From the stone-foundation homes along Main Street to the newer subdivisions off Princeton Pike, we handle cracks, bowing walls, settlement, and wet basements — and give you an honest read on what your foundation needs.
Lawrenceville has one of the widest ranges of housing in the county. Walk down Main Street through the historic village and you're passing colonial-era and Victorian homes near the Lawrenceville School, many of them on stone or early brick foundations. Head out toward Route 1 and Princeton Pike and you're in subdivisions built decades later on poured concrete.
Those two worlds have different problems. Old stone foundations tend to lose mortar, take on water, and bow under long years of soil pressure. Newer homes on graded fill are more likely to settle unevenly if the ground under them wasn't fully compacted. Both are common here, and both need the repair matched to how the wall was built.
We're comfortable on either end — repointing and reinforcing a century-old stone wall, or setting steel piers under a settling 1990s colonial. Either way you get a plain-language read and a written plan before anything starts.
Seal and reinforce cracks in stone, block, and poured walls.
