Bowing block walls, cracked poured basements and garages settling away from the house. We stabilize Mantua Corners foundations from inside with a free inspection and a written lifetime warranty.
Homes around Mantua Corners sit along State Routes 44 and 82 and the roads that branch off them. Many have concrete block or poured basements, and plenty have an attached garage or a later addition on a separate footing. Block walls carry heavy loads well but give way to steady side pressure. Poured walls crack as they age and as the soil around them moves.
The soil under Mantua Township is mostly heavy glacial clay. It swells when it soaks up spring rain and snowmelt, and it shrinks in a dry summer. Near the highways, ditches and pavement can pour extra water into the soil beside some homes, so one wall may take far more pressure than the others. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks in block are common results.
Attached garages usually sit on shallow footings, and the ground under a garage slab can settle or wash out over the years. The same goes for additions, porches and breezeways. Watch for a crack where the garage meets the house, a slab that tilts toward the door, a gap along the siding or interior doors that start to stick. Small signs now can save work later.
A free inspection comes first. We measure bowing, map cracks and check floor levels. Walls with early movement get carbon-fiber straps bonded to the concrete. Walls that have moved further get the Richtech Stabilizer System, steel braces anchored to the floor and framing that can be tightened over time to draw the wall back toward plumb.
Settling garages, additions and corners get steel push piers driven to firm soil to carry the load. Cracks in poured walls are sealed with epoxy or polyurethane injection. Since extra runoff often drives the damage near busy roads, we also look at grading, gutters and ditches around your lot. The plan is in writing.
Every Mantua Corners 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.
Usually, yes. Garages sit on shallower footings and settle on their own. Steel push piers can support the garage on firm soil and stop the gap from growing.
That wall probably faces wetter soil, from a ditch, a low spot or a downspout. Wet clay pushes harder. We'll brace that wall and help you deal with the water behind it.
Diagonal cracks from corners can signal settling. Some stay small and just leak. We'll check whether it's moving and seal it with injection, adding support if the wall needs it.
They can bring it back toward plumb over time. The braces anchor to the floor and framing and get tightened in steps. The results hold up better when water outside is controlled too.
Get it inspected. We'll check the crack for free and give you a written assessment and plan. If a repair is needed, the lifetime warranty transfers with the house later.
Mark crack ends with a pencil and a date, then check again in a few weeks. Growing cracks or doors that keep sticking suggest movement. We can measure it during a free inspection.
It may be. Breezeways often sit on light footings that settle between two heavier structures. We'll check the supports and tell you whether push piers or another fix makes sense.
Very little. Straps, braces and injection are all done from inside. Push piers need small holes at the footing, which we fill and tidy each day.
It can. Saturated clay swells and pushes on the walls, and frost in late winter adds more. Keeping water away from the foundation reduces that pressure.
