What We Repair
Foundation Problems We Solve
Foundation failure in our region is most often caused by expansive clay soils, seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, improper drainage, and the natural shifting of hillside terrain common throughout West Virginia and the Ohio Valley. Our certified foundation consultants are trained to identify the root cause of damage and engineer a solution that addresses the problem permanently - not just cosmetically.
Foundation Settlement & Sinking
When soil beneath your foundation loses bearing capacity - whether from erosion, dryness, or excess moisture - your foundation can sink unevenly, causing cracks and instability throughout the structure. Ram Jack's helical and steel push pier systems drive deep past unstable soils to reach load-bearing strata, halting settlement and often allowing for partial or full lift of the structure.
Foundation Crack Repair
Not every crack signals a crisis, but cracks left untreated invite water intrusion and worsen over time. Our team evaluates crack type, orientation, and severity to determine the appropriate repair - from carbon fiber reinforcement for bowing walls to epoxy injection for non-structural cracks.
Bowing & Leaning Walls
Hydrostatic pressure from saturated soil can push basement walls inward, creating bowing or horizontal cracking. We stabilize bowing walls using carbon fiber strap reinforcement systems from Fortress Stabilization Systems - an ICC-ES approved manufacturer - providing a permanent fix without excavation.
Crawl Space Foundation Issues
Crawl space foundations are especially vulnerable to moisture-driven wood rot and beam deterioration in our region's climate. We address structural crawl space failures with pier installations, sistered beams, and column supports to restore load-bearing capacity.
Our Solutions
Ram Jack Foundation Repair Systems
Helical Piers
Ram Jack is the only foundation repair company in the industry that manufactures, installs, and warranties its own helical piers. These screw-shaped steel piles are driven into the earth and advanced to load-bearing soil or bedrock. Because West Virginia's terrain includes rocky, uneven subsurface conditions, helical piers are a particularly effective solution for our region. Helical piers can be installed in confined spaces with minimal disruption to your landscaping or living area.

Confined-space install
Steel Push Piers
Where soil conditions and structural loads favor a driven approach, Ram Jack's steel push piers provide exceptional bearing capacity.
Each pier is driven hydraulically until it reaches resistance adequate to support the load above. Push piers carry an ICC-ES certification and are backed by Ram Jack's limited lifetime transferable warranty.

Carbon Fiber Reinforcement
For bowing or cracked foundation walls, carbon fiber straps offer a high-strength, low-profile solution. The carbon fiber material used by Ram Jack is manufactured by Fortress Stabilization Systems and carries ICC-ES approval and a lifetime warranty. Straps are bonded to the wall surface and cannot be seen once finished, making this a popular choice in finished basements.
