Foundation Repair in the Kansas City Metro
Overview
Stabilizing Settling Foundations
When a foundation settles, it’s almost always because the soil beneath it can no longer support the structure evenly, whether from expansive clay, poor original compaction, or water erosion under the footing.
We address this with steel push piers or helical piers driven down to load-bearing soil or bedrock, then use hydraulic jacks to stabilize and, where possible, lift the structure back toward its original position.
Every job starts with a free inspection so you understand exactly what is causing the movement before we recommend a repair method.

FAQ
Common Questions
How do I know if it is foundation settling or normal home settling?
Minor hairline cracks are common in most homes. Diagonal or stair-step cracks, doors that suddenly stick, or floors that visibly slope are signs of active settling worth having inspected.
What is the difference between push piers and helical piers?
Push piers are driven using the weight of the structure itself and are typically used for heavier loads. Helical piers are twisted into the soil like a large screw and are often used for lighter structures like porches and additions.
Will my house be lifted back to level?
In many cases we can achieve meaningful lift and stabilization, though the amount depends on how long the settling has been happening and the construction of the home.
Is foundation repair covered by insurance?
Standard homeowners insurance typically does not cover gradual settling, though it may cover damage from a sudden, specific event. Check with your insurance provider about your specific policy.
They installed push piers under our sunroom addition that had started to sink. Professional from the estimate to the final walkthrough, and they cleaned up the yard better than we expected.
