Local to Buffalo

We connect property owners in Buffalo and nearby areas, including North Buffalo, South Buffalo, Elmwood Village, Allentown, Amherst and Cheektowaga, with one independent local foundation repair specialist.

Buffalo and its suburbs share the same hard conditions for basements. The frost runs deep, with about 53 freeze-thaw cycles in an average year. Snow melts in big rushes. The soil is clay from an old lake bed. Each town adds its own twist. The city has century-old stone walls. The first suburbs have 1950s block. Here is what the crews we connect you with see in each area.

North Buffalo, NY

About 60 percent of North Buffalo homes were built in 1939 or earlier. Many have old block or stone basement walls with no working drain tile. Spring seepage and sideways wall cracks are common calls here.

South Buffalo, NY

Cazenovia Creek runs through South Buffalo, and ice jams have flooded its basements before. In 1984, the National Weather Service reported hundreds of basements here with a foot or more of water.

Elmwood Village, NY

Most Elmwood homes went up between the 1880s and 1910s. The area is on the National Register of Historic Places. Its century-old stone and brick foundations often need new mortar and an inside drain.

Allentown, NY

Allentown is one of the oldest 19th century neighborhoods in the city. It is also one of the largest historic home districts in the country. Its old stone foundations need care that suits soft historic mortar.

Amherst, NY

A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers study counted 1,095 Amherst homeowners who pulled a foundation repair permit or asked the town about damage since 1987. Most damage was north of Main Street. There, lake-bed clay pushes basement walls in.

Cheektowaga, NY

Much of Cheektowaga was built in the 1950s building boom. So many homes have block basement walls about 70 years old. Ellicott Creek floods have put Aero Drive under water, and the ground here gets very wet in a thaw.

Tonawanda, NY

Ellicott Creek enters the Town of Tonawanda at Ellicott Creek Park. The Army Corps built a flood control project along the creek in Amherst and Tonawanda. Homes near the creek deal with high water in heavy thaws.

Kenmore, NY

Kenmore was laid out in 1888 as one of the area's first planned suburbs. In 1924 alone, the village issued 787 building permits. Its Victorian homes and Craftsman bungalows sit on foundations close to 100 years old.

West Seneca, NY

Ice jams on Cazenovia Creek have flooded West Seneca basements more than once. Homes near Parkside and Willowdale Drives were evacuated in one flood. Basements near Southgate Plaza flooded in another. Sump pumps and inside drains are common fixes here.

Lackawanna, NY

Lackawanna grew up around the steel plant that opened on the Lake Erie shore in 1903. The city formed in 1909. Many homes date from those early steel years and have older block and stone basements.

Orchard Park, NY

Orchard Park got about 77 inches of snow in the November 2022 lake-effect storm. When snow like that melts, the soil around basements fills fast. Spring leaks and wall pressure follow.

Hamburg, NY

Hamburg got more than 3 feet of snow in the November 2022 lake-effect storm. Heavy melts like that soak the soil around foundations. They test every crack and sump pump.
