Cracks in Your Foundation, Walls, or Basement Floor?
Not all cracks are created equal, and we’ve seen thousands of them throughout Lansing and East Lansing over the years. Hairline cracks might just need monitoring, but horizontal cracks or stair-step patterns in your basement walls demand immediate action. We’ll come to your home and assess exactly what you’re dealing withâno guesswork, just honest answers.
The freeze-thaw cycles here in Mid-Michigan are brutal on foundations. When water seeps into small cracks and freezes, it expands and makes those cracks worse every single winter. That’s why we tell every homeowner in Ingham County: the best time to fix a crack is before next winter hits.
Doors and Windows Sticking or Won’t Close Properly?
When your foundation settles or shifts, it throws your entire home out of level. Suddenly, doors that worked perfectly fine for years start sticking in their frames. Windows become difficult to open or close completely.
We’ve worked on hundreds of historic homes in Old Town and REO Town where this is a common issue. The solution isn’t to plane down your doors or adjust your windowsâit’s to fix the underlying foundation problem. Once we stabilize and level your foundation, those doors and windows will work smoothly again.
Uneven or Sloping Floors Throughout Your Home?
Walk across your living room and feel like you’re going downhill? That’s your foundation telling you something’s wrong. We use professional-grade laser levels to measure exactly how much your floors have settled. Sometimes it’s just a quarter inch, but we’ve seen floors slope three or four inches in severe cases here in Lansing.
The clay-rich soil in Ingham County expands when it’s wet and contracts when it’s dry. This constant movement puts enormous pressure on foundations. Our pier systems transfer the weight of your home to stable soil deep underground, stopping the settlement for good.
Water Seeping Into Your Basement or Crawl Space?
Foundation cracks don’t just affect your home’s structureâthey create pathways for water. If you’re seeing water puddles after a rainstorm, or if your basement smells musty, foundation cracks are likely the culprit. We see this all the time in neighborhoods near the Red Cedar River and throughout East Lansing.
Standing water in your crawl space can destroy floor joists and create mold problems that affect your family’s health. We combine foundation crack repair with proper waterproofing to keep your basement dry year-round. Our solutions work with Lansing’s high water table and seasonal flooding patterns.
Gaps Between Walls and Ceiling or Floor?
When you see gaps opening up where your walls meet the ceiling or floor, your foundation is moving. These gaps might start small, but they grow over time as the foundation continues to settle. We’ve repaired foundations in homes all over Okemos, Holt, and Mason where these gaps were the first warning sign.
Your home’s structural integrity depends on a solid, stable foundation. Those gaps mean walls are pulling away from their supports, and that’s not something you can ignore. We’ll stabilize your foundation and close those gaps permanently.
Don’t Wait – Foundation Problems Get Worse & More Expensive
How Foundation Damage Progresses Over Time
Foundation problems never fix themselvesâthey only get worse. What starts as a small crack this year becomes a major structural issue three years from now. We’ve seen it happen countless times across Lansing, and it breaks our hearts because early intervention would have saved those homeowners thousands of dollars.
The progressive nature of foundation damage is predictable. Small cracks grow larger, allowing more water infiltration. Water accelerates the deterioration process, and each winter’s freeze-thaw cycle compounds the damage exponentially.Each one is engineered specifically for its location.
The Real Cost of Delaying Foundation Repairs
Here’s the reality: a foundation crack that costs $800 to repair today might require $5,000 in repairs if you wait two years. We’re not trying to scare youâwe’re just being honest about what we see working with homeowners throughout Ingham County. The longer you wait, the more extensive and expensive the repairs become.
Beyond the direct repair costs, foundation problems affect your home’s value. When you eventually sell your home, buyers will spot foundation issues during inspections. They’ll either walk away or demand major price concessions that far exceed what you’d have spent on timely repairs.

Foundation Crack Repair & Sealing
We use the most advanced crack repair methods availableâepoxy injection for structural cracks and polyurethane foam for sealing out water. Our epoxy injections restore your foundation’s structural integrity by bonding the concrete together stronger than it was originally. We’ve used this technique successfully on foundations throughout Lansing, from modern homes in south Lansing to century-old houses downtown.
For severely damaged walls, we install carbon fiber reinforcement systems that prevent bowing and stabilize the structure. This technology is incredibly strong yet minimally invasive. We can typically complete carbon fiber installations in a single day without excavating around your foundation.
Foundation Leveling & Stabilization
When your foundation has settled or your floors are sloping, we use steel pier systems to lift and stabilize your home. We’ve installed thousands of helical piers and push piers across Mid-Michigan. These piers are driven deep into stable soil or bedrock, creating permanent support that won’t settle like your original foundation did.
Slab jacking, also called mud jacking or poly jacking, works great for concrete slabs that have sunk. We inject high-density polyurethane foam beneath your slab, which expands and lifts it back to level. This process is fast, affordable, and perfect for driveways, garage floors, and basement slabs throughout Lansing.
Basement & Foundation Waterproofing
A dry basement starts with a solid foundation and proper drainage. We install interior drainage systems that capture water before it enters your basement, channeling it to sump pumps that remove it safely. Our exterior waterproofing involves excavating around your foundation, repairing any cracks, and applying waterproof membranes with proper drainage tile.
For crawl spaces, we offer complete encapsulation systems with heavy-duty vapor barriers. These systems control humidity, prevent mold growth, and protect your floor joists from moisture damage. We’ve encapsulated hundreds of crawl spaces in East Lansing and Okemos, and homeowners love the difference it makes.
