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.
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.

What type of warranties do you offer?
We offer a lifetime warranty on encapsulations that if the dehumidifier is in operation, the crawl space will remain below the threshold humidity that mold can grow.
Do you offer financing options?
Yes, we do! We know that crawl space repairs can be an unexpected expense, which is why we offer flexible financing options. You can protect your home now and make manageable payments over time. Our team will walk you through the financing process so it’s simple, transparent, and stress-free.
