Foundation repair starts with the signs you see inside the house. A crack runs up the drywall from a door corner, or a door stops latching. Floors start to slope, or a block wall shows a stair-step crack. Hukill's repairs settling foundations with push piers and helical piers, and our crews stabilize walls that bow or lean.
The work reaches under the floor too. We repair wet crawl spaces and waterproof basements that leak at ground level. Sometimes the water comes from a hidden water line leak, and that gets found and fixed first. We handle foundation repair in Medford and across Jackson and Josephine Counties.
Tell us about the clog, leak, septic tank, water damage or remodel and where it is. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
A foundation can move from water, age, the soil or the way the house was built. Around here, the soil and the weather work together. USDA soil descriptions for two Jackson County clays, the Coker and Carney series, say they crack open in summer. The cracks close again in winter as the clay swells.
The weather drives that cycle. Most of Medford's rain falls from November through March, and July and August are nearly dry. Clay that swells and shrinks each year can move a footing or a slab. A downspout that empties against the wall softens the soil under the footing too.
The ground can also shake. The State of Oregon says the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the coast can produce a magnitude 9 earthquake. Oregon adopted its first statewide building code in 1974. The Construction Contractors Board says homes built before then take the worst damage in a serious quake.
Push piers are sections of steel pipe driven down under the footing. Hydraulic jacks press them into the ground against the weight of the house. They go down until they reach soil firm enough to carry the load. Brackets then move the weight of the wall onto the piers.
Helical piers are steel shafts with screw-shaped plates near the tip. A hydraulic motor turns them into the soil like a screw. Because they screw in, they can carry a footing before the house is built. That is why we also set helical piers ahead of new construction.
Wall stabilization holds a foundation or basement wall that bows or leans from soil pressure outside. Exterior pier work starts with digging beside the footing. Oregon law says anyone who digs must contact 811 at least two business days first. Hukill's also offers excavation services for trenching and backfill.
Crawl spaces hide problems that reach into the house, like a musty smell or a soft spot in the floor. Crawl space repair deals with the moisture and the framing it has damaged. A vapor barrier over the bare soil holds back ground moisture. Encapsulation goes further and seals the ground and walls under a heavy liner.
Water that collects needs a way out. Sump pump installation puts a pit at the low point, and the pump sends the water away from the house. Drainage systems carry water to that pit. If mold has started on the joists, mold remediation comes before the space is sealed.
Damp walls and a musty smell are signs a basement may need waterproofing. Interior perimeter drains catch water along the footing and carry it to a sump pump. We also install window well drains and repair cracks in basement floors. A basement that already flooded needs water extraction and drying first.

Got our water heater changed out this evening and the whole process was smooth. From setting up an appointment, communication, and the service. Marcos our technician that installed the water heater was great and made sure we got everything we needed in a timely manner. Recommend hukills to anyone looking for a quick or detailed repair!
Brandon and Colton did an outstanding job fixing our clogged sinks. They arrived within three hours of our call, were professional and courteous, and quickly diagnosed and resolved the issue. They explained everything clearly and left the work area clean when they were finished. We really appreciated their prompt response and excellent service. I highly recommend Hukill's to anyone looking for reliable, efficient plumbers.
After we had our septic tank pumped by Tristan this morning and then Brandon,Kayden and "G" the excavator operator came out to do an septic line investigation. I was very appreciative of them explaining and answering all my questions. I would definitely request them to help us again. Thank you all for all your hard work.
