Foundation problems like a sinking foundation and cracked brickwork can be scary and frustrating as a homeowner. Check out our selection of solutions.
FOUNDATION REPAIR PROBLEM SIGNS
Is there a crack in the wall you’ve been meaning to fix but kept putting it off? Don’t let it go too long. The longer you put off addressing the problem, the more involved and expensive the repair is going to be. And your safety and your loved ones’ wellbeing will be in danger. Why expose your family to a hazardous and unsafe home?
WALL CRACK
Foundation wall cracks have several different causes, and each has its own unique solution.
Uneven floors are rarely caused by problems with the floor system itself. Instead, it’s often a settling or shifting foundation issue that has impacted the floor system.
Any opening made in a wall represents a weak point. This is especially true for load-bearing exterior walls. That’s why foundation settlement will often cause cracks around window and door openings.
Discovering a foundation problem at your Ohio home is upsetting, to say the least. A cracked foundation, tilting chimney, bowing basement wall, or sagging floors can easily make homeowners wonder what went wrong and how much this will cost. Luckily, the experts at Ohio Basement Authority have been using proven solutions to repair homes in Cincinnati, Columbus, Richwood, Hilliard, Defiance and Scioto County, for years and understand how the area’s silty loam soils and humid, often wet climate affects their foundations.

Although foundation repairs sound intimidating at first, understanding the proper repair is actually pretty simple, provided you have a knowledgeable and experienced inspector to help.
Our team will explain how lateral force from over-saturated soil puts pressure on foundation walls causing them to crack and bow inward. Or how, without proper drainage, the soil around your home can wash out, leaving a void for your home’s heavy foundation to settle into.
Your foundation inspector will do a complete walk-through to discover the cause of your home’s foundation damage and suggest the appropriate repair. If your home’s walls are cracking and bowing, often heavy-duty wall anchors are suggested. However, when you notice sloping floors, cracked exterior brickwork, or a tilting chimney, foundation piers may be the best solution.
The good news is you’re never alone. Our friendly team will walk you through the process. From the first phone call to annual maintenance reminders after products are installed, Ohio Basement Authority is here to help. Schedule your free inspection today.
