Foundation Repair & New Builds
Structural crack repair plus new poured foundations for additions, garages, and outdoor living.
Overview
Foundation Repair & New Builds Experts in Cincinnati
We pair local code knowledge, safety-first crews, and material choices that handle Cincinnati weather so your foundation repair & new builds lasts. You get clear expectations up front, clean execution on-site, and work that is meant to hold up through freeze-thaw seasons. If something isn’t right, we own it and fix it.
If your existing foundation is cracking or bowing, everything built on top of it is at risk. We inspect, document movement, and decide whether epoxy injection, helical reinforcement, or full wall rebuilds make the most sense.
Planning an addition or detached garage? Our crews also handle new pours from excavation through final cure. That means engineered footings, #4 rebar cages, vapor barriers, and drainage built in from day one. You get one team that can both rescue the old structure and create new concrete that’s ready for framing as soon as it hits design strength.
Common Issues We Fix
The problems we see most often and resolve fully, so you know we’ve done this before. We flag root causes, not just symptoms, and explain what drives cost or risk. If your issue isn’t listed, we’ll assess it during inspection.
Step Cracks & Separations
Stair-step cracks or gaps where walls pull away from slabs.
Bowing or Leaning Walls
Soil pressure pushing block walls inward.
Water & Efflorescence
Moisture wicking through porous masonry creating white staining.
New Footings Needed
Additions or garages built on thin slabs needing proper reinforced footings.
