Cracks in a poured wall, a porch slab that dropped or a wall starting to lean: we repair Reminderville foundations with straps, braces and push piers, backed by a free inspection and a lifetime warranty.
Most Reminderville homes have poured concrete foundations, which are strong but not immune to movement. Concrete shrinks as it cures, so fine vertical cracks are common in the first years. Those usually aren't a structural concern on their own. The problems start when the soil around the house begins to push, settle or wash out, and a crack that was stable starts to grow.
Clay is the main force. Summit County clay swells as it takes on water and shrinks as it dries, and frost heaves the upper soil each winter. That cycle leans on basement walls year after year. Poured walls tend to show it as horizontal cracks, cracks at corners or a slight lean at the top, especially along walls that stay wet.
Backfill is a second concern in newer neighborhoods. The soil placed around a new foundation is looser than the ground beyond it, and it compacts slowly. Porches, stoops, garage slabs and patios built over that fill can sink. Downspouts that dump water at a corner soften the soil further. Signs include gaps at the steps, sloping garage floors and new cracks in drywall or brick.
We start with a full inspection, measuring any wall movement and checking footings and slabs for settlement. Carbon-fiber straps bonded to poured or block walls hold walls with early bowing. Walls with more movement get the Richtech Stabilizer System, steel braces installed inside the basement that hold the wall and allow gradual straightening. Neither method requires excavating your yard.
For settled footings, steel push piers are driven down to firmer soil and the weight is transferred onto them. Cracks that leak are sealed with epoxy or polyurethane injection. We'll also note grading and downspout issues that keep soil wet, since fixing them helps prevent future movement. Every repair comes with our transferable lifetime warranty in writing.
Every Reminderville repair is sized to what the inspection finds, and each part of it carries our transferable lifetime warranty.

We recently hired All American Basement Waterproofing to address some structural and moisture issues in our basement, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Mike and his team installed carbon fiber straps on one of our basement walls.
Exceptional basement waterproofing, highly recommend. I had an outstanding experience with All American Basement for my basement.
Steps and porches often sit on loose backfill or shallow footings and settle on their own. We'll check whether it's the porch or the house foundation that moved and recommend support if needed.
Horizontal cracks usually mean soil pressure is pushing the wall inward. It's worth having it measured soon. Carbon-fiber straps or the Richtech system can stop the movement.
Garage slabs over settling backfill can crack and drop. We'll inspect the slab and the footing and tell you what support or repair makes sense for that spot.
Concrete shrinks as it cures, which causes small vertical cracks. Soil pressure and settling backfill can cause larger ones. We'll tell you which kind you have.
Carbon-fiber straps work on both poured and block walls with modest bowing. They're bonded to the wall and stop further inward movement with little disruption.
That depends on your builder's terms, so check your paperwork. Either way, we can inspect the crack and give you a written assessment and repair plan.
If the wall is stable, injection with epoxy or polyurethane seals it. If the wall is still moving, it needs to be stabilized first so the seal lasts.
It's a good idea. Sticking doors can come from humidity, but they can also mean settling. We'll check the foundation and let you know what we find.
Yes. Our lifetime warranty is written and transfers to the next owner. Buyers and their inspectors get a clear record of what was repaired and how it's covered.
