"I am so thankful I called Everdry Waterproofing of Cincinnati! I have a beautiful home that I plan on staying in the rest of my life. My basement had developed a crack in the foundation and allowing water to seep into my finished basement. I did not realize how much water was sitting around my foundation continuing to deteriorate it. I tried having someone patch it, however that was a temporary fix and the problem soon returned. Everydry came in and explained the entire problem to me and showed me how they could save my home. The men that completed the work were extremely pleasant and professional. They guaranteed their work and stand behind it with a 100% warranty. I never have to worry again!"

"This company is top notch. They fixed my sagging floor and it now looks beautiful. My house was built n 1902 and can be a challenge at times to work on. They were professional and did the job in less time then they original thought. I am so very pleased with their work. I would hire them again in a minute for any foundation and floor leveling needs. Thank\ you Acculevel!!!!!"

"Chris & CJ from Stay Dry repaired a leak in our exterior gutter drain system that was originally installed by Stay Dry in 2021. They arrived on time and efficiently & neatly (had to dig to uncover about 12 ft of pipe) repaired the underground leak start to finish in about one hour, being careful not to damage nearby plants & flowers. This 5 star review is for Chris' & CJ's performance only. Cost is unknown as our condo assn would handle costs, if any. Should be zero as this should be warranty work."

"We have a 40 + year old three seasons room that had a lateral crack in the slab and that portion of the room had sunk over an inch. Ron was confident that they would be able to lift that 5 feet x 20 feet section without any damage to the structural portion of the framing. Thatâ s exactly what they did. I was amazed at the detail that they demonstrated. They use real concrete products built to last, not the foam products that are not as proven to last over time. I feel our room has brand new life to it. My wife and I are extremely happy. They had also lifted a few sections of our back side walk. Again, a great job. Excellent crew that worked well together, and a fair price. I would totally recommend them to family, friends, and neighbors."

Foundation Repair FAQs, answered by experts

Barring extreme home foundation problems, most horizontal foundation cracks are fixable using one or more methods. Most of the repair methods require professional expertise to accomplish, and include plate anchors, steel reinforcement, soil anchors, reconstruction, or carbon fiber strip applications. Contacting a professional to diagnose the problem early can minimize repair expenses.

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.

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.

While a contractor is on-site repairing your concrete steps, you can have them inspect other concrete surfaces for minor damage. They may be able to fix cracks in your driveway or garage floor during the same visit. You can also ask them to check your home's foundation for minor issues they can address. However, general concrete repair experts typically cannot handle larger jobs, like leveling a sunken foundation. For major structural projects, you will need to hire a structural engineer.

Minor slab leaks normally take around three hours to access and fix, provided the leak is in an accessible location. However, a more extensive leak or a leak in a hard-to-reach location can take several days to fix, depending on the resulting damage. You might also want to consider the timeline for the build-back if the leak damages building materials like flooring or cabinets, which can take several weeks, including delivery of the materials.
