Foundation Repair
Protect Your Foundation with Allmaster Home Services
Local foundations face some harsh conditions: clay soils that swell when saturated, freeze-thaw cycles that stress concrete, and yards that sometimes drain water toward the house rather than away from it. When you combine all of that with an older structure sitting on top, it’s easy to see why so many homes eventually start to shift or crack.
At Allmaster Home Services, this is what we handle every day. Our job is to show you what’s going on and what to do next so that you can move forward with confidence. We take the time to explain things in plain terms, look at the whole picture, and design repairs that fit your property rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all system.
Red Flags That Point To Foundation Trouble
Most people call us because something changed and they can’t figure out why. Some signs are obvious, but most are subtle. During an inspection, we’ll walk you through what each symptom might mean and how we can fix it.
Common clues include:
Cracks above windows and doorways
Doors or windows that drag or won’t latch
Floors that feel uneven or noticeably slope
Stair-step cracking in block or brick
A basement wall that appears to lean or bulge
Moisture coming in through cracks or along the floor joint
It’s also common for structural and moisture concerns to show up at the same time. That’s why we also look at drainage patterns, gutters, grading, and the foundation during your appointment. Everything works together, so your repair plan should too.
The Tools & Techniques Behind Our Repairs
Because every house behaves a little differently, we use a range of repair methods. We recommend solutions that will actually stabilize your base and help prevent further displacement.
When a basement wall starts bowing or shows horizontal cracks, it’s reacting to outside soil pressure. To help stop additional inward movement, we install carbon fiber straps or steel I-beams, depending on the wall type and degree of displacement.
Peace of Mind That Comes With a Stable Foundation
A strong foundation supports everything above it, so addressing weak points early can help avoid additional headaches. Once repairs are complete, homeowners often notice:
Fewer recurring cracks and alignment issues
A more secure feeling throughout the house
Better inspection results when it’s time to sell
Greater moisture control when paired with drainage upgrades
All work is backed by warranties and supported by a company that’s been helping Maryland homeowners for more than three decades.
From Inspection to Completion: How We Work
“Foundation repair” can sound intimidating, but when you break it into steps, it’s much easier to understand. Here’s how we approach every project:
Structural Inspection & Diagnosis
We’ll start with a free, no-pressure inspection. A trained specialist will inspect your interior and exterior walls, review the basement or crawlspace supports, and note anything that stands out.
We’ll also talk through the history of your house, recent changes, and any past moisture concerns. Photos and measurements help document what we see.
Custom Repair Plan
Once we understand what’s causing the problem, we’ll design a plan that fits your particular home. Soil conditions, materials, access, additions, and age all play a role. We won’t push unnecessary work, and we’ll always give you realistic choices.
Professional Installation
When it’s time to begin, we show up ready to work. We’ll protect the landscaping and interior finishes, keep you updated on the timeline, and maintain a neat job site throughout the project.
Once everything’s wrapped up, we’ll review the repairs with you and answer any remaining questions. You’ll also get information about the warranty coverage tied to your project.

Very professional. The customer service was excellent and price was reasonable. John and nick were great to work with and I would highly recommend.
I’m quite happy with the improvement in energy efficiency that was achieved by installing the radiant barrier in my attic last year. Even after installing a new energy efficient heating/AC system the previous year, the AC bill was much lower than it was the year before(barrier) and my heating bill this last, long cold snowy winter was lower than it’s ever been in the thirty years I’ve lived here! Great job guys!
