"My wife and I recently had some major work done to shore up our foundation and repair our basement walls. The Crossroads crew performed **exceptional** work! Huge thanks to Miguel and Eric. These guys are friendly, professional, and really know their stuff. We were extremely impressed with how hard Eric and Miguel worked, and the quality of the work was amazing. Thanks, guys!! We live in an old house (built in the 1930s I think) and the basement walls were showing their age. We also had some water issues during heavy rains. Crossroads trenched the basement, secured the walls with wall anchors, added a sump pump, and also added helical piers around the outside of the house to support areas of the foundation that were sinking. Miguel and Eric performed some truly Herculean efforts in doing all this work - and they did a damn fine job. We were extremely impressed with their work ethic, and the top-notch quality of their work. In addition, this work was done at a fraction of the cost (literally a fraction) that had been quoted to us by other companies. I highly recommend Crossroads Foundation Repair!"

"Exceptional experience. The sales process was very effective. Jay explained exactly what needed to be done. Todd and crew were on time, friendly, explained what they were going to do, finished the work efficiently, cleaned up very well. Work was done exactly as promised and quickly. Went above and beyond to be sure we were pleased with the project results."

"They measures and quotes a price. I asked when they could start and got no response. A few days later I asked about a change to exposed aggregate. No response after seven days. I'd be fine with having them do the work, but they have to communicate."

"Erie home made waterproofing our crawlspace so easy! We have now endured heavy spring rains and zero water has come in. We can see the sump pump sending water out just like it should! They also added storage space to our house because the encapsulation is so nice and clean! Well worth the money."

Foundation Repair questions, answered by experts

Some foundation repairs are permanent, like underpinning and exterior drainage systems like the French drain. These fixes address the underlying problems—insufficient support from the soil and hydrostatic pressure on your foundation walls, respectively—so they can last for many decades, making them “lifetime fixes.” There are other solutions to address these issues that will last for up to a decade, making them temporary. These include slabjacking to raise concrete slabs back into place and dampproofing to reduce the water in the soil that interacts with the concrete foundation.

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.

In most cases, yes, homeowners insurance will cover burst pipes, even if they run through your foundation. Not only that, but most home insurance companies will also cover any foundation repair you need done that resulted from the plumbing leak because your insurer will view the leak as an unforeseen and non-preventable issue.

Whether you need a permit for foundation repair depends on your location and the scope of the work. Major repairs like foundation stabilization typically require a building permit, while smaller projects such as sealing non-structural cracks or applying waterproofing solutions often do not. It's crucial that your contractor follows all local building codes, as an inspector will review the work to ensure it's up to standard. Failing to obtain the necessary permits can create issues when selling your home and may lead to further damage if the work is not done correctly. Your foundation repair specialist will usually know if a permit is needed and can handle the process for you. You can also contact your local building department or municipal office to confirm the requirements and verify that your contractor has filed the appropriate paperwork.

The best solution to fix a foundation crack in your basement floor depends on the underlying cause. If you just have hairline cracks from settlements that are no longer growing, the best option is to seal them with a crack sealant. If the cracks continue to grow, one edge rises above the other, or there are signs that water is getting in through the crack, a professional repair will be necessary. Depending on the root cause, your professional may employ foundation underpinning or some other type of stabilization, seal the cracks, or install a drainage system.
