Commercial Foundation Repair in Ohio and West Virginia

Matthews Wall Anchor & Waterproofing has been performing commercial foundation repair in Pennsylvania for over 30 years. We also serve West Virginia and Ohio for commercial foundation repair.

Foundation problems in Ohio and West Virginia are very common due to many reasons.

Some of the causes of foundation damage are:

• Expansive soils – The soil in Ohio and West Virginia is expansive soil which means that as the soil gets wet, it will heave and when it is dry, it will shrink. This shifting of the soil causes the foundation above it to also shift and settle.
• Inadequate drainage – If the property doesn’t have adequate drainage away from the building, it will have foundation issues.
• Plumbing leaks – Water that leaks from pipes beneath the foundation will cause serious damage to the foundation.
• Poor ground preparation – If the ground soil is not properly compacted beneath the foundation will cause foundation problems.
• Poor building site preparation – The soil needs to be stabilized before a structure is built. Without proper stabilization, the soil will shift and move below the foundation.
• Evaporation – Excessive drought will cause the soil to pull away from the foundation.

All of these issues can cause foundation failure in West Virginia and Ohio. There are some signs that you can look for in and around your commercial building in West Virginia and Ohio that may indicate that you have a foundation problem. Some of these signs are:

• Bowing or leaning walls
• Wall cracks
• Ceiling cracks
• Floor cracks
• Leaning chimney
• Doors and windows that stick
• Sinking/settling garage

If you notice any of these signs of foundation failure, it is important to have a professional come and inspect your commercial business or residence to see if you are in need of foundation repair. Matthews Wall Anchor & Waterproofing will give you a free inspection and offer the best solution for your foundation repair.

Commercial Foundation Repair Solutions in West Virginia and Ohio

Matthews Wall Anchor & Waterproofing has many products and solutions for foundation repair in West Virginia and Ohio. We use underpinning products such as steel push piers and helical piers that are driven deep into the soil through the unstable soil layers until they reach a more solid soil layer. After each pier is load tested, the entire weight of the structure is lifted onto the piers to lift and stabilize the foundation.

For bowing or leaning walls, we use helical tiebacks and plate anchors to pull the wall back to its original level. These helical tiebacks and plate anchors also strengthen the wall so that the wall won’t bend or bow in the future. Plate anchors and helical tiebacks consist of an inside wall plate, an outside wall plate, an outside anchor, and a high strength rod tying them together.

All of the products we use for commercial foundation repair in West Virginia and Ohio are manufactured by Earth Contact Products (ECP), the leader in foundation repair and basement waterproofing products in the industry.
