Foundation Repair

Your home’s foundation is critical to its stability and long-term safety. Over time, issues like cracks, shifting, settling, and bowing walls can compromise the structure and lead to costly damage. Our experienced team specializes in diagnosing and repairing all types of foundation problems using industry-proven methods such as wall bracing, piering, and carbon fiber reinforcement. Every solution is tailored to your property’s specific needs to ensure long-lasting strength, stability, and peace of mind.

Basement Waterproofing

A wet or damp basement can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and poor indoor air quality. We offer complete basement waterproofing solutions—including interior weeping tile systems, sump pump installations, exterior waterproof membranes, and crack sealing—to keep water out and protect your home. Our expert technicians assess your basement’s condition and design a system that keeps it dry, usable, and healthy year-round, no matter the weather.

Crawl Space Repair

A neglected crawl space can lead to sagging floors, musty odors, moisture buildup, and even pest infestations. We offer full crawl space repair services including joist and beam reinforcement, wood rot treatment, and water damage restoration. By addressing the root cause of the problem, we restore the strength and safety of the structure above—making your home more secure and your living space healthier.

Concrete Lifting

Sinking or uneven concrete slabs can be dangerous and unsightly. Our concrete lifting services—also known as slab jacking or polyurethane foam injection—are a fast, cost-effective alternative to full replacement. We raise and level sunken sidewalks, driveways, patios, garage floors, and more, restoring safety and curb appeal. The process is minimally invasive, long-lasting, and ready for use within hours.

Crawl Space Encapsulation

Moisture and humidity in your crawl space can affect your entire home. Our encapsulation services create a sealed, climate-controlled environment that prevents mold, mildew, pests, and structural deterioration. We install heavy-duty vapor barriers, proper drainage systems, insulation, and dehumidifiers to protect your home’s foundation and improve indoor air quality. Encapsulation also boosts energy efficiency and can even lower your utility bills over time.

Masonry

From cracked bricks and crumbling mortar to new installations, our masonry services enhance both the appearance and durability of your property. We specialize in the repair, restoration, and construction of brick, stone, and block structures including steps, retaining walls, facades, and walkways. Our skilled craftsmen ensure every job is built to last and finished with attention to detail—preserving the charm and strength of your home.

Chimney repairs

A damaged or deteriorating chimney can be more than just an eyesore—it can pose serious safety risks. We provide comprehensive chimney repair services, including brick replacement, mortar repointing (tuckpointing), chimney crown repair, and waterproofing. Whether your chimney is leaning, cracking, or leaking, our team will restore it to safe, functional condition while enhancing its appearance and durability.

French drainage

Managing excess groundwater is essential to preventing basement flooding and foundation damage. Our French drain systems are expertly designed to redirect water away from your home’s foundation, using a combination of perforated piping, gravel, and proper grading. Whether you’re dealing with standing water, soggy soil, or a high water table, our drainage solutions keep your basement and foundation dry and secure.

Underpinning

If your home is showing signs of foundation failure—like severe cracking, sloping floors, or settling—underpinning may be necessary. This specialized process involves strengthening and deepening the existing foundation to support the weight of the structure more effectively. We use proven techniques such as helical or push piers to stabilize the foundation, lift sagging areas, and prevent future movement. Underpinning is also ideal for basement conversions or additions that require deeper support.

Advanced Systems to Stabilize, Repair, and Protect Your Home

At Queen City Basement & Foundation Repairs, we offer a range of advanced, engineered solutions designed to permanently stabilize and protect your home. Whether you're dealing with a sinking foundation, bowing walls, moisture issues, or crawl space concerns, our systems are built for long-term performance and peace of mind. All installations are completed by certified technicians using high-quality, proven products backed by warranties.

Crawl Space Supports

Sagging floors and bouncy floorboards often point to failing crawl space supports. Our crawl space support systems are designed to stabilize and strengthen weakened floor joists and beams, lifting your floors back to their original position. These galvanized steel supports are fully adjustable and installed with minimal disruption, providing a permanent solution to structural problems caused by moisture, rot, or soil movement.

Helical Piers

Helical piers are a proven solution for stabilizing and lifting sinking or settling foundations. Installed deep into load-bearing soil using hydraulic equipment, these steel piers provide a strong, lasting anchor for your home’s foundation. Ideal for lighter structures or where soil conditions vary, helical piers offer immediate support and long-term protection against future movement.

