What a great job! I was very pleased with the Mount Valley experience from the professional visit with Ed Moore (Mount Valley consultant) to the expeditious completion of the repair of my home...Restored to where I couldn't locate where the cracked mortar had been.

Improper Grading
Many homes are built on back-filled soils, which is a common and accepted building practice. However, care must be taken to properly compact the back fill before construction of the foundation. Improperly compacted back fill will slowly consolidate, sometimes over a period of years, which will allow foundation settlement.
Many homeowners wonder if their builder is responsible for poor grading / compaction. While there may be instances in which homeowners are able to hold the builder responsible, it's often difficult to ascertain whether foundation settlement is a result improper compaction, poor drainage, or some other cause.
Whatever the cause may be, it's important to choose a permanent solution, which Mount Valley offers.
