Foundation Repair in Ann Arbor, MI

Review Logo 4.7 (2,316)

The soil in Ann Arbor, often consisting of clay, can become saturated with moisture from the average annual rainfall of approximately 33 inches. This wet clay exerts hydrostatic pressure on the foundation walls, leading to common signs of foundation distress such as bowing walls, cracks, and sagging floors. If you notice sticking doors or windows, it may indicate foundation settlement.

"We called for a free consultation expecting someone to walk around, point out a few things and give us an estimate +/- $5k. Andy Hess arrived, was incredibly professional and took a good 30 - 40 mins inspecting the basement. I’m not someone who knows a lot about how my home functions. He sat with me until he was sure I understood each different offer. While it’s still an expensive project, I do feel that I’m in good hands."

Types of Foundation Damage in Ann Arbor

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Ann Arbor

Water Damage

Excess water from leaks, heavy rains, or floods can weaken the foundation by accumulating around it, leading to cracks and structural issues.

Expansive Soil

Certain types of soil, particularly those rich in clay minerals, are prone to expansion when wet and contraction when dry, exerting pressure on your foundation.

Poor Drainage

Improper drainage systems can lead to water pooling around the foundation, increasing the risk of water damage and soil erosion.

Tree Roots

Roots from nearby trees can grow under the foundation, causing it to shift or crack as they expand.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Climate Conditions

Extreme weather conditions, such as droughts or heavy rains, can cause soil to expand or contract, putting stress on the foundation.

These common causes highlight the importance of regular maintenance and inspections to prevent foundation damage and ensure the longevity of your home.
