Serving the same community from the same building for over 30 years. Family-owned since 1993
Griffith sits on dense clay soils that swell with rainfall, especially near Central Park and throughout the 46319 ZIP code. When rain soaks these yards, that clay presses hard on foundation walls, making them bow or lean and sometimes causing block cracks from the inside out. Foundations here also see extra movement on sloped lots, which leads to sloping floors or sticky doors over time. Add in the seasonal freeze-thaw, and many homes end up with cracks growing larger each year. Our local crews understand how these forces affect different Griffith neighborhoods. For wall stabilization and structural support personalized to your house’s soil and yard, see our full foundation repair approach.
We service every corner of Griffith—each neighborhood gets its own mix of clay soil, lot slope, and home age. Foundation challenges can switch from street to street.
Homes near Central Park in ZIP code 46319 often battle inward-bowing basement walls as clay-rich backfill expands after rain. For these block-wall cracks, we install structural supports and relieve outside soil pressure to keep foundations stable.
North of downtown, slight yard slopes add a tilt to older homes. Here, uneven settling makes floors slope and can cause sticking doors. We stabilize footings and reinforce walls to restore your home’s level base.
Along the west edge, aging homes built postwar often show step cracks in block walls as clay moves with freeze-thaw cycles. Carbon fiber wall bracing and pressure relief protect against repeat cracking.
In the south subdivisions, mix of newer builds and vintage ranches bring their own challenges—walls bow in some, while others settle unevenly. We tailor repairs for block cracks or footing movement specific to your property.

Posted on Google Vince KisalaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Met with Jim Glick on a waterproofing system in Michigan City, Indiana. Jim sat down and took the time to explain the full system with me and explained how it differed from other competitors. Very impressed with the system and feel confident it will solve the issue.Posted on Google Lauren BeaudwayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

David does a great job with explaining and also the reports given were perfect for a clear understanding of what we are dealing with as far as any water proofing needed and the current condition of the property.Posted on Google Jessica EdmondTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jim Glick came and explained everything very well. What the company covers and how their system works. He understood what I was looking for and offered me just that.Posted on Google Melanie PageTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David came out and spent 90 minutes being one of the best salesmen I've ever encountered in real life. He FIRST tells you which color on the test means mold before he tests for mold. It's the bad color. He FIRST tells you which number is acceptable for wall moisture before he places the device on the wall and gets the measurement. It's a bad measurement. He tells you the things floating in the flashlight beam is also mold, though I could have sworn those were known as dust motes. He tells you how water falls into the hole that was dug to create your home and everything is moving, just like when you stand on the beach and the water washes in and you feel yourself slowly sinking. You know what it's like to stand on a beach. He tells you with their special machine, you'll never have to dust again. He tells you have a really nice house and you've taken good care of it, praising your home and efforts, but if you trust EverDry, they can make everything great, permanently, so you don't feel like you're living in a dump. He takes photos and prints them from the trunk of his Cadillac. He measures the square footage and then pulls out a pre-made sheet and tells you the total cost to do all the things: $28,000. You don't even have water in your basement; you just want to add longevity to the current foundation. You feel like nothing about the offer is tailor made to your home because there is no itemized estimate. He lets you know that if you want financing, it's about 10% to 11% interest that compounds daily. You need to put $500 down. Your house is so tempting, he says, because he feels that if he can squeeze you in between other jobs when the crew is waiting around, they'll reduce the price. However, you have to agree that you will only get 24-48 hours' notice. You tell him you work from home and can't have noise while you're working. He continues to say you only get 24-48 hours' if you want the special deal, so you feel like he doesn't care and isn't listening. You say you need time to talk to your bank about financing, and he emphasizes that financing is financing, that you'll have to pay off the loan faster through your bank and that you should sign with him today. You tell him you're going to take a week to think about it. Uninvited, he says he'll stop by in two days. Later, you get a call from EverDry asking how David was. You are evasive and say that he said everything clearly, because he did. He was very clearly a salesman who wanted to close on a $28,000 contract after a 90-minute spiel. But we're not done yet. Two weeks later, you receive communication from EverDry asking you to confirm an appointment to go over pricing options at your home. You do not confirm the appointment, as you never made an appointment. EverDry had more invited themselves to your home. So, if that's what you're looking for as a homeowner, 5/5 stars, no notes.Posted on Google Emmanuel MelecioTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Our system treats the outside and inside at once, relieving soil and water pressure in one go. Other companies can’t match this level of protection for Griffith’s shifting clay conditions.
Our warranty stays with your house, passing to new owners automatically. There are no hidden fees—just protection that keeps your repairs covered through every sale or transfer.
Each project starts with our 20-point foundation inspection and a full written plan. No pressure, just honest advice so you can compare your options before committing.
Yes, the dense clay around Griffith holds water after storms, which causes it to expand and press against your foundation walls. This side pressure slowly pushes block walls inward or cracks older poured walls. The worse the weather or the steeper your yard, the more likely you’ll see bowing, leaning, or stair-step cracks. Our local experience means we diagnose these movement patterns and design repairs to keep your foundation secure for the long term.
Every home is different. We start by examining your cracks, checking if walls bow inward, and looking for settling spots. Projects in Griffith can last from a day for small crack repairs to several days for full wall bracing or excavation. We share an exact quote at the inspection and walk you through both the timeline and steps—no guessing or surprise fees.
Many Griffith homes from the 1960s and 70s used block walls and clay-heavy backfill, which today often results in horizontal bowing or stair-step cracks. These older walls weren’t built with modern reinforcements, so they can develop movement sooner. Our approach uses carbon fiber bracing to match these local building styles for better, longer-lasting protection.
Even a small crack can get worse quickly here. Griffith winters bring soil shrinkage, and spring rains bring swelling, which widens cracks and increases wall movement. Early repairs prevent more costly issues and future bowing. If you catch cracks early, you often save on repairs and avoid structural headaches later.
In Griffith, surface repairs like epoxy might cover up a crack but won’t stop the wall from bowing further if the soil keeps pushing. Reinforcements such as carbon fiber support systems anchor the wall itself. We recommend permanent solutions so you’re not patching the same spots every few years.
