Foundation Repair in Charleston, WV

Review Logo 4.7 (197)

The soil conditions in Charleston, characterized by clay and silt, can lead to foundation issues, especially with the area receiving an average of 44 inches of rain and 20 inches of snow each year. Excess moisture can saturate the soil, causing it to erode and resulting in signs of home settlement such as cracked walls, sticking doors, and bowing foundations.

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.
