Foundation 1 focuses on three core repair categories:

- Deep foundation solutions – pier and beam, slab jack, or underpinning for larger structural problems.
- Water‑damage mitigation – waterproofing, drainage, and sump pump installation to prevent future foundation issues.
How the Repair Process Works
The repair workflow follows a five‑step approach that keeps homeowners informed and ensures compliance with Missouri building codes.
1. Initial Consultation
Prospects schedule a free site visit. Engineers assess the damage, take photographs, and generate a preliminary estimate.
2. Detailed Inspection
Foundation 1's licensed inspector conducts a comprehensive evaluation, including soil testing and structural analysis.
3. Repair Proposal
A written proposal outlines scope, materials, labor, timeline, and cost. The client signs the agreement before work begins.
4. Execution and Oversight
Contractors perform the repair. The company monitors progress, conducts quality checks, and coordinates with local inspectors for compliance.
5. Final Inspection & Warranty
Upon completion, a final inspection confirms the repair meets all standards. Foundation 1 offers a 2‑year warranty on workmanship and materials.
