Foundation Repair in Charlestown, IN

Review Logo 4.9 (265)

In Charlestown, the stability of your home's foundation can be compromised by the region's expansive clay soil. This type of soil is prone to significant expansion and contraction due to moisture levels, which can lead to foundation issues over time. With an average annual precipitation of around 45 inches, it is common for the soil to swell, putting pressure on the foundation and causing cracks and unevenness. Homeowners should look for signs of foundation damage such as cracks in walls, sticking doors, or a tilted chimney. AFS employs proven solutions like wall anchor systems and piering to stabilize your foundation effectively.

Types of Foundation Damage in Charlestown

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Charlestown

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.
