In Uniontown we have straightened bowing walls, lifted settling foundations and sealed cracks since 1985, and every job comes with a free estimate and a transferable lifetime warranty.
Uniontown sits on the heavy glacial clay that covers northern Stark County, and that clay drains slowly. When spring rain and snowmelt arrive, the water pools around your footings and pushes inward as hydrostatic pressure, hunting for any weak spot in cove joints, old tie-rod holes, and mortar lines. Season after season that steady pressure works on block foundation walls, and the first sign is often a thin stair-step crack climbing the mortar joints.
The same clay swells when it soaks up moisture and shrinks tight as it dries through a Uniontown summer, so your walls get pushed and pulled all year. Add our northeast Ohio freeze-thaw cycles, where soil expands every time it freezes, and block walls answer with a slow inward bow or a lean near the middle. We have seen these walls all over town since 1985, and a bow that looks small today can move a real distance over a few winters.
Foundations here settle too, especially at a corner where downspouts dump water and soften the soil under the footing. As one part of the house drops, the movement travels upstairs, and you start to notice doors that stick, windows that will not close square, and hairline cracks over the door frames. Those clues usually point back to the foundation, and catching them early keeps a simple repair from turning into a much bigger one.
The right fix depends on how far the wall has moved. For walls that are bowing or cracking, carbon-fiber straps and the Richtech Stabilizer System brace the wall and can straighten it back over time, all from inside the basement with no excavation.
When a corner or section of the house has settled, we underpin with steel piers driven down to stable soil to carry the load and lift the foundation back toward level. Cracks are sealed for good with epoxy and polyurethane injection. Every repair 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.
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.
Yes. For most bowing walls in Uniontown we work from inside the basement with carbon-fiber straps or the Richtech Stabilizer System, which brace the wall and can pull it back straight over time. There is no excavation of your yard, and the repair carries our transferable lifetime warranty.
Those stair-step cracks in Uniontown usually come from the clay soil swelling with rain and pressing on the wall, then shrinking as it dries. That movement follows the weakest path, the mortar joints between the blocks. We seal the cracks with epoxy or polyurethane injection and, if the wall is moving, add carbon-fiber straps, all backed by the lifetime warranty.
They can. When a corner in Uniontown settles because the soil under the footing gave way, we drive steel piers down to stable soil and use them to lift and hold that section of the foundation. It stops the sinking and often closes the cracks it caused, and the work is covered by our transferable lifetime warranty.
Sticking doors and windows in a Uniontown home are often a sign the foundation below has shifted or settled, which racks the frames out of square. We inspect the basement for the real cause, then stabilize the walls or lift the settled area with steel piers so the openings sit level again. Every fix comes with our lifetime warranty.
A horizontal crack in a Uniontown basement wall is more serious than a vertical one, because it usually means soil pressure is bending the wall inward. Do not wait on it. We can brace the wall from inside with carbon-fiber straps or the Richtech Stabilizer System and back the repair with our transferable lifetime warranty.
