Your Mars home faces specific foundation challenges that demand immediate attention and expert solutions. The combination of Butler County’s clay-heavy soil, Pennsylvania’s four-season climate, and the area’s mix of older and newer construction creates foundation problems that generic repair companies often miss. At Matthews Wall Anchor, we’ve spent over 35 years understanding how Mars area geological and weather conditions affect home foundations, and we’ve developed targeted solutions that address these local challenges head-on. We’ll get you out of the fix you are in with reliable repairs that stand the test of time.

Foundation issues in Mars typically develop from three main sources: soil movement, water infiltration, and structural settling. The area’s expansive clay soil creates constant pressure changes against foundation walls as it expands when wet and shrinks when dry. Heavy rainfall and snowmelt, combined with inadequate drainage around many properties, leads to water seepage and basement flooding. Additionally, the natural settling that occurs in both historic homes and newer construction can cause cracks, uneven floors, and structural instability. These problems don’t improve on their own—they require professional intervention to prevent costly damage to your most important investment.
