Six kinds of work, one diagnosis process. Whatever your house is doing, it starts with a free on-site inspection and an honest answer about whether it needs repair at all.
When one corner of the house drops, the fix is to carry the load past the soil that moved. Steel push piers and helical piers are driven down to stable, load-bearing strata, then the structure is stabilized — and, where the house allows it, lifted back toward level.
Not every crack is structural, but every crack is a route for water. Hairline and shrinkage cracks get epoxy or polyurethane injection; cracks that are actively moving get carbon fiber reinforcement so they stay closed.
Horizontal cracking and inward bow mean the soil outside is pushing harder than the wall can resist. Depending on how far the wall has moved, we stabilize with carbon fiber straps, wall anchors or steel I-beams.
A dry basement is a drainage problem before it is a sealing problem. We correct grading and downspout discharge first, then add interior drain tile, a properly sized sump system and a battery backup where the water table warrants it.
Sagging girders, rotting posts, standing water and humid summer air all belong to the same problem. We replace failed supports with adjustable steel, then seal the space with a heavy liner so the ground stops feeding moisture into the house.
Sunken driveways, garage floors, sidewalks, patios and front steps are lifted back into place with injected polyurethane foam — usually in a single visit, with nothing to tear out and replace.

On most houses we look at, the structural symptom has a water cause sitting behind it. Downspouts dumping against the wall, a negative grade, a failed sump — all of them keep the soil saturated, and saturated clay is what moves. Fixing the drainage first is usually cheaper, and it stops the repair you paid for from being re-tested every spring.
That is what the inspection decides. Settlement that has dropped one part of the house calls for piering. A wall pushing inward calls for stabilization. Water in the basement calls for drainage before anything else. Many houses need a combination, and the order matters — drainage usually comes first, because taking the water load off the soil is what keeps the structural repair from being tested again.
Sometimes, partly. Push and helical piers always stabilize; whether they can also recover elevation depends on how the structure has settled and what the finishes above will tolerate. We tell you before the work what is realistic, rather than promising a lift that risks cracking everything upstairs.
For the right wall, yes — and it stays flush, so you keep the room. Carbon fiber suits walls with limited inward movement. Once a wall has moved further, or is also shearing along a course, anchors or beams that can apply corrective force are the better call.
Yes, the work our repairs require — interior trenching for drain tile, exterior digging for anchors or piers, and restoring the slab and grade afterward. We do not do full foundation replacements or new construction.
