Living in Northeast Missouri and Southern Iowa offers a great quality of life, but the region’s expansive soil can create serious challenges for homeowners. These clay-heavy soils expand as they absorb moisture and shrink during dry conditions, causing constant ground movement beneath your home. Over time, this cycle can lead to foundation settling, wall cracking, bowing basement walls, and uneven or sinking floors.
At Foundation Restoration, we understand how expansive soil affects foundations in this region. As an authorized dealer for Grip-Tite, we use engineered foundation repair and stabilization systems designed to permanently address soil-related movement. Catching foundation problems early—and repairing them with proven, engineered solutions—can save homeowners thousands of dollars and help prevent more serious structural damage down the road.
Foundation Wall Anchors
The Grip-Tite® Foundation Wall Anchor System utilizes proven engineering methods to secure and stabilize deteriorating basement walls. Bowed, cracked or leaning basement walls are a sign that something is going very wrong with the structural integrity of your property
Wall Support Beams
Our wall straightener products are designed to address issues with bowed, cracked, or leaning basement walls, providing a permanent solution that supports and repairs compromised structures while restoring their integrity. This system is installed directly against the foundation wall. Its all-in-one design sets it apart
Crawl Space Stabilizers
Crawl space stabilizers are a reliable solution for sagging floor joists and unsupported beams within a crawl space. If a home has been affected by foundation settlement or damage and has a crawl space beneath, this could be the perfect solution. A crawl space is susceptible to just as much damage as the rest of the house and should be inspected regularly.
Exterior and Interior waterproofing systems
Exterior waterproofing stops water before it reaches your foundation by sealing the outside walls with a waterproof membrane and directing groundwater away through proper drainage.
Interior waterproofing manages water that enters the foundation by channeling it behind a dimpled membrane and into an interior drain or sump system to keep basements dry
Exterior Grading and Drainage
Proper exterior drainage starts with correctly graded soil that slopes away from the foundation, preventing water from pooling near the home. When combined with downspout extensions and drainage systems that carry water safely away, proper grading helps reduce hydrostatic pressure and protect the foundation from water intrusion
Basement & Crawl Space moisture mangement
Moisture management systems help control water and humidity in basements and crawl spaces using sump pumps, dehumidifiers, and crawl space vapor barriers installed over the soil to reduce ground moisture, protect structural components, and improve overall air quality
Carbon Fiber Wall Reinforcement
Carbon fiber straps are bonded to foundation walls to stabilize cracks and prevent further movement, providing strong, low-profile reinforcement without reducing usable space.
Concrete Crack Repair
Concrete crack repair seals foundation wall cracks using professional-grade caulking materials to stop water intrusion and help prevent further deterioration of the concrete.
