Client Testimonials

  • "Rusnak has now done 2 jobs about 2 years apart. The first one involved removing a small window and replacing it with a much larger one. Rusnak came recommended mended by my window installer. The job was done promptly and very professionally and priced fairly. Now that I need additional brick work around 2 other windows, including replacing cracked sills, I made sure to have Rusnak back. Same great work, and fair pricing, I highly recommend for your brick needs."

  • Doors or windows that stick or won’t close properly

How is Foundation Repair Performed?

Foundation repair methods vary depending on the issue’s severity and cause. Common foundation repair techniques include underpinning using concrete or steel piers, which help to stabilize and lift the foundation to its original position. Other methods include:

  • Sealing cracks with epoxy or polyurethane foam
  • Installing drainage systems to prevent water accumulation, and:
  • Reinforcing walls with carbon fiber or steel braces

If your foundation needs repair, or if you have any questions please contact us today.

How Long Does Foundation Repair Take?

Foundation repairs can take anywhere from a day to several weeks, depending on the repair scope, the foundation’s condition, and the repair method needed. Minor crack repairs may be completed quickly, while extensive underpinning projects require more time.

What Exactly is Underpinning, and When is it Necessary?

Underpinning is a construction process used to strengthen or stabilize the foundation of an existing building or structure. It is necessary when the original foundation is not strong or stable enough to support the structure.

Contact us today if you have concerns about your foundation.

Is My Home a Good Candidate for Basement Deepening?

Homes that make good candidates for basement deepening are those with enough structural integrity to withstand excavation and underpinning. Older homes may require additional assessments to ensure that they can safely support the process. A professional evaluation can determine if your home is suitable.
