Basement Foundation Repair in Connecticut
A basement foundation is a type of foundation that is built below ground level. Most foundations are sunk into the ground, but what distinguishes a basement foundation from other types of foundations is that it is deep enough to provide space for a living area. If you have a basement, your basement foundation walls are most likely made from cinder block, stone, brick, or poured concrete. Each of these materials can cause potential problems. Your basement may be susceptible to excess moisture, bowing walls, cracks, and other damages.
Most basement damage is caused by water problems. If you have poor drainage or too much soil around your home, you may have experienced a wet basement. Water can seep into your home if you have overflowing gutters, short downspouts, or over saturated soil that creates pressure around your basement foundation walls. The best way to keep your home safe and dry is to keep moisture away from it. An exterior drainage system will help you do this.

What Our Customers Say
For years, my mother in law experienced cracks/gaps in her ceiling, and noticed that her floor started to pitch. Steve from Residential ResQ came over and immediately diagnosed the problem. Her house was sinking! She found Steve to be extremely knowledgeable, hardworking, and very pleasant. His explanations and proposal were clear and comprehensive. He started (and finished) on time, and he followed up at the end of the job to be sure she was satisfied. Most important, there were some unexpected challenges with her lot (another foundation buried beneath her home, unknown to her), that he dealt with professionally and efficiently. She highly recommends Residential ResQ.

The piers holding the back of our vacation home were cracked and sinking and we were looking at both a structural and safety disaster. Steve did an accurate and thorough job “diagnosing” our problem, gave us a timely and detailed estimate of the purposed work to be done providing answers to all our questions. He and his team started the work when they said they would, kept us informed along the way and did a great job reconstructing our foundation. I would highly recommend Steve and his team because of them we will hopefully enjoy our home for many more years!

Hatch way, Bulkhead whatever you call it Residential ResQ dug the old one out every piece of it and put a brand new one in. New floor, new walls, new steps, new basement door and new outer door. They really worked hard and completed this task in 3 days. They are very professional and they kept the work site picked up and safe. Thanks Steven and crew for a great job.
Rochelle Oakley
I had a great experience with this company! The quote was straightforward and clearly laid out and there weren't any unexpected additional costs that popped up. Steve also clearly explained what he was doing and why. Also, they didn't try to up-sell me on additional items/work I didn't need. Additionally, they cleaned up after they were done, so my basement looked great and I now have straighter floors and stairs! Strongly recommend!

Residential ResQ and Steve, specifically, were awesome to work with. I got a bonkers quote and ultimately bad information from a big name competitor and I called Steve to ask a few questions. He knew exactly what my crawlspace needed and completed the job way past my expectation for a very fair price. Steve and his team were professional, reliable, kind and extremely knowledgeable. He was able to explain everything clearly so I understood the entire scope of the job. I'll be calling them again for other repairs that will come up in this old house!
