Foundation repair in Central Illinois and the Quad Cities
The biggest issue in Bloomington, Peoria, and the surrounding areas of Illinois and Iowa is foundation settlement. Foundation settlement occurs when the soil below your home cannot support the weight of the foundation and the structure above ground. The cause of this is generally one of two things: the type of soil is unable to support the weight, or water has degraded the ground to be unable to support the foundation. Warning signs of foundation settlement are cracks in your bricks, sometimes in a stair-step pattern, and doors or windows sticking when you open or close them. These warning signs occur when the foundation sinks in one area and puts a strain on the rest of the foundation and your home.
What is Foundation Settlement?
Foundation settlement occurs because homes in the Peoria/Bloomington area are built on expansive clay soil that no longer supports the foundation. As a result, your foundation can sink or settle into the ground, causing damage like sticking windows, wall cracks, stairstep cracks, and more. Three common changes in the soil cause foundation settlement:
- Compression of poorly compacted fill soil
- Drying and contracting of the soil
- Wetting and softening of the soil
Foundation Repair Warning Signs
If you see any of these warning signs, they indicate a problem with your foundation. Contact our experts immediately to schedule a foundation repair estimate.
- Noticeable sinking of one or more wall
- Exterior or interior wall cracks
- Doors and windows hard to open or close
- Bowing walls in the basement
- Chimney leaning or pulling away from the house
If you see the signs above and believe that your foundation is sinking or settling, there is only one permanent and ideal solution to the problem: foundation piers. Force Basement Solutions will use one of two pier types depending on the situation and what is best for your home.

That’s why our team at Force Basements offers a complete foundation warranty that protects you in case of a foundation collapse. The Foundation Assure Warranty was created to protect homeowners from the high costs of repairing a collapsed foundation.
