Bowing block, settling garages and cracked poured walls. We stabilize Robertsville foundations with carbon-fiber straps, Richtech wall braces and steel push piers, all backed by a lifetime warranty.
Robertsville has been settled since the 1840s, so its foundations come from many eras. The oldest homes may sit on stone laid with soft mortar. Houses from the middle of the last century are mostly concrete block, while newer homes on the outer lots usually have poured walls. Block is the wall type we see move most, because its mortar joints give way under steady side pressure from wet soil.
The ground around Robertsville is rolling and mostly clay. After a long rain, that clay swells and presses on basement walls. In a dry August it shrinks and can pull back from the footing, leaving less support underneath. Year after year that push and pull opens cracks, and on a slope the uphill wall takes the worst of it because it holds back the most soil.
Attached garages, porches and room additions often rest on shallower footings than the house. When a downspout or clogged ditch soaks the ground under one of them, it settles faster than the rest. Signs include a widening gap where the garage meets the house, cracked brick or siding at a corner, windows that stick and a floor that slopes toward one wall.
The free inspection comes first. We check walls for bowing and lean, trace cracks, look for settling at corners and garages and write out the repair with a price. Carbon-fiber straps are bonded to block walls that have started to bow. The Richtech Stabilizer System anchors steel braces to the floor and the framing above, and they can be tightened to move a wall back toward plumb.
Steel push piers are driven through soft clay to firm ground to carry a sinking garage, corner or addition, and they can lift it toward level. Cracks in poured walls get epoxy or polyurethane injection. Before we finish, we'll point out any drainage problems near the foundation, since a drier footing keeps the repair working longer.
Every Robertsville repair is sized to what the inspection finds, and each part of it carries our transferable lifetime warranty.

Exceptional basement waterproofing, highly recommend. I had an outstanding experience with All American Basement for my basement.
We had our cellar door stairs waterproofed, a drain in the basement and downlines for our gutters installed. The crew was great to work with.
Mike and Ken and the other workers, what can I say? They have gone above and beyond for us. This has been a very challenging job, and Mike the owner has been back several times to make it right.
Steel push piers can support the garage footing and often lift it toward level, which can close some of the gap. We'll measure the movement and explain what to expect in writing.
A horizontal crack in block usually means soil pressure is pushing the wall in. It's worth checking before it moves more. Carbon-fiber straps or the Richtech Stabilizer System can hold it.
Yes. Clay shrinks as it dries and can pull away from the footing, leaving it with less support. Then it swells again in fall rains. That cycle is a common cause of cracks and settling.
It's a good idea. Foundation movement can twist window and door frames. Humidity can too, so we'll look at both. The inspection is free and you'll get a written answer.
Cracked brick at a corner often points to settling under that part of the foundation. We'll check the footing and the basement wall below it. Push piers can support a sinking corner.
Many repairs take one to two days. Wall braces may be tightened again over time to keep moving the wall back. We'll give you the schedule in writing before work starts.
Most work is inside the basement. Piers need small holes at the footing, which we backfill when done. Your lawn and landscaping are left in good shape, and we clean up daily.
Yes. We'll inspect the crack and give you a written assessment and plan. If it needs work and we do it, you'll have a lifetime warranty that transfers with the house.
A bowing wall usually keeps moving, and bigger movement means a bigger repair. Catching it early often means straps will do. We'll check it for free and tell you how urgent it is.
