"I had a 4 foot crack under a window well, 5 foot under another window well, and 7 foot total wall crack. All were actively leaking water into my basement - like fountains. Called Atlas and 2 other companies, and they responded first arranging Kaz to come out the next morning. I still hadn't heard from the other companies by the time he came. He evaluated the cracks, explained the injection procedure, quoted the price, and set up the appointment. The only negative thing was that the appointment was 3 weeks away and the cracks were significantly leaking. Because we had so much rain, I called again to try to get moved up, and they accommodated me on a Saturday for a $200 premium. Nestor fixed the cracks and the leaking stopped. He was polite, prompt, and answered all my questions. However, with the next rain, small wet areas were seen (nowhere near as bad as they were). I called back, appointment was made, and Nestor came back to fix them again under the lifetime warranty. Same great service with the call back, and no problems noted since! Would recommend, and also say that if you have small leaking, get it fixed, because you never know when it will get worse!"

"Due to excessive groundwater, we had an active leak in our basement. ULB came and gave us a reasonable quote, and was able to do the job during a very busy time of the year. They replaced the old interior drain tile system (which had been done by a previous owner on the cheap), which is a massive job, and even stayed late the first day to make sure they could get all the work done in the two-day time frame they'd given us at the outset. They also installed a new sump pump and backup system which is much quieter than our old one. The system is humming along smoothly now, and the basement is (finally) dry. This is a very dirty job and the crew was able to keep the mess and disturbance to a minimum. The team was friendly and easy to work with, and very patient in explaining all of the work they were doing. They even pointed out some other foundation cracks I hadn't seen, and fixed them while they were there at a heavily discounted price."

"Called company on Monday and got an appointment for an inspection on Wednesday. That following Monday, the technician arrived and went through each step is sealing off the concrete foundation to the water leak. The fix worked well and was put to the test with the recent record rains. Not one drop of water came into the basement."

"Everseal did a great job and cleaned up as best as possible after having 14 cracks fixed. It was a little hard initially to get the appointment scheduled but after that everything was ok. Probable because pretty busy lots of water so far this season. No leaks yet however only be a day."

"The worker who came over saw my situation and unoffically suggested a repair that would be cheap for me rather than have him and his crew come out and charge me a few thousand. I appreciated that he wanted what was best for me and not necessarily best for his company."

"Jim was our representative. He kept us aware of his schedule and his arrival time. He was courteous and professional. We showed the concerns we had to him and he asked if he could look around so he could check all foundation walls. He did, and was wonderful walking us through what was needed to be done and what was not an issue as well as gettiing us on the calendar that best fit our calendar to fix that which was a concern. We would highly recommend this company and Jim to care for your foundation, basement, and crawlspace."

"There was water coming into our basement from a crack in the wall. Alex sent Eddie to do the repair. He was prompt, professional and did outstanding work. Also, he did a thorough cleanup. We would definitely call them again with any water problems in our basement."

Foundation Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is normal for a block foundation to crack. Some block foundation cracks are more serious than others and indicative of a larger structural problem. On the other hand, minor cracks may not be of immediate concern but should be monitored. Regardless, foundational cracks are not an uncommon response to wear on a structure from time and weather.

Yes, slab foundations can sink just like any other foundation type. Floating slabs are the most prone to differential settlement and foundation sinking because they sit directly on the surface of the earth. Slab foundations that have footings—including slab-on-grade foundations and monolithic slab foundations—get additional support from soil further down and are less likely to sink over time, especially under larger, heavier structures.

The average home foundation lasts between 80 and 100 years, but some can last much longer with proper maintenance and routine inspections. The lifespan depends on the foundation type, soil conditions, climate, and construction quality. Poured concrete walls can last up to 200 years, brick or stone foundations over 100 years, cement block foundations 80 to 100 years, and pier foundations about 75 years. Factors that can shorten a foundation's life include expansive clay soil, poor weather conditions, low-quality building materials, improper construction, and tree roots. Signs of damage include sloping floors, bowing walls, cracks, and doors or windows that stick.

You can strengthen a weak foundation using a few different foundation repair methods, including underpinning, slab jacking, foam jacking, installing carbon fiber support strips, or using a sealant or epoxy crack injection. It’s worth noting that the best way to strengthen your foundation permanently is to fix the underlying issue first and then use a permanent solution to reinforce it. If you’re unsure who to call for foundation repairs, a foundation repair contractor or structural engineer can help find the best solution for your home.

You can use epoxy-based concrete fillers to repair small cracks and dents in the floor. For larger damages, remove any debris, then patch the cracks or holes with concrete repair products or resurface the entire floor. We recommend using fast-curing products that cure in four hours. You can also buy a pre-mixed concrete patch and leveler if you are only repairing parts of your floor.
