When You Need Foundation Repair
THE BDry® SYSTEM
Water Wear
Water is a primary cause of foundation issues. During dry weather, insufficient water around the foundation causes the supporting soil to contract, leading to the foundation sinking and walls bowing outward. Conversely, during heavy rains, excess water causes the soil to expand, which can push the foundation upward and exert significant pressure on the foundation walls.
THE BDry® SYSTEM
Poor Drainage
Poor drainage is often a significant factor in water-related issues around the foundation. Common causes include downspouts discharging water too close to the foundation, improper grading that allows surface water to pool near the home, and underground water sources surfacing around the foundation. Our consultants can evaluate your yard’s drainage and provide tailored recommendations to help safeguard your foundation from excess water.
THE BDry® SYSTEM
Plumbing Leaks
Rain is not the only potential source of water damage to your foundation. Undetected plumbing leaks near the exterior of your home can also lead to significant issues, including increased water pressure against foundation walls and erosion of the supporting soil. If you notice an unusually high water bill without an apparent cause, it’s advisable to have your plumbing inspected for leaks by a licensed plumber.

Cracks
Most foundations develop some cracks over time due to various factors, such as the drying and curing of concrete, temperature-related expansion and contraction, and pressure from groundwater during heavy rains. While small cracks that don’t leak or grow over time may not be a concern, certain types of cracks should not be ignored. These include:
- Cracks wide enough to fit a penny.
- Cracks that are leaking.
- Cracks running through brick or block.
- Cracks that are increasing in size over time.
- Horizontal cracks longer than a couple of feet.
