Why Foundation Repair Matters
Your foundation supports your entire home. When cracks, settling, or water damage weakens the foundation, it affects everything from your walls to your roof. Small problems turn into big expenses if you wait too long. That is why catching foundation issues early saves you money and stress down the road.
At SV Simi Valley Masonry, we repair brick, stone, and concrete foundations throughout Simi Valley. Whether you have visible cracks, moisture problems, or structural concerns, we diagnose the issue and fix it right. We use proven repair methods that restore stability and prevent future damage.
Foundation problems show up in different ways. You might see cracks in your basement walls, gaps around doors and windows, or uneven floors. Water seeping into your basement is another common sign. These issues do not fix themselves. They get worse over time and can lead to mold, pest infestations, and serious structural damage.
Common Foundation Problems We Fix
Foundation damage happens for several reasons. Soil movement, water intrusion, and age all contribute to foundation problems. In Simi Valley, shifting soil and seasonal weather changes put stress on foundations. Here is what we commonly repair:
- Vertical and horizontal cracks in foundation walls
- Bowing or leaning foundation walls from soil pressure
- Settling and sinking that causes uneven floors
- Crumbling or spalling brick and mortar
- Water seepage through foundation walls or floors
- Missing or damaged mortar joints between blocks
We start every job with a thorough inspection. We look for signs of movement, water damage, and structural weakening. Then we explain what is happening and what needs to be done. Some repairs are simple, like repointing mortar joints or filling minor cracks. Others require more extensive work like reinforcing walls or installing drainage systems.
Waterproofing Solutions That Work
Water is the biggest enemy of your foundation. When water seeps through walls or pools around your foundation, it weakens the structure and creates moisture problems inside. Waterproofing stops water before it causes damage.
Our waterproofing services include:
- Exterior waterproofing membranes and coatings
- Interior sealants for basement walls and floors
- French drain installation to redirect water away
- Sump pump installation and maintenance
- Crack injection with epoxy or polyurethane
- Grading and drainage improvements around foundations
Proper waterproofing keeps your basement dry and prevents mold growth. It also protects your foundation from freeze-thaw damage during winter. We use commercial-grade waterproofing products that stand up to heavy rain and groundwater pressure.
Many homeowners combine foundation repair with waterproofing. This gives you complete protection against structural damage and moisture problems. We also work on retaining walls that help manage water flow around your property. Good drainage is key to a healthy foundation.
