Boise Foothills Homes Cracking: Prevention & Drainage

Fully Licensed

DEQ Compliant

Homes in the Boise Foothills offer amazing views, but they come with geotechnical risks. As gravity pulls the soil downhill, "slope creep" can crack foundations.

Water is the Lubricant

Slope movement is accelerated by water. When the soil becomes saturated, friction decreases, and the hill slides. Controlling drainage with deep French drains and hillside stabilization is critical for Foothills homeowners.

Warning Signs

Look for diagonal cracks above windows, doors that stick only in winter, or vertical cracks in your foundation wall. Currently, we offer specialized Foothills evaluations.
