Cracks in foundation or basement walls are often the first visible signs of foundation stress. They may result from soil settlement, hydrostatic pressure, or poor construction practices.
While some cracks may seem minor, they often allow water intrusion and can expand into severe structural issues. Identifying and repairing wall cracks early prevents costly damage and helps maintain your home’s value and safety.
These are often caused by soil settlement and can worsen quickly if ignored.
These cracks indicate shifting in the foundation beneath.
These cracks indicate shifting in the foundation beneath.
White powdery deposits or dark stains on cracks show active moisture intrusion.
Small cracks that grow signal that soil or foundation movement is ongoing.
Not all cracks are equal. Some are cosmetic, while others are structural. Our experts inspect and classify each crack to determine the right solution, from epoxy injections to structural reinforcements.
Cracks often start small but worsen over time due to water intrusion, soil movement, or ongoing foundation stress. Left untreated, they can expand into serious structural problems that affect your entire home. Our proven repair systems seal, stabilize, and protect walls so you don’t have to worry about recurring damage.

Yes. Even the smallest crack can allow groundwater to seep inside, especially during Ohio’s heavy rainstorms. Moisture leads to mold, efflorescence, and structural damage if not sealed.
We use epoxy or polyurethane injections to seal cracks and prevent water intrusion. For structural cracks, we often pair these injections with reinforcements like carbon fiber straps or wall anchors to ensure long-term stability.
When only patched, cracks often return. Our repairs target both the crack itself and the underlying cause, such as soil pressure or settlement. This makes recurrence far less likely.
Common causes include hydrostatic pressure, soil movement, or poor construction practices. Seasonal freeze-thaw cycles in Ohio also stress concrete, leading to cracks.
Painting only hides the problem. Without proper sealing, water will still penetrate the crack, leading to mold, staining, and further deterioration.
Right away. Cracks tend to expand after storms or winter freeze-thaw cycles. Early repairs are cost-effective and prevent structural damage.
Yes. Buyers are cautious of visible foundation cracks. Professional repairs improve your home’s safety, appearance, and marketability.

Every home is different, and every crack tells a story. Let our specialists inspect and explain what’s happening in your foundation.
Posted on Dana SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Update 4/12/26 The company reached out to us, came to our home and made a plan to properly lift our house. The work was done in a timely manner and we had a much better experience with them this time around. We are very happy with how things turned out. Awful company. We paid over $38,000 to raise our foundation 1.5”. It started cracking and they were unable to do what they said they could. They “stabilized “ it and left with our savings. It was the biggest waste of money and I suggest you go elsewhere. Garbage. Our house feels like it’s sinking more.Posted on Longitude 120 Engineering & DesignTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

So I had some work done by r and r back in 2019. I had six piers put in and really enjoyed Corey the owner… fast forward to 2026 and the other part of my house started having weird sounds and a crack in my ceiling… I live on a hillside and tons of water comes my way and a user error with a downspout may have caused more issues… I made an appointment to have him come Out and do an inspection with a bid…. It’s pretty rare these days to not feel like you have gotten taken… Cory did all the measurements and well it appears the house is just settling. The house was built in 1980 by the original owners and was definitely not built straight. Anyway… Cory literally put me at ease and said. “Let’s just keep these measurements and check them out in a year or so. “He could have easily have just said… “yup. You need six piers….” He didn’t. I highly recommend r and r foundation… thanks for being honest… it goes a long way! Also… when I do need the work done… I, of course, will be using them!Posted on Philip KoglerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. House built in 1913 did not disappoint with challenges with a leaking foundation into the basement. But, R&R came through and I am able to feel confident that any further water issues are no longer. If the opportunity presented itself, I would hire them again.Posted on Julie CarlsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had them come out to my house to look at an issue of water seeping into my garage which is built into a hill. For reasons that have nothing to do with them, I didn't end up getting the work done. However of the four companies I had look at it, R&R's assessment was easily the most thorough. They are the only one that did any significant inspection outside of the building rather than just inside the garage and their prices were comparable to the other companies I checked out.Posted on Andrew HarpsterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had R and R do some work on our older home that needed an update to the crawl space foundation posts a few years back. Work was accomplished in a timely and professional manner. Now in 2025, we are selling our home in a slow market and want to upgrade. We need to show the new buyers the application to transfer the foundation warranty ahead of the inspection in a few days as a show of good will to close the home. R and R's marketing manager, Jordan, was able to accomplish this promptly within one day for us and really set us up well to help close our home. While the foundation repair was important, it was years later, being able to connect with R and R again, and show the new buyers the work they had done and that it was done by a reputable company, that helped seal the deal.Posted on Christine FreitasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
