Foundation repair & house leveling
Bring the low side back up.
Cracked walls, sloping floors, doors that won’t close. Liftech checks how far your house has moved and lays out a plan to bring it back to level.
Know the signs
Your house tells you when it’s moving
One of these on its own may be nothing. Several at once, or ones that keep getting worse, are a good reason to have it checked.
Doors that stick or swing open
Doors that rub at the top, won’t latch, or drift open on their own.
Cracks in drywall
Diagonal cracks running from the corners of doors and windows.
Sloping floors
A room that feels like it leans, or floors that dip in one area.
Stair-step cracks outside
Brick or block cracking along the mortar lines in a step pattern.
Gaps at trim and baseboards
Space opening up where walls, floors, and trim used to meet tight.
Windows that bind
Windows that are suddenly hard to open, close, or lock.
What leveling means
From settled to level
When part of a house settles lower than the rest, the frame twists with it. Bringing the low side back up is what lets doors, floors, and walls line up again.

Our process
Five steps, from first look to final check
You see the measurements and agree to the plan before any lifting starts.
- 1
Inspect
Walk the house with you and look at what you have noticed.
- 2
Measure
Record how far the house sits from level, room by room.
- 3
Explain
Go over the findings in plain language.
- 4
Plan
Lay out the repair. Nothing starts until you approve it.
- 5
Lift & recheck
Raise the low side, then measure and test the doors again.
Questions
Straight answers to common questions
Does a crack mean my foundation is failing?
Not necessarily. Small hairline cracks are common in many houses. Cracks that widen, come back after repair, or appear with sticking doors and sloping floors deserve a closer look.
What do you look at first?
The things you have already noticed: the doors, floors, walls, and outside cracks that made you call. Then we take measurements to see the whole picture.
Why measure before picking a fix?
Two houses with the same crack can need different work. Measuring first shows where your house has moved and how far, so the plan fits your house.
What should I have ready?
Dated photos of any cracks, a list of doors or windows that stick, and any paperwork from earlier repairs. Nothing else needs to be prepared.
