Professional Foundation Settlement Repair in St. Louis and the Surrounding Area

Last Thursday, I looked at a 25-year-old house in St. Louis County in which the homeowners were thoroughly confused over four proposals they received from underpinning and waterproofing contractors to repair distress to their residence. The four individual contractors’ proposals for stabilizing the residence varied dramatically, both in scope and in price. It is my understanding that a representative of your staff also looked at this residence. The homeowners commented that your people indicated that Perma Jack could not help them because underpinning would not improve their situation. I explained to the homeowners that their distress was due to soil heave and lateral earth pressures and that the best solution to reducing future distress was the installation of a good perimeter drain system. I told them it was obvious that Perma Jack was the only company they interviewed that had the integrity to admit that their patented system was not applicable to the problem. The “non-effective11 bids ranged from $12,000 to almost $28,000; for all practical purposes, monies which would have been wasted if the homeowners had proceeded with any one of these contractors. While the homeowners might not have appreciated it at the time, I’m sure they are thankful now for your honesty. We at Soil Consultants, Inc. very much appreciate your integrity. Best wishes in your future business dealings. Very truly yours, William J. Green, P.E. Principal Soil Consultants, Inc.

Perma Jack came out and stabilized the entire 60 feet of my basement wall. They dug a trench in my back yard and ran 10 heavy duty wall anchors thought the back basement wall and secured them in the trench. Then they back filled the trench and with all the rain and snow in Feb 2022, the trench opened up again. I called them and the owner Chris took my call – surprise! the owner Chris took my call. He had the guys fill in the trench, but my yard has a little hill and a gentle slope so the water drains away from the house and that grading was ruined so that the water puddled near the house. I called again and Chris sent 3 guys out to put my hill back and fix the grading. These 3 guys were wonderful. They listened to my description of how the hill should be and moved all the dirt back to where it should be. They did a wonderful job restoring the grading and flattening the yard like it used to be.
My hill is back and the water should drain away from the house now. They were very polite and patience with my requests to fill spots in here and there and level everything off. I felt kind of guilty asking them to do this & that, but they were very obliging.
PermaJack stabilized my house 22 years ago and did an excellent job sealing all the cracks in the foundation, even today there are no leaks in my basement.
It is nice to know in today’s world you can still count on some companies to keep their word and their customers happy.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to the 3 guys who did this.
I usually never write a review, but this time I had to, because these 3 guys were so polite and awesome. Perma Jack has twice done an excellent job for me. Love these guys!

My husband and I are first time homeowners. When we discovered that we had foundation problems, we didn’t know where to turn. A family member recommended Perma Jack of St. Louis because they had fixed his foundation, and he was really pleased with them, saying they did a great job. Because of that I contacted them via their website, and the next day one of their technicians called me and we scheduled an appointment. He arrived on time and was thorough and seemed very knowledgeable. After a detailed inspection of our basement and yard, he explained what our issue was, in simple to understand terms. They began work on our project as originally estimated. They piered our foundation on the outside and one section on the inside. Their crews were awesome. They were very professional, friendly, and kept us in the loop throughout the project. When they finished the job, it was as if they hadn’t even been there.
