Sticky Doors/Windows
If you have windows or doors that are suddenly a challenge to open or close, that indicates something is going on with your foundation.
Is your foundation cracking, sinking, or shifting? Our team will permanently repair and restore it, giving you the ultimate peace-of-mind for your home or other structure.
Here in Western New York, our soils are often weak and saturated with water. That's why so many people are experiencing cracking foundations, uneven floors, and sinking homes.
Ignoring these problems can lead to costly repairs at best or, at worst, total foundation failure. We provide foundation repair services that permanently stabilize your home - for good.
How do you know if you need foundation repair? The best way is to have a professional give it a thorough inspection. But, here's the big tell-tale signs you can look for that indicate foundation settlement or sinking:
If you have windows or doors that are suddenly a challenge to open or close, that indicates something is going on with your foundation.
Does it feel like you're walking up, or down, hill in your own home? Uneven floors are a common symptom of foundation problems.
When new gaps appear between where the walls or ceiling meet the floor, you may have a sinking support under the home.
Noticed your chimney separating from the house or walls that are leaning? Your foundation may be shifting or sinking.
Are you seeing cracks in your exterior brickwork or concrete? That's a sign your home may be unevenly settling or sinking.
We don't simply fill cracks or apply patches - we permanently restore your foundation's strength by installing new supports called helical piles. These are then connected to your basement, crawlspace, or slab, levelling your home and completely fixing the problem.
The first step is to dig access points around your foundation so our team can prepare the area for your repair.
We take care to minimize soil disturbance and only take what's necessary for the job!
Once prepped, our team installs steel helical piles underneath your existing foundation - deep into firm and supportive soil.
This by-passes any weak conditions and ensures a lasting result.
We then install a specialized bracket that connects the new foundation piles to your existing support.
These are incredibly strong and durable, more than capable of handling demanding loads.
Using hydraulic jacks, we'll carefully lift and level your foundation on the repair brackets.
This helps close cracks, fix slanted floors, and bring everything back into alignment.
After your foundation has been restored to better-than-new strength, we simply replace the excavated soil to remediate the area.
Your foundation headaches are now gone - for good!

Yes. Unlike crack fillers or surface patches, helical piles are advanced steel supports that reach past the weak, water-saturated soils common in Western New York and into firm, load-bearing ground. Once your foundation is resting on that deeper support, the settlement problem is solved at its source - permanently.
Most residential foundation repairs are completed in one to three days, and many are finished in a single day. Because helical piles don't require poured concrete, there's no cure time - your foundation is supported the moment the piles and brackets are installed.
Often, yes. When we lift and level your foundation, cracks that were caused by settlement frequently close up on their own - in drywall, brickwork, and concrete. Some cosmetic touch-ups may still be needed afterward, but the underlying movement that caused the cracking will be stopped for good.
It depends on your town - permit requirements vary across Western New York municipalities. The good news: we handle this for you. Our team can provide the engineering documentation and help secure any permits or approvals your project needs.
Watch for the warning signs above: sticky doors and windows, uneven floors, gaps where walls meet floors or ceilings, leaning walls or chimneys, and visible cracks in brick or concrete. If you're seeing any of these, the best next step is a professional inspection - get in touch and we'll take a look, and we'll be honest if you don't need a repair.
