FAQs
What are the most common causes of foundation cracks in Clinton and how do you fix them?
In Clinton, the leading causes are expansive clay soils, freeze–thaw cycles, poor drainage, and gutter systems that dump water near the footing. We start with a thorough inspection to identify whether the crack is merely cosmetic or a structural threat. Hairline surface cracks are sealed with an elastomeric masonry caulk to keep moisture out. Wider or leaking cracks are pressure-injected with polyurethane or epoxy, which bonds the wall back together and restores structural integrity. Where movement is ongoing, we may install carbon-fiber straps or steel helical piers to stabilize the foundation. All repairs conclude with grading or gutter adjustments to keep water away from the wall so the problem does not return.
How can I tell if my roof needs full replacement or just spot repairs?
Look for shingles that are curling, missing, or losing large amounts of granules; daylight showing through the attic decking; sagging roof planes; or widespread water stains on interior ceilings. If damage is confined to one side or a small area, a repair is often sufficient and more cost-effective. However, if the roof is 20+ years old, has multiple leaks, or shows deck rot, a full replacement usually makes more sense and comes with longer warranties. Our free assessment includes attic and drone inspections so you receive an objective recommendation and itemized estimate for either option.
Why are properly working gutters so important to both my roof and foundation?
Gutters capture thousands of gallons of rainwater that would otherwise cascade over roof edges, eroding soil and saturating the foundation. Without them, water backs up under shingles, shortening roof life, and infiltrates basement walls, widening existing cracks. Seamless aluminum or steel gutters fitted with correctly pitched downspouts move water at least 6 ft away from the home, protecting shingles, siding, masonry, and landscaping. Adding gutter guards also keeps debris out, minimizing the risk of overflows that can trigger costly structural repairs.
How long will each project take—foundation crack repair, roof replacement, and gutter installation?
• Foundation crack injection: 2–6 hours for a single vertical crack; one day if we are stabilizing multiple cracks or installing carbon-fiber straps. • Complete asphalt shingle roof replacement on an average 2,000 sq ft home: 1–3 days, including tear-off, deck repairs, underlayment, new flashing, and site cleanup. • Seamless gutter replacement (including downspouts and guards): 4–6 hours, often scheduled the day after roofing so the gutter apron is properly integrated. We’ll provide a detailed timeline before work starts and keep you informed of weather-related changes.
Do I need permits or inspections for these repairs in Clinton?
Yes. The City of Clinton Building & Neighborhood Services Department requires permits for structural foundation work, roof replacements that exceed 25 % of the roof area, and for installing new gutter systems when attached to fascia. We handle all permit applications, schedule the mandatory mid-roof and final inspections, and supply you with copies of inspection cards for your records. This ensures the work meets current International Residential Code (IRC) and local amendments for wind and snow loads.
What warranties and maintenance support do you provide after the job is finished?
• Foundation crack repairs: Lifetime transferable warranty against water seepage on polyurethane/epoxy injections and carbon-fiber straps. • Roofing: 25–50-year manufacturer’s material warranty (depending on shingle selected) plus a 10-year workmanship warranty from our company. • Gutters: 20-year material warranty on aluminum/steel and 5-year workmanship coverage; gutter guards carry a clog-free guarantee. After completion, you receive a maintenance checklist covering seasonal roof inspections, gutter cleaning schedules, and yard grading tips. We also offer annual maintenance plans that include a spring roof & gutter tune-up and a fall foundation/drainage check at a discounted rate.
