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 brickwork, 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.

What is Foundation Settlement?
- Compression of poorly compacted fill soil
- Drying and contracting of soil
- Wetting and softening of soil
Why You Should Fix Foundation Settlement
A home with settlement issues will never get better on its own. Over time new issues will develop that may require additional work. Fixing foundation settlement can help restore the safety of your home, correct window and door functionality, deter insects and rodents from entering your home, and prevent water intrusions.
Over time as a foundation continues to settle, it may cause foundation wall cracks or water to leak into your basement, requiring a basement waterproofing system.
In addition, homeowners who are looking to sell their homes are required to complete a disclosure form identifying any defects. If you repair your foundation settlement issues before selling your home, you can increase the resale value and save on last-minute premiums for settlement repair.

Foundation Repair In St. Louis
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!
