Foundation repair services
Experienced foundation repair starts with understanding your home. Every service begins with a free, laser-measured evaluation.
Slab Foundation Repair
Pressed concrete pilings driven to refusal under a settling slab, then the house is lifted back toward level and re-measured.
Pier & Beam Foundation Repair
Replacing failed piers, rotted sills and cracked beams under raised Baton Rouge homes — the structural parts, not just the shims.
House Leveling
Re-leveling raised homes with steel shims and new pier caps, measured with a laser before and after so you see the numbers.
Foundation Crack Repair
Measuring, mapping and sealing slab and stem-wall cracks — after we confirm whether the ground under them is still moving.
House Raising & Elevation
Lifting slab and raised homes onto new foundations above base flood elevation — the permanent answer for homes that have taken water.
Concrete Leveling
Raising sunken patios, walks and garage slabs with mudjacking or polyurethane foam — a fraction of the cost of tear-out.
Warning signs
Signs your foundation is moving
One sign alone rarely proves you need repair — that's what the measurement is for. Cracks under 1/8 inch that aren't growing are usually cosmetic.
Doors that stick or won't latch
Seasonal binding that gets worse each August is the slab edge dropping as clay dries.
Cracks at door and window corners
Diagonal drywall cracks from openings are the most common early sign of settlement.
Stair-step cracks in brick
Mortar-joint cracks in a staircase pattern mean the beam under that wall has dropped.
Floors that slope or bounce
In raised homes: crushed shims, a failed pier or a rotted sill — structural wood.

How it works
From first call to final readings
-
Call and describe what you see
A person answers, asks where the cracks and sticking doors are, and books a free on-site evaluation — usually within the week.
-
Laser survey on site
We shoot floor elevations room by room, map every crack, check drainage and gutters, and look under raised homes. About an hour.
-
Written plan and price
You get a drawing of where each piling or pier goes, the price per piling, and the elevation readings — or a note saying you don't need us.
-
Repair and re-measure
Pilings are pressed to refusal, the house is brought back toward level, and we re-shoot the same points so you see the before and after.

Patch it, go cheap, or do it once
Three ways Baton Rouge homeowners handle a settling foundation, and what each really buys.
| DIY / patch it | Cheapest crew | Done properly | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What gets fixed | The look of the crack | Lifts the house; cause often ignored | Stops the settling, then lifts |
| Method | Caulk or hydraulic cement | Pilings pushed to a set depth | Pilings pressed to refusal; depths logged |
| Measurement | None | Eyeballed | Laser survey before and after, in writing |
| Drainage | Ignored | Rarely checked | Checked first |
| Paperwork | None | One-line quote | Piling map, unit prices, LSLBC number |
| Typical cost | $50–$200 | Lowest bid | Published range; written per-piling price |
Local conditions
Three things under Baton Rouge that crack foundations
Pilings solve settlement; they do nothing for a leaking downspout or a fault line.
Clay that swells and shrinks
River clays like the Sharkey series are 60–90% clay and crack 1–3 cm wide, 20+ inches deep in dry years (USDA NRCS).
Two active surface faults
The Baton Rouge and Denham Springs–Scotlandville faults have damaged 170+ mapped structures. Is yours near one?
Flood, fill and fast growth
August 2016 put water in ~75% of Livingston Parish homes, many on fill pads that are still consolidating.
