Reach Topeka Foundation Co. at (785) 264-6109 (calls are taken any time) or send the form below. A local specialist who covers Topeka and the nine surrounding communities calls you back to set a time; ask then whether the evaluation carries a charge.
What to have ready
It speeds things up if you can say roughly when you first noticed the problem, whether it changes with the seasons, and whether the basement walls are block or poured concrete. Photos help enormously: a wide shot of the wall plus a close-up with something for scale beside the crack. None of it is required; everything gets measured on site regardless.
If something is actively moving
A basement wall visibly leaning, a horizontal crack that opened suddenly, shearing where the wall meets the sill or the floor, or a floor that dropped noticeably in a short time deserves a phone call rather than a form. Say so on the phone, and ask whether to stay out of that part of the basement until someone has looked.
