Foundation Repair in Des Moines, IA

Review Logo 4.8 (473)

Heavy rains can cause the soil to become saturated and unstable, leading to issues like settling foundations, uneven floors, and bowing walls. Foundation Recovery Systems offers innovative foundation repair solutions, including pier systems, IntelliBrace wall repair, and carbon fiber wall repair, tailored to address these challenges effectively.

Types of Foundation Damage in Des Moines

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Des Moines

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.
