Free inspection • Exact price in writing • 0% financing on approved credit
Colorado Springs sits on some of the most expansive clay in the state. It swells when it's wet and shrinks when it's dry, and your foundation rides that movement year after year. Throw in our freeze-thaw swings and a lot of homes that went up fast during the boom years, and it's no wonder foundation trouble is so common here.
We've worked out of our office at 1155 Kelly Johnson Blvd since 2004, so we know this ground. The rocky lots up near the Broadmoor behave nothing like the heavy clay under Briargate, Stetson Hills, or Powers, and we treat them differently.
The inspection is free. The estimate is straight. And the repair is backed by an independent structural engineer, not just our word. That's the deal we offer every homeowner in the Springs.

Why Colorado Springs Foundations Fail
The soil under your home is the whole story here. Much of El Paso County sits on Pierre Shale and bentonite-rich claystone, which is some of the most reactive clay on the Front Range. It soaks up the July and August monsoon rain and swells more than 10% by volume. Then it dries out through our long winter drought and shrinks right back. That push-and-pull works on your footings all year.
The weather makes it worse. Colorado Springs runs about 150 freeze-thaw cycles a year, near the top for any big U.S. metro. Water gets into a hairline crack, freezes, and pries it a little wider every thaw. Give it a decade and a small stucco crack becomes a through-wall crack, a control joint becomes a leak, and an unreinforced 8-inch basement wall starts to bow.
Where you live changes how the damage shows up. West-side homes around Old Colorado City, Rockrimmon, and the Broadmoor sit on rocky decomposed granite that drains well but settles unevenly where builders added fill over cut. North-end neighborhoods like Briargate, Northgate, Flying Horse, Cordera, and Wolf Ranch are built on expansive claystone, so we see heave and cracked slabs more than sinking. Out east along Powers, Stetson Hills, Falcon, and Peyton, clay mixes with loose fill from the fast 1990s and 2000s build-out, and one lot can heave in one corner and settle in another.
Getting the fix right means naming the cause first. Is it heave or settlement? Lateral pressure or vertical? Active clay or old fill? A repair that lasts 30 years starts by answering that, not by patching the crack you can see. That is where every Colorado Springs inspection we do begins.

Foundation Repair Methods We Use in Colorado Springs
There's no one-size fix for a Springs foundation. We pick the method based on the soil and the way your foundation is actually failing.
Helical Piers
Steel shafts we screw down past the active clay to soil that holds. Best for lighter loads: a settling porch, a garage, an addition that's pulling away.
Learn morePush Piers
Heavy steel tubes driven down to bearing strata with hydraulics. This is the muscle. It's what most sinking houses on north-end claystone end up needing.
Learn moreWall Anchors & Bracing
When clay pressure pushes a basement wall inward, anchors hold it. Given time, they can walk it back toward straight.
Learn moreEpoxy Crack Repair
Not every crack is structural. When it's just letting water through, we inject epoxy or polyurethane and seal it shut.
Learn moreConcrete Leveling
Driveway, walkway, patio, or garage slab dropped on dry soil? We lift it back to level. No tear-out.
Learn moreBasement Waterproofing
Drainage, a sump pump, and vapor barriers to keep monsoon water out. Do this and the repair holds and the mold stays gone.
