    Drainage

    French drains and grading that keep water off the slab.

  • A stone retaining wall holding back a garden slope

    Retaining walls

    For sloped lots where the yard is moving too.

    Concrete work

    Driveways, walks and patios that cracked with the house.

Questions we get

What does foundation repair cost?

It depends on how many piers your house needs. You get a written price at the inspection, and it doesn’t change once we start.

Does homeowners insurance pay for it?

Usually not for settling soil. It sometimes does when a plumbing leak caused it, so we check for leaks first.

Do we have to move out?

No. You stay home. We work outside and under the house.

How long does it take?

The written price lists the days. We start when we say we will.

Call us before you patch the crack.

We would rather see it first.
