Why DeKalb foundations move

DeKalb sits on the heavy clay soils common across DeKalb County. That clay swells when it rains and shrinks in dry spells, and the constant movement is hard on foundations.

Add Chicago freeze-thaw winters and older basements built decades ago, and you get the cracks, settlement, and seepage we see across town every week. We have repaired these homes for over 45 years.
