Wadsworth is our hometown - our shop sits right at 298 E Walnut St - and we have straightened bowing walls, lifted settling foundations and sealed cracks here since 1985, with a free estimate and a transferable lifetime warranty.
All American isn't just working in Wadsworth, we're from Wadsworth. Our shop has been at 298 E Walnut St for years, and our crews have straightened and stabilized foundation walls in this town since 1985. When we say we know the ground here, we mean it literally - these are the streets we live on.
Like the rest of Medina County, Wadsworth sits on heavy glacial clay that swells when it soaks up spring rain and shrinks as it dries through summer. That push and pull works on your foundation walls season after season, and block walls answer it with stair-step cracks along the mortar joints, a slow inward bow, or a wall that starts to lean.
Our freeze-thaw winters make it worse. Water works into a hairline crack, freezes, expands and pries it a little wider every cold snap. Give it a few seasons and a crack you never noticed becomes a door that sticks upstairs, a gap opening at the top of a wall, or water finding the break.
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.

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.
Yes. For most bowing walls in Wadsworth we work entirely from inside with carbon-fiber straps or the Richtech Stabilizer System, which brace the wall and can pull it back over time. There is no excavation and no tearing up your yard, and it is backed by our transferable lifetime warranty.
Those cracks follow the mortar joints when the clay soil around your foundation swells and shrinks with the seasons and pushes on the wall. In Wadsworth that clay movement is the usual culprit. We seal the cracks and, if the wall has moved, stabilize it so they do not keep opening.
Often, yes. When a corner or section settles we drive steel piers down to stable soil to carry the load, then lift the foundation back toward level. It is a permanent fix for settlement and comes with our transferable lifetime warranty.
It can be. When a foundation settles or a wall moves, the frame of the house shifts just enough to make doors and windows bind. We check whether it ties back to the foundation and fix the cause so the door swings freely again.
Yes, a horizontal crack is more serious than a vertical one because it usually means soil pressure is pushing the wall inward. Our freeze-thaw winters and expanding clay make this common here. We stabilize the wall with carbon-fiber straps or the Richtech Stabilizer System, no yard excavation required.
