Foundation Repair
Cracks in your foundation walls, leaning support posts, and sloping floors are often the first signs of structural trouble. If left untreated, these issues can compromise the safety of your home and lead to costly repairs. Our team uses proven methods like steel push piers, helical piers, and crawl space jacks to permanently stabilize foundations in Middle Tennessee’s diverse soil conditions.
Whether you’re dealing with foundation settlement, bowing walls, or moisture-related deterioration, we’ll inspect your home and provide a tailored repair plan. We serve homeowners throughout the region with a focus on long-term solutions that preserve home value and peace of mind.
Basement Waterproofing
A damp or flooded basement is more than an inconvenience — it’s a threat to your foundation, air quality, and stored belongings. In Middle Tennessee, heavy rains and poor drainage can quickly turn basements into breeding grounds for mold and mildew. We install interior and exterior waterproofing systems like French drains, sump pumps, vapor barriers, and waterproof coatings to defend your home from water intrusion.
Whether your basement shows signs of water stains, musty odors, or visible leaks, we’ll identify the source and stop the problem at its root. Our waterproofing strategies are customized for each home’s layout and drainage challenges, ensuring long-lasting dryness and structural integrity.
Crawl Space Repair
If your floors feel spongy or you’ve noticed sagging or uneven areas, your crawl space could be the culprit. Damaged or rotting wood joists, mold growth, and excess moisture can all compromise your home’s structural support. In Middle Tennessee, where high humidity and heavy rainfall are common, these problems are especially persistent.
We repair failing piers, reinforce framing, and install moisture control systems to restore strength beneath your home. Our team works quickly and cleanly to shore up your crawl space without disrupting your day-to-day life, helping you maintain a stable, safe, and dry home from the ground up.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Encapsulation turns a humid, vulnerable crawl space into a sealed, conditioned environment. We install heavy-duty vapor barriers, seal vents, and add dehumidifiers to eliminate excess moisture and prevent mold, pests, and insulation damage — all common issues in Middle Tennessee homes.
Beyond protecting your foundation, encapsulation improves indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and even property value. It’s one of the smartest investments you can make if you’re seeing condensation, wood rot, or high utility bills due to crawl space conditions.
Concrete Leveling / Poly-Jacking
Sunken concrete around your home — whether it’s a sidewalk, porch, patio, or driveway — is not only unsightly, but a tripping hazard. This often occurs due to soil erosion, poor compaction, or water pooling beneath the slab. We use poly-jacking (polyurethane foam injection) to lift and level uneven concrete without the disruption of full replacement.
Our method is fast-curing, long-lasting, and ideal for the clay-heavy and shifting soils of Middle Tennessee. You’ll be able to walk or drive on the surface the same day — with results that last for years.
Framing Repair
The framing beneath your home bears the load of your entire structure. When joists rot, beams split, or support posts sink, it puts everything above at risk. You might notice sagging floors, wall cracks, or doors that won’t close properly — all signs your framing needs attention.
We reinforce and replace damaged floor joists, girders, and supports using pressure-treated materials and professional-grade hardware. Our team is trained to work efficiently in tight crawl spaces and ensure long-term load stability that meets Tennessee’s building standards.
Retaining Wall Repair
A leaning or crumbling retaining wall can quickly become a safety hazard and an eyesore. These failures often result from hydrostatic pressure, poor drainage, or inadequate footing — all common issues in Middle Tennessee’s hilly terrain.
We stabilize, rebuild, or replace retaining walls using engineered solutions that handle both load and water management. Whether it’s a block wall, timber, or poured concrete, we’ll extend the life of your wall while improving curb appeal and landscape function.
Yard Drainage Solutions
If you have standing water near your foundation, soggy lawn spots, or runoff issues after storms, poor drainage is likely to blame. Over time, this can lead to foundation settlement, mold problems, and damaged landscaping. Our yard drainage solutions are designed to move water away from your home — safely and efficiently.
We install French drains, channel drains, downspout extensions, and grading corrections tailored to your property’s needs. With Middle Tennessee’s fluctuating rainfall patterns, these systems can be the difference between a dry home and a recurring headache.
Lifetime Transferrable Warranty
Most of our foundation repair and waterproofing services come with a lifetime transferable warranty, ensuring the investment in your home now will pay dividends later. Ask your service representative for more information.
