Foundation Crack Repair in South Bend

Some foundation cracks are cosmetic, while others could be a sign of a serious structural problem. Cracks in a foundation could be caused by normal settling or a foundation problem.

Some signs of a foundation problem include:

  • Doors that stick
  • Windows that are difficult to open or have cracks
  • Sloping or buckling floors
  • Cracks in drywall
  • Gaps between the wall and the ceiling
  • Large cracks in the exterior concrete
  • Water in the basement or crawl space

When the soil around your home expands and contracts, this puts pressure on the foundation walls and can cause bulging and cracks in poured concrete or block foundation walls.

Ayers Basement Systems can stabilize and straighten foundation walls and help prevent further cracking. We offer a wide range of patented foundation wall solutions for homes in South Bend, including steel anchors and carbon-fiber straps.

South Bend, IN Home's Finished Basement Becomes Dry Again

Chad and Laura have lived in their 1990s home for eight years. When they bought it, the previous owner said the basement was sealed to keep out water. After a few months, they finished the basement for their two teenage sons. Over the last few years, they noticed water seeping up between the floorboards and wall whenever it rained, prompting them to seek a fix. To keep the water intrusion under control, they used a dehumidifier. After inspecting the area, the specialist found water damage and recommended a perimeter waterproofing system to prevent water from entering the basement. This solution included WaterGuard, a French drain installed below the floor slab, and a TripleSafe sump pump to remove water from the drainage system. Now, Chad and Laura can enjoy their finished basement again, knowing it will stay dry.

Water Intrusion in South Bend, IN Basement Causes Concern for Home's Stability

Brian and Sam were looking to buy a 1920s house as an investment property. Brian, a local South Bend, IN home inspector, knew the home they were looking to purchase had some problems that needed to get fixed before allowing renters to live in the house, ensuring a safe and comfortable space. 

 

After evaluating the space, it was determined that there was a lot of water intrusion through the basement walls, which showed signs of damage, mold, and cracked walls.

 

With Ayer's providing a full-perimeter waterproofing system and CleanSpace wall protectant, Brian and Sam can feel at ease knowing their renters have a clean, waterproofed basement. The CleanSpace provides cleaner-looking walls and serves as a vapor barrier and protectant. Now, all water will flow down the walls, into the waterproofing system along the walls, and pump out of the home through a sump pump.

Need an existing basement window swapped out for egress window. Should still be above grade and not require earthmove, as it looks out on a downhill. Don't have time to do it myself.

Project Location: South Bend, IN
We moved into our home about 2 years ago. We quickly noticed the floors seemed to slope from the center toward the outer walls. The backyard patio was severely sloped (we demolished it since moving in). Our drywall inside has noticeable cracking as well. We've had other company's out to inspect and have come to the conclusion that the foundation is sinking. Our neighbor had the same issue and you guys were the company he used to fix it.
