Foundation Repair Contractor in Rainier, WA

No. Thin, hairline cracks from concrete shrinkage are common and usually only need sealing. Cracks that are wide, offset or growing, or that show up with sticking doors and sloping floors, point to movement and should be looked at. Greg will tell you which kind you have.

Water is the usual cause. Clay soils soften when they stay wet through a long winter, downspouts dump roof water right at the footing, and high groundwater can wash fine soil out from under it. Fixing the drainage is often as important as fixing the concrete.

It varies widely because the jobs do. Sealing a crack and redirecting a downspout is a small job, while new footings under a settled corner or a replaced wall section is major work. The cause, how much is damaged and how hard the crawlspace is to work in set the price, and the estimate costs you nothing.

Often the problem is the wood structure in the crawlspace, not the concrete. Posts and beams sitting on damp soil or undersized piers can rot or sink over the years. Greg replaces them with new posts on solid concrete footings and brings the floor back as close to level as the house allows.

Yes. Greg offers emergency service, so if a wall is failing, a corner has dropped suddenly or water is pouring into the crawlspace, call and he'll get the house stabilized first, then plan the full repair.
