Foundation Repair in Cedar Rapids, IA

Review Logo 4.8 (468)

Cedar Rapids homes are particularly susceptible to foundation issues due to the expansive clay soils common in the region. With an average annual precipitation of around 32 inches, the clay can become saturated, leading to hydrostatic pressure that may cause cracks and settling in your foundation. While some degree of settlement is normal, significant cracks and other warning signs indicate a need for professional foundation repair. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent further damage and ensure the long-term stability of your home.

Foundation Recovery Systems (FRS), a Groundworks Company, specializes in providing effective foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete solutions to homeowners in Cedar Rapids, IA.

Types of Foundation Damage in Cedar Rapids

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Cedar Rapids

Soil Settlement

Shifting or sinking soil under your foundation causes uneven settling, which can lead to cracks and structural issues.

Moisture Changes

Seasonal soil changes, like expansion during wet periods and shrinking during dry spells, put stress on your foundation, leading to cracks and instability.

Tree Roots

Nearby growing tree roots can shift the soil beneath your foundation, causing cracks and uneven support.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure, pushing against foundation walls and causing cracks or bowing over time.

Plumbing Leaks

Plumbing leaks near your foundation can saturate the soil, weakening its stability and leading to foundation movement or cracks.

Temperature Changes

Freeze-thaw cycles cause the soil around your home to expand and contract, which can cause for your foundation to shift and cause damage.

Climate Conditions

Heavy rains or drought can cause soil to shift, leading to cracks and instability in your foundation. Foundation repair restores stability, protecting your home from further damage and ensuring long-term safety.
