For any homeowner with a sinking & settling foundation, it's essential to understand its cause. That is why Kefficient is here to help with some of the most common reasons why your foundation is sinking in Richmond:Poor Soil QualityThe primary cause of a sinking & settling foundation is the makeup of the soil beneath it. There are many scenarios for poor soil support underneath a house, ranking from excessive moisture to particular soil types that are not conducive to supporting the weight of the home over time.Soil ErosionFoundation issues don't happen overnight; it takes years of constant abuse for problems to appear. For many homes, poor drainage causes water to build up and, in this case – erode the soil supporting your foundation, causing it to sink. View AllPoor ConstructionThe final possible cause of a sinking foundation is improper construction of the foundation. This is more common in older homes built during times of lax regulations and ignorance of more robust building techniques.

View All Reviews Write a Review Scott 2023-12-12 Amazing experience working with Kefficient & their team member such as Daniel for insulating my attic. Job very well done! I would definitely recommend Kefficient to anybody needing their provided services. Sandi Weeks 2023-12-11 We were beyond surprised when our 6 month old home developed mold in the crawl space. A friend had recommended Mark Keffer and KEFFICIENT. We could not have asked for a more professional team to walk us through the process. The work was completed in a timely manner…actually sooner than promised. The team performing the encapsulation of the crawl space was excellent and completed the work in less than a week. We would not hesitate to recommend KEFFICIENT for your crawl space issues. Cindy Jennings 2023-11-30 From our initial contact with Kefficient, to evaluation of our needs for repair with Brad, through the repair process with Mark, the service was exceptional. Communication was strong throughout the process, the installers were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The finished project was exactly as promised, as well as billing. I strongly recommend their services. Danisha Wright 2023-11-27 I am very satisfied with the work Kefficient recently did on my home. Brad came out and assessed my property. He was very kind and professional and explained everything to me. He followed up with me several times and provided the best customer service. Eddie and his crew completed the project with ease and proficiency. They were absolutely amazing and kind. They showed professionalism at all times and the project was completed on time and it looked great. I highly recommend the Kefficient team for your household mold restoration needs. Enrique Miranda 2023-11-21 Excellent crew, explained all work performed to the fullest details and job site was clean like they were never here. Shirley Banes 2023-11-21 I cannot say enough good about my experience with Kefficient. They did a wonderful job on my project starting with the first visit from Brad. He was very professional and informative about my crawl space problem and found mold that a previous company failed to find and notify me. Eddie’s crew did a super job and were very hard working. At the end of each day everything was cleaned up. Mark the owner was here almost every day with updates and to answer any questions or concerns I might have. This is a very honest and hard-working company that I fully trust for not cutting corners but doing an exceptional job. They cleaned up mold and encapsulation my crawl space including a sunk pump and a dehumidifier and two new crawl space doors. Jordan Mills 2023-11-10 They care about doing good quality work. I had a moldy crawlspace needing lots of attention. The team at Kefficient made sure to follow through without cutting corners. Give them a call if you want a contractor who cares. Jody White 2023-11-10 Really impressed with the communication from Kefficient. Everyone was courteous and professional. They resolved issues promptly. I would highly recommend them! Rick Kizer 2023-11-08 Darryl and his crew did an outstanding job encapsulating our crawlspace - I highly recommend Kefficient! Whitney Jackson 2023-11-02 We used Kefficient for mold remediation and basement crawl space encapsulation. They are one of the few companies that we have used for house projects that consistently communicated about the progress of job (we are so grateful for this). Super professional, thorough and tidy.
