Water and/or Moisture Damage Repair

ater is the most common cause of foundation repair problems. Having too much or too little in the soil immediately surrounding and underneath your foundation can cause expansion and/or shrinking. When this happens unevenly, your foundation is subjected to stresses it wasn't designed to handle.

There are many ways to prevent and/or repair damaged foundation. The following is a brief and general review of the most common residential foundation repair problems.
