04Why Homeowners Call Us

Built for Scranton's older houses.

A lot of homes around here were built during the coal years and sit on stone or block foundations that have carried a century of freeze and thaw. That history changes how a repair should be done, and it's the kind of thing the contractors we connect you with account for before picking a method.

  • Diagnosis before a sale.Sometimes the honest answer is that a crack is cosmetic and can wait — and you'll hear that straight.
  • The method fits the wall.Stone, block, and poured concrete each move differently. The contractor matches the method to the wall instead of forcing one fix onto all of them.
  • Local and accountable.Every contractor we connect you with works in the valley and is licensed and insured for the work they quote.

06Common Questions

Questions we hear a lot.

Are foundation inspections really free?

Yes. The local contractor we connect you with comes out, measures what's happening, and gives you a written assessment with photos at no cost and no obligation. You only pay if you decide to move ahead with a repair.

How do I know if a crack is serious?

Thin vertical hairlines are usually shrinkage and cosmetic. Horizontal cracks, stair-step cracks in block, cracks wider than about a quarter inch, or ones that keep growing are the ones worth an inspection. When in doubt, send us a photo and we'll help you get it looked at.

Can you help with older Scranton homes that have stone or block foundations?

Yes. Much of the housing stock around Scranton and Lackawanna County dates to the coal era and sits on rubble stone or concrete block. The licensed local contractors we connect you with repair and stabilize both, and match the method to how the wall was built.

Is mine subsidence the same as foundation settlement?

No. Settlement is the soil under your footing compressing or washing out. Mine subsidence is the ground sinking because of old underground coal mines, which is a known risk in parts of Northeastern Pennsylvania. The contractor we connect you with can tell you which one you appear to be dealing with, and point you to the state's mine subsidence insurance program if that's the concern.

How much does foundation repair cost?

It depends on the cause, the method, and how much of the wall is affected — sealing a single crack is a small job, while piering a settled corner is a larger one. The contractor gives you a written, itemized price after the inspection, and you approve it before any work starts.

What areas do you serve?

Scranton and the surrounding Lackawanna County towns, including Dunmore, Clarks Summit, Dickson City, Taylor, Moosic, and Carbondale.
