We use only the highest-quality products to provide long-lasting and reliable solutions.
Our foundation wall repair solutions fix bowing, leaning, and cracked walls.
Your foundation walls are critical to your home's overall stability. Over time, various factors, such as soil movement, water intrusion, or poor construction, can cause your foundation walls to bow, crack, or lean. If left unaddressed, these issues can lead to severe structural damage.
Signs that you might need foundation wall repair can include:
We offer a range of foundation wall repair solutions, including:
We can install wall anchors to help stabilize bowed and cracked walls affected by hydrostatic pressure. Wall anchors require minimal excavation and can usually be installed in a single day, unlike more invasive methods, such as complete wall replacement. The wall anchors we install are covered by a 25-year manufacturer's warranty.
Designed to strengthen basement or retaining walls, helical wall tiebacks provide support by attaching to the foundation walls and anchoring into deep, stable soil.
Our foundation pier systems safely lift and restore the stability of your home.
If your foundation is settling, sinking, or showing signs of unevenness, it could be due to soil movement beneath your home. Moisture changes, poor compaction, or weak soil often cause foundation settlement.
Signs that you might need foundation piers can include:
We provide two main types of solutions for fixing foundation problems: push piers and helical piers. Which one you need depends on your soil type and how serious your foundation issues are. Push piers are great for fixing problems when the foundation is shallow and the soil can handle a lot of weight. If your foundation issues are deeper, and the soil isn't as strong, helical piers are the better choice. Our professionals can inspect your foundation and recommend the best solution for your situation.
We use a patented helical pier system to permanently stabilize foundations by mechanically "drilling" the helical piers, also called helical piles, through the shifting soil to a stable, load-bearing strata. Our helical piers are covered by an industry-leading 25-year warranty.
An effective solution for settling foundations, steel push piers are driven deep into the soil to lift and support weak foundations. We use American-made steel piers covered by a 25-year warranty from the manufacturer.
Our foundation crack repair services stop leaks and pests while preventing further foundation damage.
Foundation cracks are usually a symptom of foundation settlement or bowing. Cracks in your foundation can lead to water infiltration, pest issues, and further structural damage. Whether the cracks are vertical, horizontal, or stair-step, it is important to address them before they worsen.
There are three primary types of foundation cracks to look for:
Crack injection is a common method used to repair foundation cracks, but its effectiveness depends on the severity and type of crack. If the crack is caused by structural damage or water damage, crack injection may not address the underlying issue. Instead, we use long-lasting solutions to support foundations and prevent further settlement and cracking. Depending on the cause of the foundation cracks, we might use underpinning, wall anchors, helical tiebacks, or a combination of these structural repair solutions to ensure that your foundation remains strong and stable.
We offer reliable solutions to lift and support sinking foundation slabs.
Due to soil movement, moisture changes, or poor compaction, slab foundations can suffer from settlement, cracking, or uneven floors. If not addressed, these issues can affect the overall structural integrity of your home.
Signs that you might need slab repair can include:
We can install helical piers and push piers to effectively lift and support a sunken slab. We install high-performance slab piers covered by a 25-year manufacturer's warranty.
Advantages of our slab piers:
Our crawl space support jacks quickly and effectively lift sagging floors back into position.
Excess moisture in crawl spaces can lead to issues such as sagging floors and structural damage. When moisture levels are too high, support beams and joists can rot, ultimately weakening the building's structure. Additionally, if the supports are spaced too far apart or the ground underneath isn't stable, it can lead to settling and uneven weight across the floor above. Issues like poor drainage, high humidity, and not properly sealing the crawl space can make these problems even worse.
Signs that you might need crawl space structural repair can include:
The patented SmartJack® system provides immediate support to sagging floors above crawl spaces and helps eliminate the bouncing or squeaking caused by inadequate support. The supplemental supports can be installed where existing column supports have failed or settled. The SmartJack system is backed by a 25-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
Benefits of the SmartJack® System:
Committed to excellence. John's Waterproofing offers exceptional service and unbeatable warranties.
We are committed to providing high-quality foundation repair solutions designed to last.

Choosing the best type of foundation repair depends on several factors, including the type of foundation, soil conditions, and the causes of the foundation problem. Signs of foundation issues include cracks in walls, floors, ceilings, doors, or windows that no longer close correctly, uneven floors, and a leaning or bowing foundation wall.
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, our professionals at John's Waterproofing can inspect your foundation and recommend the best solution for your situation.
Repairs can usually be completed without requiring you to leave your home. However, we will work with you to ensure the process is as convenient as possible. If you will need to leave your house, we will let you know before we begin the work.
