Foundation Repair in Scranton, PA

The stability and health of your foundation are heavily influenced by the soil conditions, especially in Scranton, where average annual precipitation reaches about 43 inches. The local clay and silty soils can absorb excessive moisture, causing them to expand and create pressure under your foundation. This can lead to serious structural issues, including wall cracks and uneven floors. Baker's Waterproofing provides tailored foundation repair solutions, including pier systems, wall anchors, and carbon fiber reinforcements, designed to support your home independently of the soil.

Baker's Waterproofing, a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to helping homeowners with their foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space repair and encapsulation, and concrete lifting needs. Our focus is on delivering high-quality home repair solutions and personalized service across Pennsylvania and Northern West Virginia. With a team of skilled technicians, industry-leading products, and nationally backed warranties, Baker's is committed to restoring the strength and safety of your foundation in Scranton.

Types of Foundation Damage in Scranton

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Scranton

Water Damage

Excess water from leaks, heavy rains, or floods can weaken the foundation by accumulating around it, leading to cracks and structural issues.

Expansive Soil

Certain types of soil, particularly those rich in clay minerals, are prone to expansion when wet and contraction when dry, exerting pressure on your foundation.

Poor Drainage

Improper drainage systems can lead to water pooling around the foundation, increasing the risk of water damage and soil erosion.

Tree Roots

Roots from nearby trees can grow under the foundation, causing it to shift or crack as they expand.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Climate Conditions

Extreme weather conditions, such as droughts or heavy rains, can cause soil to expand or contract, putting stress on the foundation.

These common causes highlight the importance of regular maintenance and inspections to prevent foundation damage and ensure the longevity of your home.
