Foundation Repair Contractor in Federal Way, WA

Yes. Federal Way is about 35 miles northeast of our base in Rainier, well inside our 100-mile service area. Greg handles foundation crack repair, settled footings and crawlspace post and beam repair there, and the estimate is free.

It depends on the project. When one is needed, Greg pulls the permit from the City of Federal Way's building department and builds to whatever the permit and inspection require.

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.

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.
