"I hired Baker's Waterproofing at recommendation of a recently hired plumbing contractor after their work revealed a leak coming through my foundation. I called Baker's and they sent somebody out for an initial inspection of my basement and garage. It was ultimately uncovered that my foundation was built of cinderblocks and was not only leaking water from the steep hill behind my home whenever it rained or whenever snow melted, but also that groundwater was welling up and through it from the ground below. Baker's scheduled a time that worked for both their workers and my time, and sent out Victor and Miguel to get a full waterproofing, french drain, and pump installation with backup system installation completed. Their work quality, work ethic, and determination to keep timeliness blew me away. Despite running into several complications and delays that were through no fault of their own, not to mention inclement weather on one of the scheduled days of work (heavy snowfall), they managed to work with their small crew to get all of the work done in about a week's total time. It only took them two days of work to complete a full job along nearly the entire basement wall, the whole back garage wall, and one entire side wall of the garage. On top of this, from start to finish of this project with Baker's Waterproofing, every person I spoke to and worked with was extremely professional, courteous, and explained anything I needed elaboration on clearly and concisely; and their pricing was not only competitive, but extremely reasonable for the quality and quantity of work they did.
I cannot recommend Baker's Waterproofing enough; they are worth every minute and every penny. Special thanks to Victor and Miguel. If I ever need anything Baker's Waterproofing can do again, I am definitely asking for them by name."
Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Apollo
Soil Settlement
Shifting or sinking soil under your foundation causes uneven settling, which can lead to cracks and structural issues.
Moisture Changes
Seasonal soil changes, like expansion during wet periods and shrinking during dry spells, put stress on your foundation, leading to cracks and instability.
Tree Roots
Nearby growing tree roots can shift the soil beneath your foundation, causing cracks and uneven support.
Hydrostatic Pressure
Saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure, pushing against foundation walls and causing cracks or bowing over time.
Plumbing Leaks
Plumbing leaks near your foundation can saturate the soil, weakening its stability and leading to foundation movement or cracks.
Temperature Changes
Freeze-thaw cycles cause the soil around your home to expand and contract, which can cause for your foundation to shift and cause damage.
Climate Conditions
Heavy rains or drought can cause soil to shift, leading to cracks and instability in your foundation. Foundation repair restores stability, protecting your home from further damage and ensuring long-term safety.
