Foundation Repair in Glenwillow, OH

The porch on our old Glenwillow company house is leaning. Can it be saved?

Often, yes. Porches on older homes usually sit on shallow footings and settle over time. Steel push piers can support them on firmer soil. We'll inspect it and give you a written plan.

My Glenwillow basement wall has a vertical crack that's getting wider. Should I call someone?

Yes. A crack that's growing means something is still moving. We'll check the wall for bowing and settling. Injection seals the crack, and straps or braces are added if the wall needs support.

We've got a newer Glenwillow home with a sloping garage floor. Is the foundation moving?

Garage slabs often sit on backfill that settles over the first years. That alone can cause a slope or crack. We'll check whether the foundation walls are moving too and explain the options.

Can wet ground near Tinkers Creek make a Glenwillow foundation settle?

It can. Soil that stays wet is softer and supports less weight. Over time a corner or section may sink. Steel push piers reach past that soft layer to firmer soil below.

Does the old stone foundation in my Glenwillow house need to be replaced?

Usually not. Most old stone walls can be repointed and braced where needed. We'll check how much the wall has moved and whether the mortar still holds it together.

I'm seeing cracks in the drywall upstairs in our Glenwillow home. Is it the foundation?

It can be. Settling moves the frame, and drywall cracks at corners of doors and windows. Normal seasonal movement can do it too. We'll check the basement to find the cause.

How do carbon-fiber straps work on a Glenwillow basement wall?

The straps are bonded to the wall with epoxy and anchored at the top and bottom. They stop the wall from bowing further. They're thin and can be painted over if you finish the basement.

Is foundation repair messy for a Glenwillow home with new landscaping?

Most of our work is done inside the basement. Push piers need small access holes at the footing, which we fill back in. We'll tell you ahead of time exactly where we'll need to dig.

Our Glenwillow house is going on the market. Does the foundation warranty transfer?