Push Piers

Push piers are heavy-duty steel supports that are hydraulically driven into stable soil or bedrock beneath your foundation. They’re especially effective for heavier homes experiencing foundation settlement or shifting. Once installed, push piers can lift your foundation back to its original position and permanently stabilize the structure—offering a reliable and minimally invasive repair method.

Wall Repair System

Cracked, leaning, or bowing basement walls are signs of serious structural stress. Our wall repair systems are designed to reinforce damaged walls using carbon fiber straps, steel I-beams, or specialized bracing methods. These systems not only stop further movement but can often restore the wall to a straighter position—all without the need for full wall replacement.

Wall Anchors

Moisture and humidity in your crawl space can affect your entire home. Our encapsulation services create a sealed, climate-controlled environment that prevents mold, mildew, pests, and structural deterioration. We install heavy-duty vapor barriers, proper drainage systems, insulation, and dehumidifiers to protect your home’s foundation and improve indoor air quality. Encapsulation also boosts energy efficiency and can even lower your utility bills over time.

Interior Drain System

Our interior drain systems are designed to capture and redirect water before it can enter your basement. Installed along the perimeter of your basement floor, these systems collect water and funnel it to a sump pump, effectively preventing flooding and water damage. Combined with other waterproofing methods, interior drains provide a complete defense against basement moisture problems.

Sump Pump

A high-quality sump pump is essential for keeping your basement dry and protected during heavy rains or groundwater buildup. We install reliable, energy-efficient sump pump systems that automatically remove water collected by drainage systems. With optional battery backup systems available, your basement remains protected even during power outages.

Dehumidifier

Moisture in the air can lead to mold, mildew, musty odors, and poor indoor air quality—especially in basements and crawl spaces. Our commercial-grade dehumidifiers are specifically designed to control humidity in below-grade spaces. By maintaining optimal moisture levels, these units help protect your home’s structure and create a healthier living environment.

Signs of Foundation Damage

Your home’s foundation plays a critical role in its safety, structure, and value. Over time, shifting soil, water damage, poor construction, or aging materials can lead to foundation issues that worsen if not addressed early. If you suspect something’s wrong, there are visible signs you can look for around your home.

Leaking Window Well

A leaking window well is often a sign of poor drainage or cracks in your foundation walls. When water pools around your basement windows, it can seep through and cause interior water damage, mold growth, and even structural deterioration. This is often linked to failing window well liners, clogged drains, or grading issues around the home.

Uneven Floors

If your floors are sloped, sagging, or feel uneven underfoot, it’s a strong indication of foundation settlement or crawl space failure. Shifting soil, aging supports, or moisture-related damage to joists and beams can cause these structural shifts. Ignoring uneven floors can lead to major repairs down the line and compromise the integrity of your home.

Musty Basement

A persistent musty smell in your basement typically means there’s excess moisture and poor ventilation. This odor is often caused by mold or mildew growing on damp surfaces. Musty smells can signal water seepage through foundation walls or floors, high humidity levels, or poor drainage—all of which can lead to bigger problems if left unchecked.

Wet Basement Floors

Water on your basement floor—whether from seepage, condensation, or flooding—is a red flag. This could stem from hydrostatic pressure pushing water through cracks, a failed sump pump, poor drainage, or high water tables. Wet floors not only damage flooring and belongings but also create the perfect conditions for mold, mildew, and structural decay.

Crawl Space Mold

Mold growth in your crawl space is a clear sign of excessive moisture and poor air circulation. Left untreated, it can spread to other parts of your home, affect air quality, and cause respiratory issues. Mold in the crawl space also weakens wooden structural components, putting your home at risk of further damage.

Basement Floor Cracks

Cracks in your basement floor may appear harmless, but they can signal foundation movement, settling, or water pressure beneath the slab. Wider or expanding cracks can allow water to enter your basement and compromise the structure. Monitoring and sealing these cracks is key to preventing future issues.

Floor Joist Failure

When floor joists weaken or fail—due to moisture, rot, or termite damage—you may notice sagging floors, bouncing when you walk, or separation between flooring and baseboards. These structural issues can worsen quickly, especially in homes with crawl space moisture problems, and require immediate reinforcement to restore stability and safety.
