Is it moving? Let the gauges tell you.
Crack gauges, tilt readings and repeat elevation surveys show whether a foundation is moving over time, so you repair only when it is needed.
- Duration: Months to a year
- Tools: Crack gauges, laser, level

What it is, and why it matters.
Some cracks and settlement are old and stable, and some keep moving with the seasons or a leak. A single visit cannot tell the difference, but readings over time can.
We install crack gauges, record tilt and elevations and return on a schedule, so you know whether to repair, wait or fix the cause.

Foundation Movement Monitoring: common questions
How long should I monitor a crack?
A season or a full year is common, since many cracks move with weather. Faster action is needed for fast-growing cracks.
What does a crack monitor do?
It shows the movement across a crack in small increments, so you can tell whether it is opening, closing or staying put.
How do I get a price for foundation movement monitoring?
