Foundation repair in Stoney Creek.
From Old Town below the escarpment to the new streets along Rymal Road, we repair, underpin and build foundations across Stoney Creek. Our own crew, quoted in writing.
Below the escarpment and above it.
Stoney Creek is really two places. The lower city, between the lake and the escarpment, grew mostly in the 1970s and 1980s around Old Town. Upper Stoney Creek, on the mountain, grew through the 1990s and 2000s and is still growing, much of it along the Rymal Road corridor. Stoney Creek as a whole added about 7,000 people between 2016 and 2021.
Those eras bring different jobs. Block foundations from the 1970s and 1980s are now old enough to bow, crack in a stair-step pattern or let a corner settle. Newer homes up top are more likely to show settlement cracks or sinking garage and porch footings, or to need a foundation for an addition or a walkout on a sloped lot.
The ground varies a lot. The escarpment exposes red and grey shale at the Devil's Punchbowl, and the Eramosa Karst on the mountain has caves and sinkholes where water has dissolved the bedrock. We check what's under your lot, and how water moves across it, before we dig.
