Pennsylvania Foundation ProPennsylvania

Allentown

Allentown foundation enquiries often involve Lehigh Valley soils and frost-related basement issues, with issues such as bowing basement walls, frost, drainage and older stone foundations.

Housing and foundation context

In Allentown, Lehigh Valley soils and frost-related basement issues means movement can show up as cracks, sticking doors, uneven floors or bowing basement walls — especially where drainage or moisture around the foundation has changed.

Common foundation types in the area include full basements, stone and concrete block foundations. Our crews assess soil conditions, drainage and structural movement.

Guidance and next steps

Follow building-department and geological-survey guidance where published. Photograph cracks and sticking openings, note when movement started and keep drainage clear of the foundation.

We help you request an on-site foundation assessment.
