Foundation Repair

What makes a foundation move

Soil that swells when it's wet and shrinks when it's dry, water that isn't drained away, and support that has washed out or settled all let parts of a foundation shift. The cracks and sticking doors you notice upstairs are usually symptoms of that movement happening below.

Because water in the soil is so often the driver, a lasting repair usually means stabilizing the structure and getting that water under control at the same time.

How DryWorx approaches foundation repair

Every job starts with a free inspection to find the cause — not just the crack. From there we stabilize the structure and protect it from the water that often started the problem:

• Stabilizing walls that have settled or started to bow
• Keeping soil water away with interior waterproofing and exterior treatment
• Rebuilding damaged structural wood — see structural repair
• Work for businesses through commercial foundation repair

Why it pays to look now

Foundation movement rarely reverses on its own, and small cracks tend to widen over time. An inspection tells you whether what you're seeing is stable or still moving — and you get a written plan before any work begins.
