In most cases, failing foundations and crawl spaces can be repaired without the need for a full replacement. However, if structural issues go unaddressed for too long, foundation replacement may become necessary. Before taking that step, it’s important to explore all available repair options to find the most effective and cost-efficient solution. The extent and location of the damage will determine the best approach to restoring stability to your home.
If you’ve noticed signs like sagging, sloping, heaving, bowing, or cracking in your foundation, don’t wait—contact Engineered Waterproofing for a free, comprehensive inspection.
In the rare event that a full foundation replacement is required, you can trust our expertise. Engineered Waterproofing is one of the few companies in Northeast Ohio specializing in complete foundation, basement, and crawl space rebuilding and restoration. We have the experience, tools, and team to get the job done right.
Foundation Replacement
At Engineered Waterproofing, we follow a thorough, step-by-step process to ensure a strong, code-compliant foundation rebuild. We start by excavating around the damaged foundation, bracing the first-floor structure, and carefully demolishing the failing walls. A new footing is installed if needed, along with vertical rebar, drain tile, and stone for drainage. We then construct a new block wall foundation, grout and reinforce it per code, and apply a protective cementitious coating.
To safeguard against moisture, we apply waterproofing tar, install dimple board and downspouts, and add gravel over the drain tile with a silt fabric barrier. Once backfilling and grading are complete, we remove temporary supports, clean the site, and finish by installing dimple boards and securing concrete edges if an interior system exists. Our precise approach ensures a durable foundation built to last.
