Why Star Homes Need Foundation Experts Who Understand Ada County

Star, Idaho has grown from a small agricultural community to one of the fastest-growing cities in the state — with population jumping from 11,466 in 2020 to over 18,200 today. That growth means thousands of new homes built on former farmland where deep loess (wind-deposited silt) deposits were never disturbed. As these soils settle under the weight of homes and respond to Idaho's punishing freeze-thaw cycles, foundation problems are emerging across Star's newest subdivisions.

Our team works exclusively in the Treasure Valley and understands the specific soil conditions, climate patterns, and construction practices that affect Star foundations. From the loess deposits that underlie neighborhoods like Valor and Moon Valley Estates to the volcanic basalt bedrock that determines how deep piers must be driven — we know Star's ground as well as anyone in Ada County.

Did You Know?

Star grew 1,434% from 1990 to 2018 — making it the #1 fastest-growing city in Idaho. Many homes built during this boom sit on deep loess deposits that are still settling. Idaho's freeze-thaw cycles — where temperatures swing above and below freezing dozens of times each winter — are the primary driver of foundation damage in Star and throughout Ada County.

What causes foundation problems in Star, Idaho?
The primary cause of foundation damage in Star is Idaho's freeze-thaw cycles combined with the loess (wind-deposited silt) soil that underlies most of Ada County. Star's rapid growth has also placed thousands of homes on former agricultural land where deep soil deposits are still settling under structural weight.
How do I know if my Star home needs foundation repair?
Common signs include cracks in walls or ceilings, doors and windows that stick, uneven floors, gaps between walls and ceiling, and visible cracks in the foundation itself. If you notice any of these signs in your Star home, schedule a free inspection to determine the cause and recommended solution.
How long does foundation repair take in Star?
Most Star foundation repairs are completed in 1–3 days. Simple pier installations on one side of a home can be done in a single day, while more complex projects involving multiple walls or crawl space work may take 2–3 days. We minimize disruption to your daily life throughout the process.

Why is crawl space repair important in Idaho?
Idaho's cold winters create significant moisture challenges for crawl spaces. Warm air trapped in the crawl space creates condensation on cold surfaces, leading to wood rot, mold, and structural deterioration. In Star and throughout Ada County, crawl space maintenance and repair is essential for protecting your home's structural integrity.
