How we repair foundations
Most foundation problems start as water problems: gutters dumping at the wall, ground pitched toward the house, or a driveway or patio draining the wrong way. We look at the ground around the house as closely as the crack you called about.
For exterior waterproofing we dig down along the wall, clean it, seal it, and hang a dimple drainage membrane. A perforated drain goes in at the footing in washed stone and runs to daylight, then we backfill and regrade so water moves away from the house. Cracks get cut back, cleaned, and filled, and failed block or brick is rebuilt and re-pointed.
Underpinning, piering, and anything structural belong to a structural engineer. If that's what your house needs, we'll tell you.
What does foundation repair cost?
The crack you can see is rarely the whole job. What moves the price:
- Length of wall that needs digging out and waterproofing
- Depth of the footing and how easy the wall is to reach
- Block, brick, or poured foundation
- Patios, steps, or plantings that have to come out and go back
- Where the footing drain can discharge
- Regrading and downspout work
Every job is priced after we see it. The estimate is free, and we walk you through the options before you commit to anything.

Foundation Repair & Waterproofing: common questions
How do I know if a foundation crack is serious?
Fine vertical cracks in a poured wall are common and often cosmetic. Horizontal cracks, stair-step cracks through block joints, and cracks wide enough to fit a coin are worth having looked at now. So is any crack that's grown since you first noticed it.
Do you do structural foundation work?
We do crack repair, waterproofing, drainage, and rebuilding damaged block and brick. Underpinning and piering are structural engineering, and we'll tell you if that's what you need.
Will you tell me if the repair can wait?
Yes. If a crack is stable and cosmetic, we'll say so and tell you what to watch for.
Why fix drainage as part of a foundation repair?
Because if the water keeps coming, the repair fails again. Regrading and getting downspouts away from the wall are often the cheapest part of the job and the part that makes the rest last.
