The Problems We Fix Constantly in Williamsburg
- Sudden corner drops in converted factories because the wood piles finally gave out
- Leaning front walls on 100-year-old row houses from sandy soil washout
- Sloping loft floors that send furniture sliding toward the windows
- Chronic basement flooding every time it rains on North 6th
- Wide stair-step cracks from L-train vibration and adjacent construction
- Collapsing sidewalk vaults under food-truck and bike traffic
We’ve corrected every one of these on Bedford, Berry, Driggs, Wythe, and every side street in between.
Williamsburg has transformed from industrial waterfront to one of Brooklyn’s most sought-after neighborhoods, but the ground beneath hasn’t changed much in 150 years. Old factory buildings on rotted timber piles, 19th-century wood-frame row houses, early 20th-century brick six-flats, and brand-new condo towers all share the same soft, sandy soil and extremely high water table. Add constant L-train vibration, heavy delivery trucks, and the endless wave of new construction next door, and settlement, cracking, and flooding become part of life.
