Foundation Repair in Northern North Carolina

Your Northern North Carolina house is only as strong and stable as the foundation it was built upon. If your foundation has sustained damage such as cracks and settlement, the rest of your home will be at risk for damage as well. That is why regular inspections and repair with long-lasting solutions are important. 

Our experts at Tar Heel Basement Systems can help you. For 20 years, we have been helping homeowners throughout Northern North Carolina inspect, repair, maintain, and protect their homes and their foundations. Our service and solutions are award-winning and locally and nationally recognized as the best in the business. You can benefit from our assistance, as well.

Foundation Problems in Northern North Carolina

When your foundation is damaged, you will easily be able to spot various problem signs throughout your Northern North Carolina home. Keep an eye out for wall cracks, floor cracks, drywall nail pops, cracked bricks, cracking and leaning chimneys, bowing basement walls, uneven floors, and sticking windows and doors. Don’t panic when you see these red flags, but take note and contact Tar Heel right away to schedule a free inspection. If these issues continue, they will get worse, become more dangerous for your family to be around, and cost more to fix in the long run. 

Causes of Foundation Damage in Northern North Carolina

Most causes behind your foundation problems stem from outside forces, namely Northern North Carolina’s weather and soil conditions. The soil throughout the area is varied and includes rocky types as well as expansive clay like Cecil soil. These soils often cannot handle the copious amounts of precipitation northern and mountainous locations receive, and they can become wet and soft, allowing the foundation to settle into the unstable soil. The soil also can wash away with heavy rain, as well as shrink during particularly dry periods. When voids form due to shrinking or tree root movement, the foundation also can sink into them. Excessive hydrostatic pressure created by overly saturated expansive soil also results in cracking, inwardly moving walls. 

Foundation Repair Solutions in Northern North Carolina

Foundation repair is specific to each Northern North Carolina home and its foundation. That is why we offer a variety of foundation repair solutions to address several issues faced by homes in the area. To address foundation settlement by permanently stabilizing and potentially lifting the foundation, we will use pier systems such as helical piers, push piers, or slab piers. Crawl space supports function similarly to reinforce and help lift sagging floors and floor joists. Cracking and bowing walls will benefit from carbon fiber supports, specialized wall beams, or wall anchors. All these American-made solutions are customizable and backed by long-lasting warranties.

Why Choose Tar Heel Basement Systems?

Your foundation is what supports your entire Northern North Carolina home and everything and everyone in it, so it must be safe and structurally sound. Problems like cracks, settling, and unevenness can threaten your home and family, so put a stop to them before severe damage ensues. 

Trust in the expertise and nationally recognized solutions our team at Tar Heel Basement Systems has to offer. That is what thousands of local homeowners have done for 20 years. See for yourself by browsing through our glowing reviews, and then contact us to book your free foundation inspection and repair estimate.

Justin S, Ian B, and Demarte S were very excellent workers! They did extra stuff that was not sold and went above and beyond for me and my home! They were extremely professional and friendly and were on time everyday of the project. Couldn’t not have asked Groundworks for a better team!

This is just in the beginning stages. What I am rating the company on currently is the Certified Field Inspector John Dounoucos. John has been to our home twice. The first time was last week to learn what my concerns were and then quote me on the work that was needed. The first thing I would like to mention is John arrived on time and was very thorough and went over all the processes required. I told John I would be getting a second quote before making any decisions and he was good with that. The one thing that means the most to me is, John was NOT pushy, there was NO hard sell and NO you have to sign now or the price could change. John followed up with a text a few days later and we had just finished with our second quote. The price from the second company was fairly even, but I liked John's approach and the scope of work for this project. Looking forward to seeing how the job goes! I feel confident it will meet the high standards John outlined for us!

From Brandon, the account manager/estimator to the crew on site (John, Edwin and Colin – I hope I got all their names correct). They were awesome. Brandon was very informative and explained everything thoroughly during the estimate, he communicated through out and even answered a couple phone calls and text messages while he was out of town. The crew – John was the foreman and was super helpful. Called/texted each morning before they showed up, was professional and upbeat. This is not an easy job and they all were very professional. Would happily pay them for any future properties I may have. Sure fire example of, you pay for what you get. Professional, courteous, upbeat and communication was perfect. Thanks guys!

We used Tar Heel Basement Systems repair a rotted sill beam on the front of our 100+ year old house. From the time Clint showed up to do our estimate untill the crew left having completed the work it was a great experience. Clint was very thorough and ensured we understood everything before he left. When the crew arrived the Foreman, Evan spoke in terms I as the homeowner could understand. He went over everything again and made sure I knew the scope of work, the time line, etc. Matt and Cody did a great job. They made quick work of getting all the old insulation out of the crawlspace. They all did a great job with the structural work and that did one last walk around and picked up all the old insulation down to the smallest pieces. Very professional crew

The team that did the encapsulating our crawlspace was Derrick (Foreman), Onyx and Jordan. They were great and professional. They were prompt and once they arrived they went straight to work. They unfortunately were working when it was raining and cold. Derrick kept me up to date on their process and provided pictures every day. One important part for me was that they would clean up at the end of the day. I would highly recommend them.
