ADDRESSING STRUCTURAL AND MOISTURE PROBLEMS BELOW GRADE
Foundation issues in Mid Michigan often show up as cracks in basement walls, doors that no longer close squarely, or water seeping through the block or poured concrete after heavy rain.
These problems develop when the soil beneath or around the foundation shifts due to poor drainage, freeze-thaw cycles, or settlement over time.
Older homes in the area are especially prone to these issues, with foundations built before modern waterproofing standards or on inadequately compacted fill.
Addressing the problem requires excavation around the affected area to expose the foundation wall and allow repairs that stabilize the structure and prevent further water intrusion.
L&L Excavating provides foundation repair services focused on excavation and site work that supports structural and moisture solutions. The work includes digging safely around existing foundations, removing soil to expose the full height of the wall, and coordinating with foundation specialists who handle waterproofing, crack sealing, and stabilization measures.
The excavation process is careful and measured, especially near corners and utility penetrations where damage to gas lines, water services, or electrical conduit can create costly delays.
