NORTHERN VERMONT CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

FOUNDATION
REPAIR

Diagnose the cause — then fix it at its source. Foundation repairs for Northern Vermont homes and properties, for every type of foundation.

THE SERVICE

A FOUNDATION PROBLEM, PROPERLY DIAGNOSED

A settling, cracking, or deflecting foundation is a serious issue — and one that needs a contractor who understands both the structural and the drainage factors behind it. Dark Horse Construction repairs all types of foundations for Northern Vermont homes and properties, including wood, concrete, and block foundations. We also perform the excavation needed for both foundation repair and new foundations, and we work alongside engineers and licensed subcontractors to diagnose the cause and execute a repair that lasts.

OUR APPROACH

FIX THE CAUSE, NOT THE SYMPTOM

Foundation failures rarely have a single cause. We start by exposing the full wall assembly so the underlying issue — drainage, hydrostatic pressure, or structural deflection — is visible and addressed at its source.

Repairs are then installed per engineered design, with proper compaction, waterproofing, and drainage so the same problem doesn't return. As a general contractor, we can coordinate the trades a complete repair requires under a single point of contact.
