Lexington Foundation Repair

There are a lot of things that can cause basement walls to crack. One of the more common ones is pressure from groundwater surrounding the foundation. Over time, this pressure can wear down even the sturdiest basement wall and cause cracks, into which the water will happily flow. Other culprits may be tree roots, soil movement that causes the foundation to shift, shoddy building materials, and general wear and tear.

In many cases, cracked or buckled basement walls can indeed be fixed. The smallest cracks can be filled and patched, while larger cracks may require foundation excavation (digging out around the exterior of the foundation) and installation of steel beams to straighten and reinforce the wall itself. In the most extreme cases, the wall may need to be demolished and rebuilt. No matter what, we can provide the right solution to ensure your basement is strong and sound once again.

Depending on the extent of the issue, a foundation repair expert may need access to both the interior and exterior of your basement walls in order to perform the right fix. Excavation means removing the dirt around the exterior of the foundation in order to perform repairs on cracks, buckled walls, large holes, etc. Excavation is no small project, so it is absolutely crucial that you hire an expert who can ensure your foundation stays sound throughout the entire process.

Foundation problems do not fix themselves and often get worse over time. The solutions also get more serious and expensive the longer you allow a foundation problem to linger. Even a small basement crack can let in water, which will wear away at your foundation wall and can even cause hazardous mold and mildew growth. While it’s definitely not the most fun home maintenance project, as soon as you notice signs of basement moisture, call in a pro. You won’t regret it.

If your basement has flooded to the point where there is several inches of water on the ground, your first step is to turn off power to the basement and evacuate yourself and anyone else from that space immediately.
