Professional Foundation Settlement Repair in St. Louis and the Surrounding Area
A sinking or settling foundation can be one of the biggest and most expensive problems a residential or commercial property owner will face. The warning signs for this include long cracks in your foundation, stair-step style cracks in your brick work, diagonal cracks at the corners of door frames and window openings, and doors and windows sticking or being hard to open or close. To repair a settling or sinking foundation, we utilize the Perma Jack System®, which is a permanent foundation repair system that will stop your foundation from sinking. If foundation problems aren’t repaired, they can lead to additional repairs like the need for the installation of a basement waterproofing system, so it is important to take care of this as soon as you discover it.
For nearly 50 years, Perma Jack of St. Louis has provided residential and commercial foundation settlement repair to clients facing the threat of serious damage to their property.

When it comes to the safety of you and your loved ones, guesswork is not an option. We provide accurate diagnoses of your problems and offer foundation settlement repair solutions to ensure the security of everyone living in your home or working at your business.
