Common Foundation Problems We Repair
Click any service below to learn more about the causes, warning signs, and repair options for each issue:
Foundation Leak
Water entering through cracks, joints, or porous concrete is a clear sign your foundation isn’t keeping moisture out.
Uneven or Sagging Floor
Your foundation or supports may be settling or failing, causing sloping, bouncy, or separating floors.
Bowed Walls
Soil pressure or hydrostatic stress pushes basement walls inward, creating dangerous horizontal cracks and structural concerns.
Collapsed Foundation
In extreme cases, walls or footings begin to cave in due to erosion, pressure, or long-term neglect — requiring urgent intervention
Foundation Cracks
Hairline to stair-step cracks are often the first visible sign that something’s wrong. We find the cause and stop the movement.
Foundation Settlement
Uneven sinking or shifting of your foundation due to poor soil or water intrusion causes cracking, sloping, and instability.
When Is a Foundation Problem “Serious”?
The truth? All foundation problems are serious if ignored. What starts as a small leak or crack can quickly escalate into bowed walls, rotted framing, or even total structural failure. That’s why Force Basements focuses on early detection and permanent repair solutions — not temporary fixes.
