Foundation Repair in Richmond Heights, OH

Only the uphill wall of our Richmond Heights basement is cracking. Why just that wall?

On a sloped lot the uphill wall holds back more soil and water, so it takes the most pressure. It is usually the first to crack or bow. We brace it from inside and can suggest drainage changes to lower the load.

Our Richmond Heights deck and back corner seem to be sinking. Can't you lift them?

Steel push piers can support a settling corner or footing on firmer soil and can often lift it back toward level. Deck footings are separate, so we check both and tell you what each needs.

I'm seeing stair-step cracks in our Richmond Heights block basement. Are they getting worse?

Stair-step cracks show soil pressure separating the mortar joints. If they widen or the wall bows, the wall is still moving. We measure them and recommend straps or bracing to stop further movement.

We bought a Richmond Heights condo and the inspector mentioned foundation movement. What happens next?

Start with a free inspection so you know what is happening and how far the wall has moved. In a condo, the association may also be responsible for the foundation, so we can give you a written report to share with them.

Our Richmond Heights floors slope toward the back of the house. Is it settling?

It may be settlement on the downhill side, or a sagging beam or failing post in the basement. We check the footings, walls and supports, then explain what is causing the slope and how to correct it.

Can a leaning Richmond Heights wall be straightened, or does it have to be rebuilt?

Many leaning walls can be braced and gradually straightened with the Richtech Stabilizer System from inside the basement. Rebuilding is only needed when a wall has failed badly. We measure it and tell you which applies.

It's a poured wall in our Richmond Heights home, and the crack is getting wider. What's the fix?

A widening crack means the wall or footing is still moving. We find out whether soil pressure or settlement is the cause, stabilize it with bracing or piers, then seal the crack with injection.

Will foundation work in Richmond Heights damage our sloped yard?

Wall bracing and straps install from inside the basement, so your yard stays untouched. Push piers need a small access area at the footing, and we restore it as closely as we can.
