Serving Denver Metro Area & surrounding cities.
Worried about a foundation crack or sudden shifting? Do this first.
If you’re noticing new cracks, movement, or signs of settling, these steps help you protect the home and avoid guesswork:
- Take a few photos of cracks and problem areas (include a wide shot and a close-up).
- Note what changed and when (after a storm, after a leak, seasonal shift, recent construction, etc.).
- Check for water around the foundation (downspouts, pooling, wet basement corners).
- Avoid “quick patch” fixes (caulk/paint) until an assessment confirms the cause.
- If doors/windows suddenly won’t open/close, or floors feel noticeably uneven, schedule an assessment.
- If you suspect active water intrusion, address moisture first (leaks and drainage can accelerate problems).

Foundation repair starts with the right diagnosis
Not all cracks mean the same thing. Some are cosmetic; others can indicate movement, moisture issues, or stress in the structure. The key is understanding what’s happening, what’s causing it, and what repair approach actually solves the problem. We focus on clarity: assessment, documentation, and a repair plan that’s appropriate for your home and situation.
What you can expect
- On-site assessment and a clear next-step plan
- Documentation of the observed issues (photos/notes as needed)
- Practical repair options based on what’s happening (not blanket recommendations)
- Coordination for related work (drywall, paint, flooring, moisture issues) when needed
- Straightforward communication from estimate to completion

Common signs of foundation problems in Denver homes
Foundation concerns often show up as patterns. If you’re seeing one or more of these, an assessment can help clarify what’s going on:
- New or widening cracks in drywall or ceilings
- Stair-step cracks in brick or masonry
- Cracks in basement walls or along floor edges
- Doors or windows that stick, latch poorly, or suddenly don’t fit
- Sloping floors or noticeable unevenness
- Gaps between trim and walls, or separation at corners
- Water intrusion in basement/crawl areas (especially after storms)
- Repeating “patch and repaint” cracks that keep coming back
What causes foundation issues in the Denver Metro Area?
In many Colorado homes, foundation movement is influenced by a mix of soil behavior, moisture changes, drainage patterns, and seasonal freeze/thaw cycles. Common contributors include:
- Soil expansion/contraction as moisture levels change
- Poor drainage or downspouts dumping water near the foundation
- Long-term small leaks that keep soils consistently saturated
- Hydrostatic pressure against basement walls (water in surrounding soils)
- Tree roots and landscaping patterns that change soil moisture
- Construction or grading changes around the home over time
- Freeze/thaw cycles that stress exterior materials and soils
Foundation cracks: what they can indicate
| Crack pattern | Common location | What it may mean | Best next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hairline surface cracks | Concrete surfaces | Often shrinkage or surface-level cracking | Document and monitor; assess if widening or paired with other symptoms |
| Horizontal cracks | Basement walls | Often pressure-related and should be evaluated | Schedule an assessment; address drainage/moisture contributors |
| Stair-step cracks | Brick/block masonry | Movement or settlement indicators in masonry | Assessment + documentation; determine whether movement is active |
| Diagonal cracks | Corners of windows/doors or foundation walls | Stress/movement patterns | Assessment to determine cause and best repair approach |
A crack’s meaning depends on location, width, progression, and other home symptoms.
How our foundation repair process works
We follow a clear process so you know what’s happening and what comes next.
Intake call + symptom review
We learn what you’re seeing (cracks, sticking doors, uneven floors, water intrusion) and confirm urgency.
On-site assessment + documentation
We inspect affected areas, note patterns, and document findings to guide the repair plan.
Identify contributors
When relevant, we look at moisture and drainage factors that can drive movement and recurring issues.
Repair plan + scope
We outline recommended next steps, what the repair addresses, and what additional coordination may be needed.
Repair + coordination
We complete the scoped work and coordinate related repairs (drywall/paint/flooring) if needed.
Final walkthrough + next steps
We confirm completion and share guidance on monitoring and prevention (as applicable).
Foundation issues and water often go together
If your basement is damp, you’ve had leaks, or downspouts drain near the foundation, moisture may be part of what’s driving problems. In many cases, controlling water and drainage is a key part of preventing cracks and movement from getting worse.

Does homeowners insurance cover foundation repair?
Coverage depends on the cause and your policy terms. Some sudden, accidental events may be handled differently than long-term settlement, wear, or maintenance-related issues. If you’re filing a claim related to a covered event, we can support documentation and scope clarity when applicable.
What we provide (when applicable)
Photos and documentation of affected areas - Scope notes and repair plan summary - Coordination details for related repairs/restoration work
We don’t determine coverage—your insurance carrier does.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide foundation repair in the Denver Metro Area?
Yes. We serve Denver and surrounding cities across the metro area.
Are all foundation cracks serious?
Not always. Some cracks are cosmetic, while others indicate movement or pressure. An assessment helps determine what the crack likely means in your home.
What are common signs of foundation settling?
Sticking doors/windows, uneven floors, recurring interior cracks, and stair-step masonry cracking are common indicators.
Can water issues make foundation problems worse?
They can. Poor drainage or leaks can increase moisture around the foundation and contribute to movement or recurring issues.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. We provide free estimates and a clear next-step plan based on assessment.
Do you repair basement foundation walls?
Yes. We assess basement wall concerns and recommend the appropriate repair path based on conditions and contributors.
Will foundation repair also fix interior wall cracks?
Foundation repair addresses structural/root causes. Interior drywall and paint repairs may still be needed afterward, and we can coordinate those repairs as part of the overall plan.
How long does foundation repair take?
Timelines vary based on the issue, access, and scope. After assessment, we’ll outline expected phases and next steps.
Does homeowners insurance cover foundation repair?
