Foundation Repair in Des Moines, IA

Review Logo 4.8 (468)

Des Moines' clay soil, while providing some stability, can lead to foundation issues due to the area's average annual precipitation of 36 inches. Excess moisture can soften the soil, causing foundations to settle and leading to problems like uneven floors and cracks in walls.

Why your neighbors trust Foundation Recovery Systems

We've earned 438 five star reviews.

"Jordan was exceptional in his detailed explanation of the work that would be done. He took the time to thoroughly assess our situation and also to extensively talk through options. While customer service is paramount for us, and he certainly deserves a 10 out of 10, FRS was a substantially better value from a cost standpoint as well, compared to estimates we received elsewhere. If you need to prove it to yourself, go ahead and take the time to get multiple bids...but if you want to save the time, just make one call to Jordan and Foundation Recovery Systems!"

Types of Foundation Damage in Des Moines

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Des Moines

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.
