Foundation Repair in Duluth, MN

Review Logo 4.8 (508)

Duluth and the surrounding areas have sandy loam soils which are easily eroded by precipitation. Unfortunately, soil problems like this cause foundation damage for your home. When sandy soil is bombarded by rain or snow (which Duluth receives 31 inches and 70 inches of every year), it breaks down quickly and can't support the weight of your foundation. This leads to settlement and sinking. Over time, other problem signs will arise around your home like wall cracks, stuck doors and windows, and bowing walls. Correcting these problems is possible with IBA's various foundation solutions such as pier systems, wall anchors, and carbon fiber wall reinforcement which support your foundation independently from weak soil.

Innovative Basement Authority (IBA), a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to helping homeowners in Duluth with their foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete needs. Our commitment is to provide high-quality home repair solutions and personalized service throughout Minnesota and nearby states. With fully trained technicians, industry-leading products, and nationally backed warranties, IBA is here to restore and reinforce your foundation.

Types of Foundation Damage in Duluth

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Duluth

Soil Settlement

Shifting or sinking soil under your foundation causes uneven settling, which can lead to cracks and structural issues.

Moisture Changes

Seasonal soil changes, like expansion during wet periods and shrinking during dry spells, put stress on your foundation, leading to cracks and instability.

Tree Roots

Nearby growing tree roots can shift the soil beneath your foundation, causing cracks and uneven support.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure, pushing against foundation walls and causing cracks or bowing over time.

Plumbing Leaks

Plumbing leaks near your foundation can saturate the soil, weakening its stability and leading to foundation movement or cracks.

Temperature Changes

Freeze-thaw cycles cause the soil around your home to expand and contract, which can cause for your foundation to shift and cause damage.

Climate Conditions

Heavy rains or drought can cause soil to shift, leading to cracks and instability in your foundation. Foundation repair restores stability, protecting your home from further damage and ensuring long-term safety.
