Foundation Repair in Northern North Carolina

Your Northern North Carolina house is only as strong and stable as the foundation it was built upon.

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.

Tar Heel basement systems goes over and beyond their obligations to satisfy their customers even several years past. They came out and retaped some of the seams in the vapor barrier and cleaned the barrier where some water had pooled. I highly recommend them and their service technician (Jacob ) went over and beyond his duties to satisfy me as a customer. He readjusted my dehumidifier to the proper settings. Get them to help you! You won’t regret it! Superior service!

We had the "A Team" (Nyles R. Jeff T. and Tyree M.) come out to do our crawl space, and they lived up to their title. Nyles walked me through all the work they were going to do, he clearly explained it and was very patient with me, and all my questions; even as I crawled around their work space, they took the time to answer all of my questions. As an artisan I can tell when someone has done good, mediocre or bad work. Even if you don't know the work itself, you can tell by how the work is being performed, executed and completed; the detail and dedication to the work itself. Nyles, Jeff and Tyree, the "A Team", were Awesome!

From the start of the initial estimate Tarheel was easy to work with. Ian and Daniel were the two guys who came to work on my crawl space and they were amazing. They both went above and beyond in what they had to do and went as far as helping with things that wasn’t their responsibility. I would recommend Tarheel to anyone.

Benjamin Anthony was our inspector that came out and inspected our home. He was on time, polite, and explained in great detail all the issues going on in the home and how to fix it all. When briefing he had detail photos and showed us the true condition of the home. When we purchased our work he didn’t pressure us and ensured we were happy with everything going forward. We have our work scheduled for later in the month but so far extremely pleased with Groundwords.

I had an excellent experience with Tarheel Basement Systems. They installed three permanent jacks to provide supplemental support, and the entire project was handled with care, professionalism, and clear communication. Nick Perfetti, the foreman, was outstanding from the very beginning. He took the time to thoroughly explain the scope of the project, what to expect during installation, and answered all of my questions before work began. After the job was completed, he walked me through the finished work in detail, ensuring everything was done correctly and that I was fully comfortable with the results. His knowledge and attention to detail truly stood out. Jordan Bumpers, the co-foreman, played a key role in keeping the project running smoothly. He was professional, organized, and clearly experienced, making sure the installation was done properly and efficiently. His leadership on-site was evident and contributed greatly to the quality of the work. Hunter Okonsky did an excellent job with the installation of the support system. He worked diligently, paid close attention to detail, and took pride in doing the job right. His professionalism and strong work ethic were very apparent throughout the process. Overall, the entire team was professional, respectful of my home, and committed to quality workmanship. I am very pleased with the results and would highly recommend Tarheel Basement Systems to anyone needing foundation or structural support work.

James, Alfred, & Trent did a phenomenal job sealing up our crawl space!! They were very thorough in the process of the work they did as well as providing excellent detail in the work they did prior to starting the project and then after when explaining what they did. They also were extremely helpful by taking pictures of the crawl space and explaining extensively each step of the way. I highly suggest using this company!
