Our Bay Ridge Process – Clean, Fast, Neighbor-Friendly
Most foundation repair and replacement Bay Ridge projects are completed in 4–12 days with zero tenant relocation.
The Problems We See on Almost Every Block in Bay Ridge
- Horizontal cracks in poured-concrete or block basement walls
- Front stoops sinking and pulling away from the house
- Sloping floors that run toward the back yard
- Water in the basement every spring and after heavy rain
- Diagonal cracks above windows and doors on the first floor
- Bowed walls from expansive clay soil pressure
- Tree-root lifting of sidewalks and foundation footings
We’ve fixed every one of these on 70th through 92nd Street, Shore Road, Ridge Boulevard, and the side streets in between.
Bay Ridge is built on pride: tree-lined blocks of limestone and brick one- and two-family houses, solid six-story co-ops from the 1920s and 30s, and a growing number of newer condos along the waterfront. Underneath those beautiful façades, though, the neighborhood sits on a mix of clay soil, sand, and fill that expands when wet and shrinks when dry. Add 80- to 100-year-old shallow footings, mature maple and oak roots, and decades of groundwater movement, and the result is cracked walls, sloping floors, sticking doors, and sometimes emergency violations.
