Foundation Repair in Plainwell, MI

Review Logo 4.9 (900)

In Plainwell, the soil is often characterized by clay content, which can retain moisture and expand during periods of heavy rainfall—averaging around 33 inches annually. This can exert hydrostatic pressure on foundation walls, leading to common issues such as bowing walls and cracks. Homeowners should also be vigilant for signs of foundation settlement, including sagging floors and sticking doors or windows. Foundation Systems of Michigan has over 15 years of experience in foundation repair, utilizing proven American-made products like wall anchors and piers to ensure lasting stability.

Types of Foundation Damage in Plainwell

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Plainwell

Water Damage

Excess water from leaks, heavy rains, or floods can weaken the foundation by accumulating around it, leading to cracks and structural issues.

Expansive Soil

Certain types of soil, particularly those rich in clay minerals, are prone to expansion when wet and contraction when dry, exerting pressure on your foundation.

Poor Drainage

Improper drainage systems can lead to water pooling around the foundation, increasing the risk of water damage and soil erosion.

Tree Roots

Roots from nearby trees can grow under the foundation, causing it to shift or crack as they expand.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Climate Conditions

Extreme weather conditions, such as droughts or heavy rains, can cause soil to expand or contract, putting stress on the foundation.

These common causes highlight the importance of regular maintenance and inspections to prevent foundation damage and ensure the longevity of your home.
