Foundation repair in Mariemont, OH

The century-old poured walls under Mariemont's planned-village housing were built to a lower-strength concrete standard than current practice, so age-related cracking from ordinary curing and shrinkage is common and has to be distinguished from active settlement or lateral movement before a repair method is chosen. Because the historic district restricts exterior work, interior stabilization methods like carbon fiber strapping or wall anchors are generally preferred over an exterior excavation and underpinning approach. Where piers are needed, access has to route around the uniform lot layout and shared setbacks the planned village imposed on every property.
