Foundation & Basement Repairs
for Erie, PA

As a northeastern city, located along a lake, it's safe to say that the Erie, PA area experiences the best of both worlds, climate-wise. The summers are hot and dry, and the winters are filled with snowy days. When the weather hits hard, home damage may occur. Your chimney may break down due to hurricane-like weather, or your basement may flood due to heavy rainfall. Even though homeowners in Erie, PA can invest in both indoor and outdoor remodeling projects, they need maintenance and upkeep.

If you're in the Erie, PA area, and you need a reliable repair company to call, choose Andy Yosten Masonry. Our talented masonry contractors can provide custom stone work for patios, pools, chimneys, and more. Since we've worked in the Erie, PA area for many years, we've become one of the best companies to call for stone work. If a storm or other conditions have damaged or depleted the foundation of your home, we also provide foundation repairs to ensure your home will have a longer life. Plus, through our basement waterproofing and French drain installation, we can make sure the heavy Erie rainfalls do not damage your basement.

Signs Your Home Needs Foundation Repair

  • Poor Water Drainage: Water is by far the leading cause of foundation problems, and if you’ve noticed that your home has water drainage problems, it’s a sign you need to repair the foundation. Water and dampness are also signs that you should consider basement waterproofing and French drain installation services.
  • Bowing Walls: If your foundation walls bow any more than three inches, you’ll need to have professionals install wall anchors to stabilize and straighten them. Our foundation repairs will ensure your walls will not bow any longer and will strengthen the root of the problem.
  • Cracks in Drywall: There are so many reasons why you may find cracks in your drywall, like moisture in high humidity climates. Apart from humidity, water damage from the roof can also cause cracks in the drywall. If these two are not the problem, the cracks in the wall are probably due to foundation problems. Foundation repairs will ensure that there are no more cracks in your drywall.
  • Doors Sticking or Gaps: Foundation problems tend to make doors on the property get stuck or just not function properly. If you notice that your doors have gaps at the top, it’s usually because the foundation has settled, and you need to level it to solve the issue.

Rely on Us for Basement Repairs, Chimney Work, Basement Waterproofing, and More! 

In addition to our decorative stone work like concrete patios and pool foundations, we also provide structural repairs for houses, like foundation and basement repair. Because we see a ton of snow in the Erie, PA area during the winter time, it can cause excessive flooding come spring. Often, customers call us for wet basement repairs to fix structural issues, remove debris, and make their basements functional once again. Basement waterproofing and French drain installation today, could save you from stress and expensive repairs in the future.
 
Basement repair and waterproofing starts from the top down, beginning at the roof. We need to make sure that the roof's gutter system is properly redirecting water runoff. If the gutter system is faulty, rainwater during a downpour can saturate the area around the foundation. Next, we'll tackle ground-level complications. Normally, the soil around your home should slope away from the foundation. If this isn't the case, you may need to install a French drain system to divert water away from the foundation. We also tackle below-grade problems and repair damage done to basement walls and floors.
