Is Your Foundation Moving? Here's What to Do First

If you've just found a new crack or a door that suddenly sticks, don't panic, and don't ignore it either. Take a photo of the crack with a coin or tape measure beside it for scale, and note the date. Check whether nearby doors and windows open and close normally. Then call us for a free inspection. Foundation movement is almost always slow, so you have time to make a good decision. But the longer settlement goes on, the bigger and more expensive the repair usually becomes.

Signs You Need Foundation Repair

Cracks in brick, block or drywall

Stair-step cracks in exterior brick, diagonal cracks running from the corners of doors and windows, and cracks that reopen after you patch them all point to movement.

Doors and windows that stick or won't latch

When part of a house settles, door frames twist out of square. Gaps at the top of a door, or a latch that no longer lines up, are classic early signs.

Sloping or uneven floors

A marble that rolls across the room, or furniture that rocks, can mean a settling slab or failing supports under a pier-and-beam floor.

Gaps at trim, ceilings or chimneys

Separation where walls meet ceilings, baseboards pulling away from the floor, or a chimney leaning away from the house are signs worth checking.

Bowing or cracked foundation walls

Horizontal cracks or inward bowing in block or poured basement walls usually come from soil pressure, and they shouldn't wait.

If you're seeing two or more of these signs, it's time for a professional look.

Our Foundation Repair Methods

Steel push piers

Steel piers are driven through unstable clay down to load-bearing rock or dense soil. Then the house is supported on the piers, and lifted back toward level where that's possible. This is the most common fix for a settling corner or wall on a slab or perimeter foundation.

Helical piers

Helical piers are screwed into the ground like a giant anchor. They suit lighter structures, porches, additions, and spots where push piers can't get enough resistance. Because rock depth varies across Rutherford County's limestone, we sometimes use both types on one home.

Foundation crack repair

Non-structural cracks in poured concrete can be sealed with epoxy or polyurethane injection to stop water and pests. Structural cracks get sealed too, but only after the movement behind them is stabilized.

Pier-and-beam leveling

For homes on piers and beams, we replace failing supports, add new piers, shim or replace beams, and re-level the floor system.

Drainage correction

Gutters, downspout extensions, regrading and surface drains keep water away from the foundation. On some homes this is the whole repair. On others it protects the pier work we just installed.

Foundation Repair FAQs

Can my house be lifted back to perfectly level?

Often it can be lifted close to its original position. But a house that's been settled for years may have framing and drywall that "set" in place, so we lift carefully to avoid new damage, and we explain what to expect beforehand.

Will I need to leave during the repair?

Almost never. Most pier work is done from outside. We'll let you know if any interior access is needed.

How long does a pier repair last?

Piers installed to load-bearing strata are designed to be a permanent fix for the area they support. Keeping water managed around the house helps protect the rest of the foundation.

Does homeowners insurance pay for foundation repair?

Usually not when the cause is normal soil settlement, but it can be covered when a sudden event, like a burst plumbing line, caused the damage. Check your policy and ask your agent.
