Fort Wayne's century-old housing stock — concentrated in West Central, Lakeside, and the near-downtown neighborhoods — requires preservation-aware methods that newer-build contractors don't carry. We carry both historic and modern.
Stone, limestone, original brick — we use methods that preserve, not replace.
We protect original woodwork, plaster, and landscaping. No tearing-up to fix the basement.
Reports formatted for historic-district commission approvals where required.
Old work costs more per hour than new construction. We say so upfront.
Foundation problems aren't uniform across Fort Wayne — each neighborhood has its own pattern.
1915 brick four-square with a 3/8-inch horizontal crack along 16 feet of the north basement wall, plus seepage every spring. We installed 8 carbon-fiber straps tied into the floor joists, then ran interior drain tile to a battery-backup sump. Three-day job, $9,800 all-in.

"They didn't try to sell me on full exterior excavation like the last company. Showed me the wall, explained why carbon fiber would work, gave me a written estimate. Crew was respectful of an old house — that matters in West Central."
Yes — a good share of our Fort Wayne work is on stone or block foundations from the 1900s–1940s in neighborhoods like West Central, Lakeside, and Williams Woodland Park. Tuckpointing, interior parging, and drain tile are usually involved. We avoid exterior excavation on these because it disturbs the original construction.
Fort Wayne sits at the confluence of the St. Marys and St. Joseph rivers, which join to form the Maumee. That three-rivers geography keeps the local water table high, especially in spring — which is why so many older basements near the rivers seep at the cove joint. Interior drain tile to a sump is the standard fix.
Same-day for active flooding, especially in the 46805, 46806, and 46807 ZIPs near the rivers where we route crews daily. Standard inspection slots open within 24–48 hours.
