Frequently Asked Questions

At Spartan Ram Jack, we understand that foundation, basement, and concrete issues can be stressful. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive from homeowners and business owners across Missouri and Kansas. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to contact us directly.

What are the common signs that my foundation needs repair?

The most common signs of foundation problems include cracks in interior or exterior walls, doors and windows that stick or no longer close properly, sloping or uneven floors, and visible gaps around trim or at the foundation line. You may also notice cracks in your chimney, drywall separation at corners, or water intrusion in the basement. If caught early, many foundation issues can be stabilized permanently before they lead to more expensive damage. We always recommend scheduling a free evaluation if you notice any of these warning signs so our experts can determine the root cause and recommend the best solution.

Helical piles are steel shafts with helical plates that are mechanically screwed deep into stable soil layers beneath the foundation. Once they reach load-bearing soil, heavy-duty steel brackets are attached to transfer the weight of the structure onto the piles. This method provides immediate stabilization and can often be completed with minimal disruption to your property. Because helical piles are installed with torque monitoring and engineered load testing, they offer a highly reliable, permanent solution. Spartan Ram Jack uses only American-made Ram Jack helical piles backed by extensive patents and ICC-ES certification.
Helical piles are screwed into the ground, making them ideal for areas with limited access, sensitive soils, or where minimal vibration is preferred (such as near historic homes or occupied commercial buildings). Driven piles are hammered deep into the soil and work exceptionally well in certain soil conditions that require deeper penetration for heavy structural loads. Both systems are extremely durable, but the best choice depends on your soil report, structure type, and site conditions. Our team evaluates each property individually to recommend the most effective and cost-efficient solution.
Most residential foundation repair jobs are completed in 1 to 3 days, while larger or more complex commercial projects may take 3 to 7 days. Because we use experienced in-house crews and advanced equipment, we work efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards. The exact timeline depends on the size of the structure, soil conditions, and the extent of the repair needed. We always strive to minimize disruption to your daily life or business operations.
Yes, we offer comprehensive interior and exterior basement waterproofing solutions. This includes French drain systems, sump pump installations, wall crack injection, and full exterior excavation and waterproofing when needed. Our goal is not only to stop active leaks but to prevent future water intrusion that can damage foundations and create mold issues. Many customers combine waterproofing with wall stabilization for a complete, long-term solution.
Concrete lifting, also known as polyjacking, is a modern method of raising and leveling sunken concrete slabs by injecting a high-density polyurethane foam underneath. The foam expands to lift the concrete back to its original position and hardens quickly, providing strong, long-lasting support. This technique is much faster, cleaner, and more affordable than mudjacking or concrete replacement. It works great for driveways, sidewalks, patios, warehouse floors, and commercial loading docks.
We address crawl space issues by first correcting any structural support problems, then installing proper ventilation, vapor barriers, and encapsulation systems when appropriate. In cases of excessive moisture or poor structural integrity, we may recommend crawl space encapsulation, sump pumps, or additional support beams and piers. Our solutions focus on eliminating moisture, improving air quality, and preventing mold while stabilizing the structure above.
We provide some of the strongest warranties in the industry. Many of our foundation stabilization repairs are backed by a transferable Life-of-Structure limited warranty. This means the warranty stays with the property if you decide to sell. Warranties vary slightly by product and repair type, but all are designed to give you long-term peace of mind. We stand behind our work because we use proven Ram Jack systems and experienced crews.
