Foundation Repair in Lincoln, IL

Review Logo 4.7 (115)

Foundations in Lincoln are particularly susceptible to damage due to the expansive clay soils found throughout the region. Homeowners should be aware that, while some settling is normal, significant foundation issues can arise, especially when cracks and other warning signs appear. The heavy rainfall during the fall months can create hydrostatic pressure around your foundation, exacerbating existing problems and threatening the stability of your home.

Foundation Recovery Systems (FRS), a Groundworks Company, is here to assist Lincoln homeowners with foundation repair and a variety of other critical services, including basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete lifting. Our mission is to provide high-quality solutions and personalized service throughout Illinois and the surrounding areas. With our trained technicians, leading-edge products, and nationally backed warranties, FRS is dedicated to restoring and reinforcing your home's foundation.

Why your neighbors trust Foundation Recovery Systems

We've earned 107 five star reviews.

"Recently purchased a commercial grade dehumidifier from FRS and had it installed in our crawl space. Timber was very knowledgeable about the product and size of unit we needed. The installation crew arrived on time and made a modification to the wooden frame of our crawl space entrance to enable the unit to fit through the opening and be properly installed. A few months later, Timber stopped by to check on things to be certain that the unit was functioning properly and that there was no kink in the drain hose or anything. As a result, the crawl space is bone dry despite the high temperatures and humidity we have had this summer. The unit is doing what it is designed to do. We are very satisfied with Foundation Recovery Systems and recommend their services."

Types of Foundation Damage in Lincoln

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Lincoln

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.
