Warning signs
When a Kittery foundation needs help.
What we look for on coastal and inland homes.
Coast
Storm scour
Storms can wash soil from around coastal foundations. Exposed footings or settling after a storm need attention.
Masonry
Failing stone and block
Old walls that bulge, crack or lose mortar are moving and need repair or replacement.
Inside
Uneven floors
Sloping floors and sticking doors usually point to settlement.
Kittery foundations
The right foundation for each lot.
Kittery has been building since the 1600s, so foundations here range from old stone under Foreside homes to modern concrete inland. Near the water, flood rules often decide what a new foundation must look like.
We repair what can be saved and replace what cannot, lifting the house when a full new foundation is needed. On the waterfront, that may mean piles or vented walls built to the flood elevation.
New footings are set below the local frost depth, and where coastal soil is soft, helical piles can carry the house instead.

FAQ
Kittery foundation questions
Can an old Foreside foundation be repaired?
Sometimes. Sound sections can be rebuilt. When the wall is failing widely, a new foundation is usually better.
Does my waterfront home need a special foundation?
If it is in a flood zone and getting major work, it may need piles or vented walls at the flood elevation. We check first.
What are helical piles?
Steel piles screwed down to load bearing soil, used where surface soil is too weak for a footing.
Do you work in Maine?
Yes. Kittery is part of our regular service area.
