I live in townhouses that are older and while we are renting and had the foundation in our basement repaired. It was nothing we were looking forward to as we were told it would be a week long process by our owners and they came in on Monday, Josh Eaton, Chris Horton and Aaron Hernandez. They were very polite and very clean! They did an amazing job doing whatever needed done I just know my floor is smooth and it only took them 2.5 days!!! So quick! Great over all experience if we ever needed help with a house in the future going to be giving them a call!!! Also the amount of rock they had to carry up the stairs and equipment they don’t get paid ENOUGHHH! So much hard work!

Nick Mata was here today for a check under our house. He spent a good amount of time under the house and then was very thorough in going over our issues. He explained those issues and the remedy very clearly. We feel we can trust his opinion based on his apparent knowledge. I have already recommended him to another homeowner today. Thank you for your help. David and Ginger White

Home Repair Specialists in Springfield

Homeowners in Springfield, Illinois, understand the challenges that variable weather and soil conditions can pose on their home’s foundation and basement. When warning signs appear, it’s best to consult the experts at Foundation Repair Specialists. 

Situated in Central Illinois, Springfield experiences humid summers, cold winters, and occasional heavy rainfall, which can be taxing on your home. Without proper waterproofing or adequate support, your basement or crawl space may be at risk of mold growth and wood rot, jeopardizing your home’s structural integrity. Damp, moldy walls in your basement, wet carpets, and a persistent musty odor emanating from your home’s lower structure are all indications of moisture and water control problems. Combined with the region’s soil type, these climate factors can cause serious damage to your home. 

Springfield is known for its silty clay loam soils, such as the Drummer series. These soil types tend to hold water, which can create issues for homeowners during periods of heavy rainfall. As the soil expands and contracts due to changing moisture levels, it can cause cracks in your home’s foundation, concrete slab driveway, and sidewalks. You may also observe bowing in your walls, or even cracks and gaps in your walls.  

To protect your home from these issues, trust the professionals at Foundation Repair Specialists to provide the necessary solutions and support.
