Foundation issues in Salem homes
Salem has a long-established housing stock, from older homes near downtown and Roanoke College to mid-century neighborhoods with block basements. Block walls are prone to horizontal and stair-step cracking when wet clay soil pushes against them, and homes near the river and in low spots can have higher water tables and wet basements. Hillside lots on the edges of the city send runoff toward foundations during heavy rain. Many Salem foundation jobs combine wall stabilization with gutter, downspout and grading improvements, because keeping water away is what keeps the repair working.
