Our Services

We could just say we repair foundations but even that simple phrase involves a world of different skills and services. There is no one reason why foundations need a helping hand. There could have been poor installation or engineering miscalculation when the original foundations were planned and laid. Plus circumstances change with shifting water levels causing soil to shrink, compaction causing foundations to drop, or the building being extended or its load bearing extended beyond the original concept. Then there are the emergencies where flooding has caused water damage or subsidence tips buildings off the level. And the less urgent emergencies where damp is causing mold or mildew to spread through the property. For each and every one of those problems we are the solution.

Foundations should be the rock your building rests on and counts on for stability and durability but time has a knack of throwing up surprises. We deal with those surprises by modernising, repairing, or upgrading your existing foundations, whatever type they may be, in order to take into account the subsequent forces that are causing legacy foundations to fail.

Bloomington Basement Crack Repair

There are a dozen reasons why cracks appear in basement walls ranging from the harmless (drying, settling) to the more sinister (subsidence, soil shifting). Our foundation technicians can analyze and identify the causes of your cracking and deal with the underlying causes as well as taking care of the visible crack damage itself. We take cracks seriously because of their potential implications so when you call in our contractors you know that the one thing we aren’t going to do is paper over them. If you need basement repairs, call us today.

Bloomington Basement Waterproofing

Damp in basements is not something you should ever accept or put up with. IT doesn’t have to be evident flooding to be something serious. Even low levels of damp can lead to mold and mildew and may well be symptoms of more serious underlying problems that could be affecting the foundations your home rests on. We look for the causes of damp as well as the symptoms and deal with both in a professional and permanent way to ensure the structural security of your property as much as its appearance.

Crawl Spaces
Repair

Crawl spaces have their champions and their critics but if your building has a crawl space then the good news is that whatever the issues with it the fact that it is a crawl space means we can get access to it and deal with it (even if it means our technicians spend all day on their bellies).  We can encapsulate crawl spaces and lay heavy duty waterproof membranes to avoid the damp problems that often plague them or we can fully enclose them and incorporate the ventilation systems required to keep them dry and structurally sound.

Which is why commercial landlords call on us to stabilise their property with the latest in fully supportive helical pier and pile upgrades while minimising disruption to their business and working in close collaboration with other construction contractors on jobs.

House
Leveling

Your house is your home and that means there’s so much resting on that beyond the weight of the walls, floors and ceilings. If that starts to slip off the level it’s deeply disturbing on many levels.  So the good news is that we have dealt with all kinds of house levelling ranging from partial soil shrinkage that causes floor dipping to compaction issues that tilt walls and even entire houses starting to slip downhill. We can correct them all with any one of a variety of tricks we have up our sleeves including polyurethane foam injection, hydraulic leveling, steel piles, anchors, and piers.  Call on our skilled professionals and we’ll have your house back on the straight and level in no time.

“It started with the windows sticking and then a door jamming in the frame. We weren’t too bothered but a neighbor told us about subsidence in the street so we called in Bloomington Foundation Repair & Waterproofing who quickly established that the foundations down one side of our house were sinking.  To our great relief they also just as quickly sorted it out for us.  Very happy we called. - Sandy T.
