Foundation Repair for Erie, PA

Your foundation is literally the beginning of your home. Ensure that your family is safe by repairing your foundation when you see any signs of an issue. Cracked mortar is the most common sign of brick and concrete block foundation damage. The integrity of your foundation is compromised if the mortar has deteriorated and/or is damaged. 

When you schedule an appointment with us, we'll assess the area and create a plan of action. Often, your floor will need to be leveled, if it's caving in certain areas. We will ensure that your flooring is completely level by using a leveling compound. After, we'll lay down whatever type of basement flooring you desire. 

There are some telltale signs that you need foundation repair. Listed below are many common indicators. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to give us a call. We are proud to be a trusted source of foundation repair in the Erie, PA area!

How to Tell that You Need Foundation Repair

The Erie, PA area experiences difficult and snowy winter weather, which wreaks havoc on foundations. There are many signals that can indicate that it might be time for foundation repair. Knowing what to look for can save you from costly repairs and severe structural damage. If you notice any of the following signs and you believe you need foundation repair service, contact our team. We will send someone to take a look and make a more informed assessment.
  • Sticking Doors: If your doors and windows are not opening or shutting properly, your foundation may be settling too dramatically. We can take a closer look to address any concerns.
  • Interior Cracks: Cracks in any interior walls in your home might not immediately be cause for alarm. Homes settle over the years and plaster can crack. However, if you are noticing excessive cracks that are growing, it's important to call a contractor right away.
  • Gaps: Take note of any gaps between crown molding and the ceiling. It could simply mean that your home has settled, but it could also be a sign of something more serious.
  • Bowing Basement Walls: Soil expansion into a weakening foundation can cause the walls of your basement to begin bowing in. If you notice this happening, you most likely need foundation repair as soon as possible. 
These are only some of the signs that it is time for foundation repair for your Erie, PA home. Reach out to our team to learn more about how we can help with foundation repair!
