When the foundation of your Raleigh home is damaged, you will notice problem signs throughout your house. Some of these telltale signs include wall cracks, brick cracks, cracking and leaning chimneys, bowing walls, drywall nail pops, sagging and uneven floors, and sticking doors and windows. None of these issues will improve on their own, and time is not on your side. These are serious signs of damage that grow more severe the longer they continue, and they can evolve into even more hazardous damage that puts the safety of your family and home in jeopardy. Contact our experts at the first sign of trouble to avoid these dangers and costly repairs.
Many factors may be behind the damage your Raleigh foundation is experiencing, but the most common causes are external forces including local weather conditions and your property’s soil. Raleigh has a mix of sandy loam and clay loam soil. Sand typically drains well, but clay is an expansive soil that dramatically shrinks with lack of water and swells when there is excessive water. Raleigh’s 46 inches of annual rainfall keeps the soil generally wet, so hydrostatic pressure created by overly saturated soil will lead to cracking and bowing walls. The foundation also can sink and settle into the wet soil, as well as voids created by dry periods or tree roots moving through the soil.
Your home is different from others throughout Raleigh, so it needs to have repairs tailored to the specific challenges your foundation faces. We at Tar Heel Basement Systems provide a wide variety of foundation repair solutions to meet those unique needs. If your foundation is settling, we will use one of our pier systems, either helical piers, push piers, or slab piers, to permanently stabilize and help lift it. If your home has a crawl space with sagging floors, crawl space support posts will reinforce the floors and floor joists, as well as help even them out. If your home has a basement with bowing walls, carbon fiber straps will reinforce them, and wall anchors and wall beams will help restore them.
While you can’t control Raleigh’s wet weather and unstable soil that can plague your home, with the help of our professionals you can control how your home reacts to these forces. Our permanent foundation repair solutions are American-made, backed by warranties for extended protection, nationally recognized, and award-winning. We have earned awards from Angi and the Better Business Bureau for our solutions and services, as well as many five-star reviews from satisfied customers who now have stable foundations.
You no longer have to live with cracking walls or sagging floors that threaten your home and family. Contact us today to book your free inspection and estimate, and start your journey to permanent foundation repair and protection.

From the time I called to request an initial revie, until the work was completed, this process was professional and convenient. Zack came and crawled around in the very tight crawl space during the initial examination and then scoped the work and cost same day with me. John C and Brian C were the service representatives performing the installation of the membrane and foam board over a two day process. These guys worked so hard and kept me informed on status the whole way. I gave 5 stars because I've had lots of service jobs performed at my home and this team and the work done exceeded my expectations.

The the professional manner in which every part of the team approached the job at hand was far above my expectations. The Foreman, Shane English introduced his team Evan Boswell and Jaziah Christ to me. They were courteous, hard working, kept the job site clean and organized. They were very timely arriving at job site. No waiting on my part. They ask me several times if I had any questions. And they placed items back where they needed to be. I have several other projects in mind for Tarheel Basement Solutions. I would not hesitate to recommend them for your projects.

Cameron and Mekhi did a great job of installing a crawl drain and sump pump. They arrived on time, worked diligently, and completed the job sooner than was expected. All the while they answered my questions and provided a complete walk (crawl) through at the end. They were courteous and tried very hard to be sure I was pleased with the work. Excellent work by both of them!

After an annual maintenance service of our crawl space encapsulation and at the suggestion of Grant we decided to move forward with a plan to stabilize an area of our foundation that was weakened for some time. Tyree and Christian came out two days later to install beams and jacks to secure that part of the foundation. Tyree explained everything that was going to happen, what it would do to stabilize the foundation, and how long it would take. Everything went very smoothly and I went into the crawlspace to inspect the work and learn how the system would add support to the foundation. Tyree explained in terms I could understand. Both men were professional and finished in the time they laid out. This is my second experience with Tar Heel and both went well.
