Foundation Repair in Chapel Hill, NC

Chapel Hill experiences an average annual rainfall of around 44 inches, which, combined with its clay loam soils, can significantly impact the stability of your home's foundation. Excess moisture can lead to soil expansion, creating hydrostatic pressure that may cause walls to crack or bow. Conversely, dry conditions can cause soil shrinkage, leading to gaps under your foundation. Signs of foundation issues, such as sticking doors, nail pops, and uneven floors, should be addressed promptly. Tar Heel Basement Systems offers a range of permanent, warrantied foundation repair solutions to restore your home's structural integrity.

As Chapel Hill's trusted provider of foundation repair services, Tar Heel Basement Systems, a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to delivering personalized, high-quality repair solutions.

Types of Foundation Damage in Chapel Hill

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Chapel Hill

Water Damage

Excess water from leaks, heavy rains, or floods can weaken the foundation by accumulating around it, leading to cracks and structural issues.

Expansive Soil

Certain types of soil, particularly those rich in clay minerals, are prone to expansion when wet and contraction when dry, exerting pressure on your foundation.

Poor Drainage

Improper drainage systems can lead to water pooling around the foundation, increasing the risk of water damage and soil erosion.

Tree Roots

Roots from nearby trees can grow under the foundation, causing it to shift or crack as they expand.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.

Climate Conditions

Extreme weather conditions, such as droughts or heavy rains, can cause soil to expand or contract, putting stress on the foundation.

These common causes highlight the importance of regular maintenance and inspections to prevent foundation damage and ensure the longevity of your home.
