks and cracks open in a dry summer. Near Barrel Run, Bixon Creek and Silver Creek the ground can stay damp longer. That constant change in volume presses on foundation walls and can pull support away from footings.
Winters here freeze the ground deep. Saturated soil beside a wall expands as it freezes, adding force to walls that are already under pressure. Porches, steps, garages and additions with shallow footings can heave in winter and drop in spring. After enough seasons, you notice gaps at the siding, cracked concrete and doors that no longer close the way they used to.
We start by measuring. The free inspection records how much each wall has bowed, where cracks run and whether any corner has dropped. Then we write a plan. Carbon-fiber straps are bonded to walls with early bowing. For walls that have moved more, the Richtech Stabilizer System uses steel braces anchored to the floor and framing, and they can be tightened to draw the wall back toward plumb.
Where a section has settled, steel push piers are driven to firm soil and take the load, and they can raise that corner toward level. Cracks in poured walls get epoxy or polyurethane injection. Before we leave, we look at gutters, downspouts and grading, since clay that stays drier puts less stress on the repair.
Every Edinburg repair is sized to what the inspection finds, and each part of it carries our transferable lifetime warranty.

Positive experience from start to finish. Scheduled the estimate within days and got us right on the calendar for the repair. Ken was great to work with and answered my numerous questions with patience. The crew arrived on time.
Brian was the lead on the job, him and his crew were absolutely astounding. They worked extremely hard and I commend them for their professionalism and their knowledge.
I had an absolute exceptional experience. They come in and do exactly what they say they were going to do, they were neat and cleaned up behind themselves. Any questions that I had, they answered.
Walls that lean at the top are often pushed by soil and frost. Carbon-fiber straps hold walls with modest movement. The Richtech Stabilizer System braces walls that have moved more and can bring them back toward plumb over time.
Often, yes. Porches usually rest on shallow footings that frost and wet clay move easily. Steel push piers can carry the porch on firm soil and sometimes lift it back toward level. We'll check it during a free inspection.
Clay soil swells and shrinks every year, and frost adds force each winter. Those small movements add up over time. A wall that held for decades can start cracking once the pressure finally exceeds what it can resist.
Many stone foundations can be stabilized. It depends on how much mortar has washed out and whether stones have shifted. We'll inspect it and give you a written plan that fits how that wall was built.
Yes. Sticking windows and doors can point to foundation movement twisting the frame. Seasonal humidity can do it too. We'll look at the walls and floor to tell you which it is.
Yes. Our repairs come with a written lifetime warranty that transfers to the next owner if you sell. You'll get the warranty terms in writing along with the plan.
It's smart to check. Cracks, bowing or moisture should be fixed before framing goes up, so you don't hide a problem behind drywall. We'll inspect the walls and tell you what, if anything, is needed.
Yes. A crack that leaks when the ground is saturated will keep doing it every year. Epoxy or polyurethane injection seals it through the wall. If it is also shifting, we'll add support.
Often it can. Steel push piers are driven to firm soil, then the load is transferred onto them. That can raise the corner toward level. How far depends on the house, and we'll explain before starting.
