Foundation Repair in Morgantown, WV
Wall cracks are common in homes in Morgantown, WV, but they are not always cosmetic in nature. More often than not, cracks will grow, let water inside, and lead to your foundation’s structural instability. This greatly affects your home’s appearance, value, and safety, as well as your family’s safety. Keeping your home safe and structurally sound is vital, and it needs to be done the right way with the right company.
Our experienced team at Baker’s Waterproofing knows exactly how Morgantown’s varied, unstable soil and wet, humid weather impacts foundations, as well as how to combat these forces. Our award-winning solutions and services have been trusted by Morgantown homeowners for 20 years, and we are eager to help you put your home back on solid ground, as well.

Foundation Problem Signs in Morgantown
Various problem signs will make themselves known if your Morgantown home’s foundation is damaged. You will notice foundation wall cracks, drywall cracks, drywall nail pops, cracked bricks, leaning chimneys, bowing basement walls, uneven floors, wall and floor gaps, and sticking doors and windows. These problems will not resolve themselves and require professional repair for effective, long-lasting protection. At the first sign of any of these issues, contact Basement Authority of West Virginia to book a free inspection and estimate with one of our experts.
What are the Causes of Foundation Damage in Morgantown?
The base or foundation of your home’s foundation is the underlying soil. This soil is often at the heart of what causes foundation damage. Situated in north-central West Virginia in the Appalachian region along the Monongahela River, Morgantown has a variety of soil types, including Monongahela silt loam, expansive clay, and well-drained sandy loam. The 28 inches of snow and 43 inches of rain Morgantown receives annually negatively impacts all these soils. In times of prolonged, heavy rain, water pools in the ground near the foundation, which creates hydrostatic pressure that causes leaks and fractures in the walls. Additionally, your foundation can settle into the unstable wet soil or voids left in the soil after a drought or from invasive tree roots.
Foundation Repair Solutions in Morgantown
For foundation repair to be effective and long-lasting, the solutions used to fix the problems must be personalized to meet each Morgantown home’s unique needs. That is why we offer a variety of foundation repair solutions and not a “one-size-fits-all” fix. Following a free inspection by one of our experienced professionals, they will recommend wall reinforcements or repairs such as wall anchors, specialized wall beams, or carbon fiber supports; pier systems including helical piers, push piers, or slab piers; or crawl space support posts. Each system works to counteract unstable soil so your home will be supported by solid ground once again, and everything we install is warrantied for extra protection.
