"HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Despite a rainy 2014 spring, Sal & his crew came through with flying colors. Sal knows his business well and is easy to work with and competitively priced. He replaced an existing long asphalt driveway, garage floor (a real mess that did not drain properly) and a long curved front sidewalk. The garage floor now drains perfectly and the driveway and front walk look fabulous. Sal employs the latest technology to ensure proper drainage & it works. Not only was Sal great to work with but the crew was super as well. They did a great job and the cleanup was perfect. Does not get any better than Lacaria Cement!"

"Very honest and professional. When they discovered the job they were originally going to do wasn't going to fix the problem they advised me what I should do and were able to schedule the job for 5 days later. It was completed in 1 day and they cleaned up everything and then advised me when I should complete the rest of the job."

"I had the crawl space on my 1946 house encapsulated (+ lots of foundation repairs/structural improvements) in Dec 2021. The FSM crew exceeded my expectations. Crew leader (Anthony B) and his team (Jordan F, Tim Q) were professional, friendly, organized, knowledgeable. They worked hard from 8am-6pm with one short break. They cleaned up perfectly, informed me in detail of everything they were doing, were patient with my numerous questions. I would recommend FSM, and especially this crew, without reservations."

"I met Mike, after interviewing several other contractors to relieve the must smell in my 100 year old house. There was water on the floor after it rained or snowed. Mike's process was best, and he didn't try to over sell me as the others did. His crew was very good, neat, clean, and courteous. I decided to wait a few months to write the review so I could honestly attest to the workmanship. It has rained, and snowed within this time, and my basement is DRY. There is no water on the floor or walls. The process worked! I am really satisfied, completely! From Carrie in Detroit, Michigan"

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is a foundation in a house?

Where is a foundation in a house?
A house’s foundation is always located under the house itself. A foundation is the load-bearing portion of a home and is usually built below ground, though different types are built at different locations under a home. For instance, a basement foundation is built at least eight feet deep into the ground under the house to create living space below the ground level of the home. A crawl space foundation is built under a shallow trench beneath your home—typically between two and five feet deep. A slab foundation, also known as a monolithic or monoslab foundation, simply lays flat against the ground under your home. Pier and beam foundations also rest on the ground, but elevate the home using piers, typically about two feet off the ground.
What are the types of foundations for homes?
+
What are the types of foundations for homes?
- Basement Foundations: Also called a full basement foundation or a daylight basement, a basement foundation is one of the most popular types of foundations. One of the appeals of a basement foundation is that it offers additional living space under the home. A daylight basement typically includes windows to let natural light into the space. This type of foundation allows for homeowners to maximize the footprint of their home by offering a finished living space.
- Concrete Slab Foundations: Also called a slab, monolithic, or monoslab foundation, this type of foundation is essentially a poured concrete slab that rests on the ground under your home. It’s typically one single piece and is relatively easy and inexpensive to build.
- Crawlspace Foundations: This type of foundation provides just enough space under a home for a person to crawl around in to access plumbing or wiring, or store equipment such as a furnace.
- Wood Foundations: These types of foundations are less common, though they were a popular choice in the mid 20th-Century. A wood foundation is typically made of pest and mold-resistant wood, like cedar or redwood. They are easy to install, though they aren’t as long-lasting as concrete foundations. Wood foundations are not ideal for climates that see a lot of rain and snow, as they must be built on very dry soil.
- Pier and Beam Foundations: These foundations, which are common in coastal areas, use piers and beams to lift a house off the ground. Also known as pier and post or pier and pile foundations, the aim of pier and beam foundations is to support a home that is built on sand or soil that is prone to flooding, erosion, or ground shifts. A structural engineer needs to oversee the building of a pier and beam foundation to ensure its structural integrity.
How much does a foundation repair cost?
+
How much does a foundation repair cost?
The typical cost to repair a foundation is between $2,200 and $7,500, though most homeowners pay around $4,800. The price of a foundation repair depends on the extent of damage. Major repairs that require the use of hydraulic piers can cost $10,000 or more, while minor cracks can run as low as $500. Fixing a leaky foundation by sealing it costs between $2,300 and $7,300.
What is the strongest foundation for a house?
+
What is the strongest foundation for a house?
Concrete foundations that are reinforced with steel plinth and beams are considered to be the strongest type of foundation—especially on lots with loose or muddy soil. This type of foundation uses a reinforced concrete beam built between the wall and the foundation. Homes built in areas that are prone to flooding or earthquakes also benefit from a foundation that contains steel plinth and beams.
