"Great! The inspector who came for the free estimate was very friendly, polite and knowledgeable. He was the first of three I got. The project was the same for all estimates... the entire basement perimeter with a waterproofing system and a sump pump system. He didn't try to "sell" me MANY other unnecessary products like one of the companies. He explained what and why everything was for. He followed up a day later and I called back to schedule the work a week later after my last estimate. His was $4900, another was $5500 and one company was $8200! The crew arrived at 8:30am on a Friday morning and worked hard all day. They sent "extra guys" to finish in one day, I really liked that part. The guys worked hard and cleaned up great. I asked them about hauling away a few extra things of mine and they did. The crew manager walked through everything with me at the end and made sure I was happy, Job very well done All-Star Basements, I would highly recommend this company!"

"We were impressed with the owner who was the one that did the consultation. We were also impressed with the cost of the entire job.  I was super impressed with his attention to detail as well.  The edging has a lot of curve and they put in 6inch pavers to take care of the curves. There were no cracks and it was cut just perfectly. He kept checking in with me to make sure I was satisfied with the progress. The work results were unbelievable."

"Salesperson was very professional. Took the time to go through all of my options and educate me on the pros and cons of each. The company has a terrific patented product that I believe is the best option for fixing a foundation and keeping your basement dry. The workmen were all clean, courteous and professional. The head of the crew also took the time to walk me through all the steps of the project. The finished product is amazing. My basement is dry and much less musty smelling (the smell gets better every day). GO WITH EVERDRY. They are fantastic overall - attitude, quality of work, customer satisfaction."

Foundation Repair questions, answered by experts

Generally, foundation cracks and repair are not covered by standard homeowners insurance policies. This type of damage is often considered normal wear and tear or a result of poor maintenance, which is the homeowner's responsibility. For example, damage caused by settling, shifting soil, or drainage issues is typically excluded.

However, there are exceptions. Coverage may apply if the foundation damage is a direct result of a covered peril, such as a house fire, a burst pipe, vandalism, or a vehicle accident. Coverage for natural disasters like earthquakes and floods often requires a separate, specific policy or add-on.

The best foundation repair method will depend on the issue you’re having, but usually, foundation instability is best fixed using supportive piers, like steel piers or helical piers. A professional foundation repair contractor or structural engineer should always decide what the best course of action is, and even then, it’s imperative that you also take measures to treat the underlying issue as well, like soil erosion or oversaturation from runoff.

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.

Periodic inspections and addressing drainage issues prevent further damage.

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.
