Appleton is at the heart of the Fox Cities, with the Fox River flowing right through it, flowing through the historic district with old brick homes, mid-century ranches, and newer subdivisions stretching toward the Grand Chute area. It’s a place with real character and rich history.
The area has expansive clay soils and pockets of poorly draining areas that can spell trouble for local foundations. Add to that Wisconsin’s constant freeze-thaw cycles and the elevated water table near the Fox River and Lake Winnebago, and it leaves many homeowners having to deal with settling foundations, bowing walls, and constant moisture issues.
At ABT Foundation Solutions, we’re proud to offer professional foundation repair in Appleton, WI, and the broader Fox Cities. Since 2002, we’ve worked with the unique circumstances of local homes and what they need to fix the root cause. This commitment has earned us a stellar reputation throughout the area and has helped us maintain an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
The Appleton area sits on very clay-rich soil and has a higher water table, usually sitting between 3 and 8 feet below the surface. The clay-rich soil holds moisture, causing really slow drainage. During heavy rainfall or snowmelt, the water has nowhere to go and builds pressure in the soil, called hydrostatic pressure. This pressure pushes against basement walls and causes serious problems like foundation walls cracking, bowed or shifting walls, and water intrusion into your home.
If your home is closer to the river or Lake Winnebago, you’ll feel these effects even more. During the winter months, the water in the soil is constantly freezing (contracting) and thawing (expanding), causing it to shift. If your home already has foundation shifting or cracks, that water can also seep into the concrete of your foundation, widening cracks and creating serious structural issues.
At ABT Foundation Solutions, we offer professional foundation repair services in Appleton that are specifically designed to address these unique local challenges.
We specialize in comprehensive foundation repair services that are designed to address various issues caused by hydrostatic pressure and foundation settling. These issues include bowing walls, wall cracks, uneven floors, and more.
We offer interior and exterior basement waterproofing services to help keep your home protected. We can install and repair interior drainage systems, sump pumps, and exterior drainage solutions.
Crawl spaces are more common under older homes, and controlling the moisture level can be difficult. Our Dry Right™ Crawl Space Solution ensures that your crawl space remains clean, dry, and protected from future damage.
Uneven settlement can affect other areas of your home like the driveway, sidewalk, or patio. We use the effective polyjacking technique to level it back out. Our method is cleaner, requires smaller drilling holes, and lasts longer.
If you want to be able to use the valuable space in your basement, egress windows are specially designed basement windows that provide improved ventilation, more natural light, and a safe exit in case of emergencies. Our experts provide code-compliant installation that meets all the necessary state regulations.
Your home’s gutters play a crucial role in protecting your roof, walls, and foundation from water damage. We provide quality gutter installation and gutter guard systems to help protect your home’s siding and foundation.
Many homeowners don’t realize they even have a foundation problem until they find water in their basement. Here are some common signs of foundation damage to be aware of:
