Excellent work from Queen Foundation Repair! From beginning to end, the crew operated with efficiency and professionalism. Carlos and his team completed the foundation repair project in less than four days, and even our neighbors have complimented the immediate transformation. I highly recommend them for foundation work, foundation repair, and water restoration.

Hi, I had some cracks in my foundation after purchasing my new home and was concerned about them. Queen Foundation Repair made everything a very easy and stress-free process. They came out and repaired these cracks within a day, and the crew, including Dario and Sharon, was very knowledgeable. Thanks very much!

I cannot say enough about these guys — they were a pleasure to work with. Sharon, who was extremely knowledgeable, handled the scheduling, and Carlos and Dario did the assessment and repair of the foundation issues we were having. They answered every question we had, showed up exactly when they said they would, and back all of their work with a lifetime guarantee. Your search for a foundation repair company is over!

I'm very pleased with the results. I can clearly see the excellent work Jason's crew did on our crawl space. His team was friendly and left the property clean. This is the first time I've posted a review because I think people should know about them. Call them when you need crawl space repairs in Albany NY!

The customer care provided by Queen Foundation repair was exceptional. From the first contact to the final walkthrough, they were attentive, informative, and very responsive to my questions and concerns. They took the time to explain the encapsulation process and how it would benefit my home. Their crew was respectful and ensured that the work was completed to a high standard. It's clear that they value their customers and take pride in their work. Our crawl space is now dry, clean, and well-insulated. Highly recommended!

I'm absolutely delighted with the exceptional assessment service provided by Queen Foundation Repair! When I noticed sloping floors in our bungalow, I knew I needed expert help. Scheduling an assessment was a breeze via email, and John arrived promptly as scheduled. His warm and personable demeanor put me at ease, and his expertise shone through as he quickly identified the root cause of our issue.

I reached out to this company about an issue they couldn't handle, but they were very responsive. They did a thorough inspection and gave recommendations related to their specialty. They even provided a reference number for another company that could help with our issue. They're great for foundation repair work, and I'd definitely recommend them.

Germao and his crew installed helical piers and expertly stabilized our foundation. The crew was professional and responsive to our needs. I'm happy with their foundation repair service.

Foundation & Waterproofing Solutions That Fix the Problem — Not Just the Symptom

The clay soil under most homes here expands when wet and contracts when dry. That cycle cracks walls, pushes water in, and shifts foundations. These are the services that stop it.

Cracked foundation showing signs of structural damage

Foundation Repair

Settling foundations show up as cracked walls, stuck doors, and uneven floors. We stabilize the structure with pier systems that reach past unstable soil to solid ground — stopping the movement for good.

Standing water in basement requiring waterproofing

Basement Waterproofing

Water pushing through basement walls after rain is the most common call we get. We install interior drainage that captures water at the wall-floor joint and routes it out before it ever reaches your floor.

Steel crawl space jack posts installed on concrete footings

Crawl Space Repair

A failing crawl space causes sagging floors, moisture damage, and air quality problems throughout the house. We repair structural supports and damaged joists to restore stability from underneath.

Crawl space with vapor barrier encapsulation installed

Crawl Space Encapsulation

An open crawl space pulls moisture, mold, and pests straight into your home. We seal it with a heavy-duty vapor barrier and dehumidifier — cutting off the source.

Sump pump in a basement pit

Sump Pump Installation

A sump pump is your last line of defense against a flooded basement. We install reliable systems with battery backup so water gets pumped out even when the power goes down during a storm.

French drain system installed along foundation

French Drain Installation

French drains collect water along your foundation walls and move it to the sump pit before it hits your basement floor. This is the core of most waterproofing systems we install.

Most foundation companies in this market say the same things. Here is what we actually do differently.

Why Homeowners Here Trust Queen

Most foundation companies in this market say the same things. Here is what we actually do differently.

We Tell You When You Don't Need Repair

Not every crack is structural. Not every damp spot means your basement needs a full drainage system. During the inspection, if something doesn't need repair, we say so. That honesty is the fastest way to earn trust — and it is the reason homeowners refer us to their neighbors. We would rather lose a sale than sell you something you don't need.

We Fix What Caused the Damage

Sealing a crack without addressing the pressure behind it just means another crack opens somewhere else. The clay soil here swells with every rain and contracts between storms. That cycle is what cracks your walls and pushes water in. We address the source — whether that is relieving hydrostatic pressure with drainage, reinforcing a wall that is bowing from soil expansion, or stabilizing a footing that has settled. The goal is a repair you never have to think about again.

Written Warranty on Every Job

Every repair comes with a written warranty that spells out what is covered. Not a handshake. Not a vague promise. A specific document. If the problem comes back, we come back. That is the standard — and anything less should raise a red flag.

Foundation Repair Questions We Hear Most

If your question is not listed here, call and ask. We would rather answer it now than have you guess.

The soil under most homes in this area is glacial clay. It absorbs water and expands, then dries out and shrinks. That constant movement pushes against basement walls, opens cracks, and forces water through gaps that didn't exist when the house was built. Add freeze-thaw cycles every winter and over a third of the housing stock built before 1940, and you have foundations that are under pressure from every direction.

Vertical hairline cracks are common and often cosmetic. Horizontal cracks, stair-step cracks along mortar joints, and walls that are visibly leaning are different — those are signs of soil pressure pushing the wall inward. If doors are sticking, floors feel uneven, or water comes in after rain, something is moving. A free inspection tells you exactly what you are dealing with.

Foundation problems do not stabilize on their own. A crack that leaks today gets wider next winter. A wall that has bowed half an inch keeps moving. The longer you wait, the more involved the repair becomes. Early-stage fixes are simpler and less expensive. Waiting turns a manageable repair into a major project.

Usually not. Standard policies in Ohio cover sudden damage like a burst pipe — not settling, soil pressure, or water seeping through walls over time. Flood insurance is a separate policy and may cover some storm damage, but not the waterproofing system itself. Check with your carrier, but most homeowners pay out of pocket. Financing is available to help.

It depends on the scope. A crack injection can be done in a few hours. A full interior waterproofing system with a French drain and sump pump usually takes two to three days. Wall anchors or pier installation typically takes one to two days. You will know the timeline before any work starts.

Yes. We work throughout Summit County and the surrounding area — including Cuyahoga Falls, Barberton, Tallmadge, Stow, Fairlawn, Green, Hudson, Norton, Kent, and Wadsworth. If your area is not listed, we may still be able to help — call to find out.
