Foundation Repair in Charleston, IL

Review Logo 4.7 (103)

Charleston, IL, is characterized by clayey soil, which, while providing a solid base for foundations, can also become problematic due to the area's average annual rainfall of approximately 40 inches. Excess moisture can lead to soil expansion and contraction, causing your foundation to settle unevenly. This may result in visible signs of distress such as cracks in walls, uneven floors, and bowing walls. Foundation Recovery Systems offers a range of innovative foundation repair solutions, including pier systems, IntelliBrace wall repair, and carbon fiber wall reinforcements, all designed to stabilize and protect your foundation.

Types of Foundation Damage in Charleston

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Charleston

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.
