Trusted Foundation Repair Services

Strengthening Your Home With
Dry Basement®

When your foundation moves, the whole house feels it. Doors drag, floors dip, cracks widen. We’ve been diagnosing and repairing these issues since 1975, serving Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa with practical inspections and precise fixes. Our team focuses on the cause, not just the symptom, and installs the right repair so it holds up through Midwest seasons. If something feels off underfoot or along your walls, we’ll confirm what’s happening and put a permanent plan in place.

Don’t Ignore Foundation Issues

Foundation problems rarely stay where they start. Seasonal moisture, expansive clay soils, and ongoing load shifts can turn a small crack or a sticky door into wall movement, floor deflection, and costly structural repairs. The longer you wait, the more a foundation can settle or bow, making it harder to correct without invasive work.

Addressing issues early protects your home’s value and safety. It also helps control project scope and cost. A timely inspection lets us diagnose the cause, stabilize movement, and prevent follow-on damage like framing misalignment, plumbing stress, and water intrusion. Fix it now, and you’re choosing a targeted repair over a major reconstruction later.

PROBLEMS Signs You Need Foundation Repair

Foundation problems often start small. These signs mean it’s time to act:

Cracks in walls or ceilings

Thin lines can widen over time, especially near doors, windows, or corners.

Doors and windows that stick

Shifts in the frame indicate movement in the structure or settling.

Uneven or bouncy floors

Sagging joists or settlement can create dips, squeaks, or soft spots.

Bowing or leaning walls

Lateral pressure from saturated soils can push basement walls inward.

Gaps and separations

Spaces at trim, countertops, or exterior brick joints point to movement.

Water along the cove joint

Seepage where the wall meets the floor signals pressure against the foundation.

FAQs About Foundation Repair

How do you decide between piers, anchors, or bracing?

We base the choice on the type of movement (settlement vs. lateral pressure), wall material, soil conditions, and measured deflection. Your inspection includes clear recommendations and why they fit your home.

Will repairs lift my home back to level?

When conditions allow, piers can provide controlled lifting and stabilization. If full lift isn’t advisable, we focus on stabilizing to prevent further movement and protect finishes.

Do foundation repairs damage landscaping?

We plan access carefully and minimize disturbance. Excavation is limited to what’s needed for installation, and we clean up thoroughly when the job is done.

How long do foundation repairs take?

Most projects take one to three days depending on scope, access, and weather. However, more complex issues may take longer to resolve.
