The Foundation of A House Is All The Value

Buyers inspecting a house typically go straight to the foundation. If there are cracks in the foundation, they're likely not interested in buying.

The foundation of your home is even more important than your roof. If there are cracks or leaks then it's only a matter of time before the whole home is affected. Water will continue to seep in and cause damage while increasing the size of the crack or leak.

The best thing to do is to inspect your home's foundation for any evidence of cracks or leaks. Paying attention to the weather, inspect your foundation after a big rain for various signs of water moving on the floor of your basement.

  • Visible damage or cracks to concrete
  • Presence of water
  • Moldy smell
  • Floorboard damage
  • Water stains


Identifying Basement Cracks or Leaks, Early On

Like most issues identifying them fast can save you from having to deal with a bigger problem. If we are able to patch a crack in the foundation we can save you from having to dig up the foundation and fix a large leak.

This also depends on what is causing the crack or leak in the first place. If there are conditions that seem to be causing a lot of water to pool up on your foundation, then you could have a larger issue.
