FAQs

Foundation Repair FAQ — Dekalb, IL

Horizontal cracks in basement walls are always serious — they indicate soil pressure and potential wall failure. Stair-step cracks in block or brick foundations indicate settlement and need evaluation. Vertical cracks under 1/4" wide that don't grow are usually shrinkage cracks — monitor them with crack monitors for 6–12 months. Any crack that's widening, has water intrusion, or is wider than 1/4" needs professional evaluation.

Foundation diagnosis is genuinely difficult and subject to overselling. Independent structural engineers (not affiliated with repair companies) provide the most objective assessments for $300–$600. A licensed structural engineer's report can tell you definitively what's happening and what's required. Get this before accepting any large repair quote.

Not always. Door sticking in summer/fall can be wood expansion from humidity. Foundation settlement causes consistent sticking year-round, and is usually accompanied by other signs: sloping floors, cracks radiating from door corners, gaps between walls and ceiling, or gaps around exterior doors and windows. Have a structural engineer evaluate if you have multiple symptoms together.

Push piers are hydraulic steel pipes driven to load-bearing soil/bedrock — best for stabilizing settled areas. Helical piers are screwed into soil and can be used in tighter spaces. Concrete pilings are poured-in-place — common in warmer climates with expansive clay soils. The right method depends on soil conditions, load, and access. Any reputable company should perform a soil assessment before recommending.

A repaired and warranted foundation is far better for resale than an unaddressed one. Foundation issues that are disclosed but unrepaired significantly reduce buyer offers and can kill sales. A transferable lifetime warranty from a reputable foundation company is a selling point. The repair itself rarely adds dollar-for-dollar value, but it removes a major obstacle to sale.

Pier installation for a typical 3–5 pier job: 1–2 days of work. Interior waterproofing system: 1–3 days. Carbon fiber crack reinforcement: a few hours. Most foundation repairs are completed in 1–3 days. Excavation-based exterior waterproofing is more disruptive — 3–7 days. Make sure the company clearly specifies what post-repair grading, backfill, and cleanup is included.
