Al and his crew are top notch. I've had Omega out several times to do work for me, and each time they did a great job. They rebuilt my chimney, and inserted two liners into it. When the collar around the chimney started cracking and was still under warranty, they immediately came out and put on a new one, no questions asked. Al is great at keeping the lines of communication open, and he is easy to work with. Their workmanship is top notch--I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. I highly recommend Omega!!
Omega has been great to work with. We had a very stubborn leak in our roof which they have been able to fix. We particularly appreciate the warranty and their promise to stand by their work. Great to work with Omega!
Had a great experience with Omega. We had a few spots where an old addition was leaking water, and Al came out and gave a thorough inspection. We had a flat garage roof replaced, but they also fixed a "laundry list" of various odd jobs to seal up the house and prevent water damage at another spot where the wood was getting soaked. Very happy with the quick work they did and our house is definitely better off. Glad they were so thorough and did not just address one aspect of the problem.
Foundation Repair FAQs
Have questions about foundation repair? Below are answers to some of the most common concerns we hear from Ann Arbor homeowners.
How do I know if my foundation problem is serious?
Foundation problems can range from minor to severe, but certain warning signs indicate a more serious issue. If you notice large or widening cracks, bowed or leaning basement walls, water intrusion, uneven floors, or doors and windows that stick, your foundation may be experiencing structural stress. In Ann Arbor and throughout Washtenaw County, soil movement and freeze–thaw cycles can cause foundation issues to worsen over time. A professional foundation inspection is the best way to determine the severity of the problem and prevent costly damage.
Can foundation cracks be repaired permanently?
Yes! Many foundation cracks can be repaired permanently, depending on the cause and type of crack. Structural cracks caused by settlement or wall movement typically require reinforcement or stabilization systems, while non-structural cracks may be sealed to prevent moisture intrusion. The key to a permanent repair is addressing the underlying cause, not just the visible crack. Professional foundation repair solutions are designed to restore strength, stop water infiltration, and prevent future movement.
Do foundation repairs increase home value?
Foundation repairs can protect and even increase your home’s value by restoring structural integrity and preventing future damage. Unrepaired foundation issues often reduce a home’s value significantly and can make selling difficult. By addressing foundation problems early, homeowners in Ann Arbor can improve safety, extend the life of their home, and provide peace of mind to future buyers. Properly documented foundation repairs are often viewed as a positive investment rather than a liability.
How long does foundation repair take?
The timeline for foundation repair depends on the type and extent of the damage. Many foundation repairs can be completed in one to three days, while more complex structural repairs or waterproofing systems may take longer. After an inspection, a professional contractor can provide a clear timeline based on your home’s specific conditions. Most repairs are completed with minimal disruption to daily life.
Are foundation repairs safe for older homes in Ann Arbor?
Yes, foundation repairs are generally safe and effective for older homes when performed by experienced professionals. Many homes in Ann Arbor were built decades ago and require repair methods that respect original construction materials and design. Modern foundation repair techniques are designed to stabilize and reinforce existing structures without causing unnecessary disruption, helping preserve the integrity and character of older homes while improving long-term safety and stability.
How do I know which foundation repair solution is right for my home?
The right foundation repair solution depends on the type of damage, the cause of the problem, and your home’s construction. A professional foundation inspection can identify issues such as cracks, wall movement, or settlement and recommend a repair approach tailored to your home’s specific conditions, soil type, and structural needs.
