Foundation Repair Surrey, BC

Most homeowners don’t think about their foundation—until the signs become too obvious to ignore. A small vertical crack shows up in the drywall. The basement feels a little damp after heavy rain. A door that used to swing shut now sticks just enough to be annoying. These little issues don’t always scream ‘foundation problem,’ but they’re often early warnings that something’s shifting below your home.

At Ossum Concrete Lifters, we specialize in foundation solutions for homes across the Lower Mainland—especially in areas where poor drainage or soft soils can cause settling. Whether you’re in Fleetwood, Clayton, or South Surrey, we’re here to make sure your home stays level, dry, and structurally sound.

Why Foundation Repair Can’t Wait

The area’s clay-rich soil expands dramatically when wet and shrinks when dry, creating constant pressure on your home’s structure. This seasonal movement, combined with rapid development changing drainage patterns, means every day you wait:

The cost of delay:

• Clay soil movement causes progressive structural damage
• Seasonal expansion cycles worsen existing cracks
• Your property value drops in this competitive market
• Repair costs increase by 10-15% annually
• New home warranties may be voided by delayed repairs
