Protecting Your Home from Foundation Cracks & Basement Seepage Since 1956

Hiring a foundation repair or seepage contractor isn’t like hiring a painter or plumber — the results may not be truly tested for years. Since 1956, McCoy Contractors has watched more than 120 competitors come and go, while we’ve stood behind our work through every freeze, thaw, and storm.

Before choosing a contractor, every homeowner should ask four key questions — and decide which matters most.

1. What’s really being done to fix the problem?

Not all foundation repairs are equal. Some companies install different types of drain tile, others rely on temporary patches or sealants. Many of these options sound convincing, but unless you understand the root cause of the seepage or movement, you may only be treating the symptom. Make sure your contractor explains why the problem occurred and how their solution prevents it from returning.

2. When should the work be done?

Timing is often the easiest part to control. While some companies may push for a quick sale, the truth is: there’s rarely a need to panic. A damp basement won’t collapse overnight. Take time to understand your options and schedule the work when it makes sense for your budget and your home.

3. How much will it cost?

It’s natural to compare prices — but when it comes to foundation or seepage repair, “cheap” can be the most expensive choice. Over one in five of our projects involve fixing failed repairs from other contractors. Quality work saves you from paying twice. The right solution isn’t the cheapest one — it’s the one that lasts.

4. Who will you trust with your home?

Your home’s foundation is too important to gamble on. Choose a company with a proven record, transparent process, and clear communication. At McCoy, we’ve built our reputation on honesty, experience, and results that stand the test of time.
