Foundation Repair in Duluth, MN

Review Logo 4.8 (507)

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

Water Damage

Excess water from leaks, heavy rains, or floods can weaken the foundation by accumulating around it, leading to cracks and structural issues.

Expansive Soil

Certain types of soil, particularly those rich in clay minerals, are prone to expansion when wet and contraction when dry, exerting pressure on your foundation.

Poor Drainage

Improper drainage systems can lead to water pooling around the foundation, increasing the risk of water damage and soil erosion.

Tree Roots

Roots from nearby trees can grow under the foundation, causing it to shift or crack as they expand.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Climate Conditions

Extreme weather conditions, such as droughts or heavy rains, can cause soil to expand or contract, putting stress on the foundation.

These common causes highlight the importance of regular maintenance and inspections to prevent foundation damage and ensure the longevity of your home.
