Foundation Repair

When it comes to foundation repairs, it’s important to choose an experienced contractor who can identify the source of the problem and perform the right repair. Brick, block, and poured concrete foundations all require different remedies, and the nature of the problem can vary widely.

• Soil shifting
• Excessive water or moisture
• Too little water or moisture
• Structural integrity issues

Any of these conditions can lead to a failing foundation, and receiving the proper repairs depends on picking the right contractor.

In Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin, you can count on the professionals from Dry Otter Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair. We use the most modern tools and techniques available to pinpoint the problem and apply the correct solution for your residential, commercial, or industrial property.

Foundation repairs can be handled the same way you’d handle a serious injury — you can put a Band-Aid on it and hope it gets better, or you can have a surgeon do what needs to be done.

Surface treatments are the Band-Aids of foundation crack repairs. They put a patch over the problem, but they don’t fix the underlying issues. For example, if your foundation crack is caused by soil shifting, the soil will keep shifting. Applying a surface treatment might slow down a leak, but the wall will keep getting weaker.
