Cornerstone is based in Jeffersonville — less than five minutes from most of New Albany. We work in New Albany regularly and understand the specific foundation and drainage challenges that come with Floyd County's soil conditions and the older housing stock in much of the city.
New Albany has a significant number of homes built in the mid-20th century with block and poured concrete foundations that are now showing their age. Bowing block walls, horizontal cracking, and chronic basement moisture are common throughout neighborhoods like East Spring Street, Fairmont, and the historic downtown corridor.
We serve all of New Albany and the surrounding Floyd County area. If you've been getting quotes from Louisville-based companies, consider a local crew — we're closer, we know the area, and we stand behind our work with a transferable lifetime warranty on waterproofing.

Foundation Challenges Specific to New Albany
New Albany's proximity to the Ohio River means some areas deal with a high water table that puts persistent lateral pressure on basement walls — especially after heavy rainfall events or during spring thaw. The older neighborhoods north of Spring Street are particularly prone to block wall movement as mortar ages and soil saturation increases.
Floyd County shares Southern Indiana's clay-heavy soil profile, which means the same seasonal expansion and contraction driving foundation movement in Jeffersonville affects New Albany homes just as much. Homes with inadequate downspout extensions and flat or reverse-graded lots are especially vulnerable — water that should be moving away from the house is pooling against it instead.
We've worked in New Albany on everything from historic downtown homes with stone foundations to 1970s ranch construction with block basements. The problems are consistent; the solutions are specific to each home.
