How It Works — From Violation to Compliance
Our Great Kills Process – Lawn- and Family-First
Most foundation repair and replacement Great Kills projects are completed in 5–14 days with zero family relocation.
The Problems We Fix on Every Street in Great Kills
- Horizontal cracks and bowing basement walls from expansive blue clay pressure
- Garages and additions sinking 6–12 inches away from the main house
- Kitchen and living-room floors sloping toward the backyard
- Water in the basement every time it rains on Amboy Road or Hylan Boulevard
- Diagonal cracks above windows and garage doors
- Tree roots lifting driveways, sidewalks, and pushing against footings
- Differential settlement on filled ground near the harbor
We’ve corrected every one of these from Eltingville to Bay Terrace, Giffords Lane to Eagan Avenue, and everywhere in between.
Great Kills is classic Staten Island living: 1950s–1980s ranch, hi-ranch, and colonial homes on generous lots, plus a growing number of newer two-families and waterfront properties near Great Kills Harbor. Under every driveway and backyard is the same notorious blue clay that expands when wet and contracts when dry, combined with shallow footings, high groundwater, and decades of tree-root pressure. The result is the phone call we get every week: cracked garage slabs, sloping kitchen floors, bowing basement walls, sinking front stoops, water in the basement after every rain, and ECB violations that can stop a closing or cost a homeowner thousands.
Protect Your Great Kills Home Before the Next Rainy Season
A small crack today can become a $90,000+ emergency after the next heavy storm. One quick inspection gives you peace of mind for decades.
