What We Do
Our Foundation Wall Repair Services
Cracked Foundation Wall Repair
Cracks can develop in concrete or masonry foundation walls for several reasons. We evaluate the crack and surrounding wall before determining the appropriate repair method.
Bowed Foundation Wall Repair
Foundation walls can bow or move inward due to pressure from surrounding soil. We assess the extent of the movement and the condition of the wall to determine the appropriate repair solution.
Leaning Foundation Wall Repair
A leaning wall can indicate movement within the foundation. We examine the affected wall and surrounding areas to understand the condition before recommending repairs.
Concrete Foundation Wall Repair
Damaged concrete walls may develop cracking, deterioration, or other visible problems. We provide repair solutions based on the condition and construction of the existing foundation.
Masonry Foundation Wall Repair
Masonry foundation walls can experience cracking, deterioration, and moisture-related problems. We assess the affected areas and address the specific condition of the foundation wall.
Basement Foundation Wall Repair
Basement walls are exposed to surrounding soil and moisture, making them particularly important to maintain. We repair foundation wall problems while considering related water intrusion concerns.
Causes

Our Process

Inspect the Wall
We examine the affected wall for cracks, movement, deterioration, moisture, and other visible signs of damage.
Assess the Condition
The size, location, direction, and extent of the damage are considered along with the surrounding foundation.
Identify the Approach
Different foundation wall problems require different solutions. We determine the appropriate approach based on the wall's condition and the nature of the damage.
Complete the Repairs

Address Water Problems
If moisture or water intrusion is contributing to the problem, waterproofing or drainage solutions may also be considered.
Foundation Wall Repair & Waterproofing
Foundation walls are one of the primary areas where water can enter a basement. Cracks, damaged joints, and other openings can create pathways for moisture. Bennett's Foundation Experts also provides foundation waterproofing and basement waterproofing services. When a damaged foundation wall is also allowing water into the property, we can evaluate the repair and waterproofing needs together.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What are common signs of foundation wall damage?
Common signs include cracks, horizontal cracking, bowing, leaning, deterioration, water intrusion, and visible movement in the wall.
What causes foundation walls to bow?
Bowing can occur when pressure from surrounding soil pushes against the foundation wall. Changes in soil conditions and moisture can also contribute to pressure around the foundation.
Can a cracked foundation wall be repaired?
Many foundation wall cracks can be repaired, but the appropriate method depends on the type, location, and condition of the crack.
Can foundation wall repairs stop water from entering?
Repairing a damaged area may address one pathway for water entry. If broader moisture problems are present, additional waterproofing or drainage work may be necessary.

Yes. Foundation wall repair can involve both concrete and masonry foundations, depending on the property and the condition of the wall.
