Our Foundation Repair Services

Crawl Space Wood Repair

When moisture causes crawl space wood to deteriorate, the wood should be replaced or reinforced with new wood. Dry Otter replaces beams, joists, and subflooring. We also install new support piers called jacks.

Basement Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber straps are lightweight yet strong materials used to fortify and stabilize concrete foundations. The carbon fabric is designed in strips that are applied to add strength to your basement walls to stop cracking, bowing, and shifting.

Signs That You Need Foundation Repair

Bowing Basement Walls

They are caused by water damage or soil expansion around your foundation.

Cracked Basement Walls

They result from hydrostatic pressure and soil settlement, leading to fractures in the foundation.

Drywall Cracks

Cracks occur from the settling of the foundation.

Sticking Windows

Windows can stick shut when the foundation shifts and settles, causing misalignment and hindering smooth opening and closing.

Doors Jam

This happens when the foundation moves or settles, resulting in difficulty opening and closing doors.

Sagging or Bouncing Floors

Floors sag and bounce when the support beams are weakened by excessive moisture in the crawl space.

Wood Damage

Wood in the crawl space is damaged over time by moisture, mold, or pests that live there when it is moist, like termites.

Damaged Piers

The soil under the piers and columns that hold up a home can be washed away by water coming through a crawl space.

You’ll walk away with a full understanding of your options; no confusion, no pressure, just clarity.

How long does a crawl space or basement inspection take?

Plus, with our financing options, you don’t have to wait.

Charlotte Foundation Repair

Foundation repairs are critical for the longevity and safety of a home. The foundation is the bedrock of your house, providing stability and support to the entire structure. If it's compromised, it can lead to serious issues such as sagging floors, cracking walls, and misaligned doors and windows.

Foundation Repair

Over time, these problems can worsen, threatening the structural integrity of your house and potentially making it unsafe to live in. By promptly addressing foundation issues, homeowners can prevent minor problems from escalating into major ones. This preserves the value of your home and gives you peace of mind.

Investing in foundation repair is not just about fixing a current problem, but also about safeguarding the future of your home.

And when it comes to Charlotte foundation repair, no one is better equipped and more recommended than Dry Otter Waterproofing.

What's the Foundation of My Home?

In our region, homes are typically constructed on one of three types of foundations – basements, crawl spaces, and slabs.

Basements

A basement is a part of a home that is either wholly or partially beneath the ground level. It usually consists of walls and a floor, creating a distinct space within the structure.

Crawl Spaces

A crawl space is a shallow, generally unfinished space under a home that can only be accessed by crawling. These spaces often have dirt or concrete floors and allow access to plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems.

Slabs

A slab is a flat, horizontal piece of concrete or stone that forms the foundation or base of a home. It’s poured directly onto the ground, without any crawl space or basement underneath.

Slabs are typically used in regions with stable soil conditions or in construction projects where a crawl space or basement isn’t necessary or preferred.

Dry Otter specializes in waterproofing crawl spaces and basements, but not slabs. We also offer certain foundation repair services.

Signs That You Might Have a Compromised Foundation

If you see any of these signs in your home or foundation, it’s time to schedule your free foundation repair with Dry Otter Waterproofing.

Bulging Basement Walls: These are usually a result of water damage or soil expansion around the foundation.
Cracked Basement Walls: Cracks in basement walls can occur due to water pressure and soil settlement, causing the foundation to fracture.
Drywall Cracks: These often arise as a result of the foundation settling.
Sticking Windows: Windows can become difficult to open or close when the foundation shifts and settles, leading to misalignment.
Jamming Doors: Doors can jam when the foundation moves or settles, making it hard to open or close them properly.
Sagging And Bouncing Floors: When support beams are weakened by excessive moisture in the crawl space, floors can sag and bounce.
Crawl Space Wood Damage: Over time, moisture, mold, or pests can damage the wood in the crawl space.
Damaged Piers: Water seeping through a crawl space can wash away the soil under the piers and columns that support a home.
