Iowa Foundation Repair

If you live in Iowa, you know that the winter months bring snow to the Midwest. As the snow starts to melt, it turns into excess water. The soil becomes saturated and water seeps into small cracks in your foundation walls. Overtime, your foundation may settle or shift due to water beneath your foundation. Look for obvious signs of foundation failure such as misaligned doors/window, wall cracks, bowing/leaning walls, leaning chimneys, and a cracked slab. If you have any of these signs, you need to hire a professional to repair your foundation before the problem gets worst. At WCI Basement Repair, we will assess your foundation issues and make a plan for waterproofing your basement.

As a homeowner living in Iowa, you want to maintain a foundation that protects your home’s value and the health of your family. Inspect your home for signs of foundation failure:

• Wall or drywall cracks
• Leaning chimney
• Bowing or leaning walls
• Misaligned doors/window
• Gaps between window frames and doors
• Cracked slab
• Floor cracks
• Window or doors that are hard to close or open
• Water leakage through cracks at wall base

If your home shows any of these signs, our team of professionals will examine the interior and exterior of your home. If we determine that you need foundation repairs, we offer quality foundation repair solutions to fix your foundation. Avoiding the necessary foundation repairs, will only make the issues bigger in the long run. Wall cracks will become wider and foundation issues will cause flooding in your basement. Water damage can destroy your living space and possessions. Wet basements can also create health issues for your family due to dangerous mold growth.
