When a foundation begins to shift, settle, or crack, it can cause structural problems throughout the home. For homeowners in Juniata County, Pennsylvania, this often means sloping floors, jammed doors, cracks in drywall, and water intrusion in basements. The longer these signs are ignored, the more expensive and dangerous the damage becomes.
At '58 Foundations & Waterproofing, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing foundation issues caused by the soil and weather conditions unique to central Pennsylvania. Whether your home is experiencing bowing walls, sinking footers, or moisture entering through cracks, our certified team provides permanent repair solutions backed by more than 65 years of experience.
Much of Juniata County sits on expansive soils that shrink and swell depending on moisture levels. During periods of heavy rainfall, the ground around your home becomes saturated and pushes against the foundation walls. When the soil dries out, it contracts and causes the foundation to shift and settle unevenly.
Other common factors include poor drainage, clogged gutters, tree root intrusion, and construction on improperly compacted fill soil. In winter, freeze-thaw cycles can expand cracks or create frost heave beneath the slab. Over time, these forces cause structural stress that leads to cracks, movement, and compromised load-bearing capacity.
Older homes and properties built on slopes are particularly at risk, but even newer homes can develop issues without early intervention.
Early warning signs of foundation trouble are often found inside the home. Cracks along walls and ceilings, especially near windows or doors, may indicate shifting beneath the surface. Doors and windows that no longer open smoothly can be a sign of structural movement. Sloping or bouncy floors often suggest weakened supports or shifting piers.
In the basement or crawl space, look for cracks in concrete walls, bowing or leaning sections, moisture stains, or signs of efflorescence. If your home has a brick or block foundation, step cracks along the mortar joints are a common red flag. Water intrusion through cracks or seams can also signal foundation displacement.
If any of these issues are present, it is time to have your foundation inspected by a qualified contractor.
At '58 Foundations & Waterproofing, we provide a wide range of structural repair services designed to restore your foundation and protect your home for the long term. Our team uses engineered systems and industry-proven methods that address both the symptoms and the source of the problem.

When a home begins to sink due to unstable soil or shifting footers, pier systems offer the most reliable method of stabilization. At '58 Foundations & Waterproofing, we use both helical piers and push piers depending on the depth, load, and soil type beneath your foundation.
Helical piers resemble large screws and are mechanically driven into stable layers of soil. They are ideal for lighter structures or where access is limited. Push piers are hydraulically driven into deeper strata and are typically used on heavier homes or buildings with more severe settlement.
Both systems are designed to support the foundation from below, halting further movement and, in many cases, restoring the structure to its original level. Piers are especially effective in areas like Juniata County, where seasonal soil changes make surface-level repairs insufficient.
Pier installation is typically completed with minimal disruption to the home and provides a permanent solution to one of the most serious forms of foundation failure.
Foundation repair costs vary based on the severity of the issue, the size of the home, and the type of solution required. Minor crack repairs or bracing can cost a few thousand dollars, while pier installations or full wall reinforcements are more complex investments.
At '58 Foundations & Waterproofing, we offer free inspections and transparent pricing. One of our certified specialists will evaluate your foundation and provide a detailed explanation of the recommended repair plan and associated cost. There are no hidden fees or pressure tactics—just honest guidance from a trusted local company.
