/foundation-repair From hairline crack injection through to stabilizing a wall that has started to move.
Vertical and diagonal hairline cracks are common and usually about curing and settlement. They let water in, they are worth sealing, and they are rarely an emergency.
Horizontal cracks are different. A horizontal crack across a block wall, especially with any inward bow, means soil pressure is winning. That one gets looked at promptly, because the failure mode is the wall, not the finish.
Repairing a wall without addressing the water that caused the pressure is a temporary result at a permanent price. Where the cause is drainage, the repair and the drainage go in together.
White chalky residue on block, a musty smell that never clears, cracks that keep growing, rust at the base of appliances, damp patches that darken a day or two after rain, and humidity you can feel. Any sign of water damage or mold is worth an inspection before it becomes structural.
Anywhere from three days to a week, depending on the scope of work and site conditions. You will get a specific timeline with your written scope rather than a guess over the phone.
Yes. Every system we install carries a lifetime labor warranty.
Interior work accepts that water is going to reach the wall, and gives it somewhere to go: a drain at the footing that carries it to a pump instead of onto your floor. Exterior work digs down along the outside of the wall and stops the water before it ever gets there. Interior costs less and is far less disruptive, and it is what most Lexington houses get. Exterior is the answer when the wall itself is the problem. Which one you need comes out of the inspection, not out of a phone call.
