"They were good. Matt was our inspector. We needed to get an inspection done on a new home and they came out with little notice and gave us a great breakdown and report. We are looking to hire them for the foundation repairs so I will let you know how the service goes beyond the inspection!"

"Alpha Structural are class acts 100%. Dick came to my house, gave us an honest estimate under what we had expected and got us on the books promptly to begin work. The foreman, Jose, was attentive and polite throughout the work. The stars of the show, Lawrence and Antonio, blew us away with their work. They gave me regular updates and got the job done, start to finish, with utmost professionalism. Little things, like pulling in my garbage cans after collection, just really made their work ethic and politeness stand out. With their stellar reputation and amazing performance, I trust this company with any foundation work I'll hopefully not need in the future! I just wish they provided more services so that I can work with them more."

Foundation Repair questions, answered by experts

Around 25% of homes have foundation problems - it’s a very common issue. Foundation problems can range from very minor to severe and urgent. Call a foundation inspector to determine the severity of any potential issues you identify with your foundation.

It depends on the bank and the extent of the issue. Some banks will lend against homes with minor foundation damage, but most won’t if the issue is structural since the home acts as collateral for the mortgage. Banks that offer renovation loans might still finance a home with structural problems. More minor issues like settling cracks and intermittent problems with humidity are unlikely to stop a bank from financing.

Yes, all basement floors crack in response to the natural settlement of the soil around them and from concrete shrinkage as it cures, and you’ll see hairline cracks as a result. However, you should keep an eye on your basement floor to see if cracks continue to lengthen or widen or show signs of water intrusion. In any of these cases, the problem is likely not settling or shrinkage, and a professional repair is necessary.

Visible cracks, scaling, flaking, and uneven surfaces indicate a bad concrete job. Additional signs vary depending on the project. You may notice poor drainage or even exposed rebar. Quality issues result from using the wrong concrete, rushing the work, or inexperienced workers completing the job.

No, house settling is normal as your home’s foundation settles into the soil below and as the framing of your home shifts as it expands and contracts with changes in temperature and moisture. However, if you get to the point where your doors and windows aren’t opening easily, your floors are uneven, or you can visibly see that your roof line is wavy or uneven, you are more likely to have foundation issues.
