"I can’t say anything but great things about Gunter the technician that came to do my annual home inspection this year. He was very professional and competent explained things well. He also went above and beyond because there was a part that needed to be replaced, and he did not have it in his truck, but he made a point to call me on Saturday. Yes the weekend and say he was in the area and would be happy to run by and put it on if that was OK. I told him that would be fine and that I was extremely impressed that he would make time on his day off to take care of getting this fixed. It is a great company and Gunter is a great example of the talented service oriented staff they have."

Types of Basement Damage in Birmingham

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Birmingham

Expansive Soil

If your home is built on clay-heavy soil, it may expand when wet and shrink during dry spells. This constant movement puts pressure on your basement walls, potentially causing cracks and structural damage.

Climate Conditions

Heavy rains or drought can cause soil movement, leading to cracks or water intrusion in your basement. Basement repair addresses these issues, protecting your home and ensuring a dry, stable space.

Hydrostatic Pressure

When water collects around your foundation, it creates hydrostatic pressure that pushes against your basement walls and floor. This pressure can lead to cracks, leaks, and water damage.

Poor Drainage Systems

Without proper drainage, water pools near your foundation instead of being directed away. This can seep into your basement, causing moisture problems and structural weakening.

Foundation Weaknesses

Over time, natural settling or construction issues can cause cracks in your foundation. These openings allow water to enter your basement, leading to further problems if not addressed.
