We Specialize in the Following Services:

Foundation Repair

Foundation Repair
Structural cracks, settling, or water intrusion can weaken the integrity of a building, making foundation repair essential. When these issues arise, our team investigates the root cause using industry-standard assessments and repair techniques tailored to the situation. Whether the fix involves pier installation, slab stabilization, or crawlspace support, we apply targeted solutions designed to prevent further damage. The result is a safer, more stable home that can withstand environmental stress over time. By addressing problems early, property owners avoid escalating costs and preserve the long-term value of their investment. Our foundation repair process emphasizes durability, minimal disruption, and clear communication every step of the way.

Excavation Services

Excavation Services
Preparing land for new construction or utilities can be a challenge without precise excavation services. Uneven terrain, underground obstructions, or tight access spaces require skilled handling to avoid costly delays. Our team provides residential and commercial excavation services that include grading, trenching, land clearing, and soil removal. We use professional equipment operated by trained crews to maintain accuracy and efficiency on every job. Customers benefit from clean, ready-to-build sites that meet project specs and local regulations. Whether clearing space for a new addition or installing drainage systems, our excavation services provide a clean slate for construction success.

House Jacking

House Jacking
Structural settling can lead to uneven floors, wall cracks, and long-term damage if left unaddressed. Our house jacking service provides a solution for stabilizing and lifting homes that have shifted due to soil movement or foundation issues. We assess the structure carefully to determine the safest lifting points and methods for each property. The process restores proper elevation while protecting the integrity of the home and surrounding areas. By correcting foundation alignment, homeowners improve structural safety, prevent further deterioration, and preserve property value through a controlled, engineered approach.

Basement Waterproofing

Basement Waterproofing
Basements are especially vulnerable to moisture intrusion, which can cause mold growth, structural damage, and reduced indoor air quality. Our basement waterproofing service addresses water issues at the source through drainage solutions, sealing, and moisture control systems tailored to the property. We evaluate soil conditions, foundation walls, and existing water paths to design an effective protection plan. By keeping basements dry and usable, property owners gain healthier living space, reduced repair costs, and long-term protection against water-related damage.
