Foundation Replacement

For severe cases of sinking foundation repair or settling foundation repair, we excavate, temporarily support your home's structure, and install a new foundation built to last: a form of foundation underpinning for homes with extensive damage.

Drilling a hole in drywall with a power drill and metal bit, creating an anchor point for wall installation.
Wall Anchor Tie-Backs

Large, screw-like anchors installed through your foundation wall into stable soil, creating opposing pressure that counteracts the hydrostatic force causing bowing foundation wall repair needs.

Steel I-Beam Stabilizers

A pre-engineered, permanent basement wall stabilization method using steel I-beams spaced every 5 to 6 feet to restore structural integrity to bowed, sheared, or tipped walls.

Basement renovation in progress with newly-installed carbon fiber strapping, wooden window frame, fluorescent lighting, and two workers in the background near construction materials.
Carbon Fiber Strapping

A lighter-weight alternative to steel beams, using military-grade carbon fiber straps that are stronger than steel for basement wall bracing without the added weight.

For concrete foundations, we chisel open cracks and inject sealant for lasting foundation crack repair and basement wall crack repair, then smooth the surface for a seamless finish.

Testimonials

Industry Experts, Customer Favorites

“From the start, Jake was very informative and answered all my questions and concerns. Workers (Gabe and Team) were very respectful of the house and kept our garage door shut every time they went in and out due to having cats who would like to escape. Job was done in 1-1/2 days, basically waterproofing an attached well pump room. Will see in the future if the problem is solved but by the quality of work completed I would expect 100% success. Thank you!!”

Keith C.

“We had four beams installed in our basement and are happy with the entire process. There was open communication throughout the project. We felt informed and like we were active in the decision-making process. We are satisfied with the quality of the work, but what really stood out was the professionalism and extra attention to detail from the crew.”

Nathaniel N.

“I highly recommend the Summit Basement Company. The project was quoted at a reasonable price and was completed in a timely manner. The owner and team were professional and stayed in communication during the entire process. They were patient and understanding when it came to answering any questions I had. Our home has a new foundation that is safe and secure. Thank you!”

Alyssa M.

“Summit Basement did an excellent job! Jake and his team walked me through the whole installation before and after, answered my questions. Jake was straightforward and don’t try to sell me things I didn’t need. The pricing was unbeatable. The team worked very hard and completed the job in one day. They went out of their way to protect all of our stuff in the basement. Highly recommend!!”

William K.

“Extremely happy with the end results of our project. It is very relieving to know we don’t have to fight water in our basement anymore. Jake was very helpful from start to finish. Tevin, the foreman, and his team consisting of Dave, Clay, and Matt, were a complete pleasure to have here while they were working on our project. They were all very professional and answered any questions I had along the way.”

Aaron L.

“I wanted an Egress window installed in my basement and chose Summit Basement Company because of the attention to detail and thoroughness – they did not disappoint! Each and every guy on the team was professional, respectful, and expert in their craft of installing these windows. Money well spent!”

Samuel B.

“My experience with Summit Basement Company was incredible. We were dealing with some concerns brought up by other basement waterproofing companies and blew our situation up into a “nightmare scenario”, throwing my family into a panic. Jake Rasho drove a long way to come take a look and provide perspective on our situation. It was not a situation that needed panic, but provided solutions he felt we could benefit from. Outside of his personable interactions, he never pressured a system that was way outside the budget and needs of my home.”

The Benefits of Foundation Repair

Foundation repair isn't just about stopping a crack. Here's what's really at stake.

Prevents Further Structural Damage

Left alone, foundation issues spread to walls, floors, and framing throughout your home.

Stops Wall Movement Before It Worsens

Bowing, shearing, or tipping walls only get harder and more expensive to correct over time.

Restores Your Home's Safety

A stabilized foundation means the structure holding up your home is actually sound.

Protects Your Home's Value

A documented, engineered foundation repair is a selling point, not a red flag, at inspection time.

Avoids Costlier Emergency Repairs

Addressing foundation stabilization early is almost always less expensive than waiting for a structural failure.

Long-Term Peace of Mind

An engineered fix from a trusted foundation repair contractor means one less thing to worry about with every season change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Watch for these common warning signs:

  • Cracked or leaning basement walls
  • Bowed, sheared, or tipped walls
  • Sloping or uneven floors
  • Doors and windows that stick or won't close properly
  • Mortar cracks or failing joints

If you're noticing any of these, it's worth scheduling a free inspection before the damage progresses.

Wall anchor tie-backs extend out into stable soil beyond your foundation, using tension to counteract the pressure pushing your wall inward, a good fit when there's enough yard space to install them. Steel I-beam stabilizers work entirely from inside your basement, bracing the wall without any exterior excavation. We'll recommend the right basement wall stabilization method based on your yard, soil, and the severity of the damage.

Yes. Foundation problems often show up as sagging floor or basement support beam and post issues, and floor joist repair is a common part of a full structural foundation repair. If your inspection reveals beam or joist damage, we'll walk you through the fix as part of your overall repair plan.

Foundation underpinning strengthens or extends a foundation's depth or footing, often using push piers driven to load-bearing soil or bedrock. We offer push pier foundation repair and foundation pier installation for homes dealing with sinking or settling foundation repair needs where standard wall stabilization isn't enough.

Yes. Crawl space encapsulation and crawl space structural repair are common companions to foundation work, since moisture and structural issues in a crawl space often affect the foundation above it. We evaluate your crawl space as part of a full foundation inspection.
