Foundation repair across Pittsburgh and Allegheny County

From the city's hillside row houses to the South Hills, the North Hills, the eastern suburbs and out to Cranberry and Moon, we cover the Pittsburgh metro within roughly twenty miles of downtown.

Brick and frame neighborhoods covering steep wooded hills above a river crossed by gold-painted steel truss bridges

In the city of Pittsburgh

Roughly 304,000 people live in the city itself, and its neighborhoods hold some of the oldest foundations in the region: stone and rubble walls under brick row houses, frame houses built into slopes so steep the front door is a flight of city steps above the street, and early poured and block basements from the streetcar era. We work in all of them.

The city's hills are the common thread. On the South Side Slopes, in Lawrenceville, Polish Hill, Greenfield, Brookline, Beechview and Mount Washington, the uphill wall of a house often carries far more soil and water than the others. Older homes in Squirrel Hill, Highland Park and the East End tend to have deep, damp stone basements. Wherever you are, structural permits go through the City's Department of Permits, Licenses, and Inspections, which we handle.
