What do New Middletown homeowners ask most?
Are shrinkage cracks serious?
Usually not structural, but they can leak and are often sealed with injection.
How do I stop runoff?
Grading, swales and downspout extensions.
Can bowing walls be fixed?
Yes, with straps, beams or anchors depending on movement.
Why does my township basement leak only in spring?
Snowmelt and spring rain raise groundwater and saturate slow-draining soil. Interior drainage with a sump, plus steering surface water away, usually handles it.
