How It Works — From Violation to Compliance
Our Flatbush-Friendly Process
Most foundation repair and replacement Flatbush jobs are completed in 5–14 days with zero need for tenants or families to move out.
The Foundation Problems We See on Almost Every Block in Flatbush
- Horizontal and stair-step cracks in basement block or poured-concrete walls
- Front porches and stoops sinking and separating from the house
- Parlor floors that slope noticeably toward the backyard
- Water in the basement every time it rains on Church Avenue
- Bowed walls from expansive clay soil pressure
- Diagonal cracks above doors and windows on upper floors
- Tree roots lifting sidewalks and pushing against footings
We’ve corrected every one of these from Prospect Park South to East Flatbush and everywhere in between.
Flatbush is Brooklyn at its best: grand Victorian single-family houses, solid pre-war six-story co-ops, limestone row houses, and a growing number of newer two- and three-family homes. Underneath them all is the same challenging mix of heavy clay soil, high groundwater, and shallow 80- to 120-year-old footings that were never designed for today’s loads. When spring rains come, the clay swells; in summer it shrinks. The result? Cracked basement walls, sloping parlor floors, sticking doors, sinking front steps, and DOB/ECB violations that can turn into five- and six-figure nightmares.
