Your foundation is a complex area of your Wilmington home, but most signs of foundation damage will make themselves known through various forms. Keep an eye out for cracking walls, floor cracks, exterior brick cracks, drywall nail pops, bowing basement walls, uneven floors, cracking and leaning chimneys, and sticking doors and windows. Like ants at a picnic, where there’s one foundation problem, more are sure to follow. The earlier you spot these issues and reach out to Tar Heel Basement Systems for assistance, the better. Foundation damage will worsen, otherwise, and create unsafe living conditions for your family.
The soil and weather in Wilmington are the main causes of most foundation damage. Wilmington is wet and humid, and the majority of the region’s 58 inches of annual precipitation fall during the sticky summer. Although droughts frequently hit the region, this water keeps the soil moist. Sandy soil that quickly filters water is dominant throughout Wilmington, but it will shrink and leave voids the foundation can settle into if it is too well-drained and dry. Trees in your yard may also have strong roots that penetrate the ground and move the soil. Your foundation will start to experience damage if the soil is unstable because it cannot support it adequately.
Foundation Repair Solutions in Wilmington
All homes in Wilmington are unique, as are their foundations and foundation problems. Our team at Tar Heel understands that, which is why we offer a variety of foundation repair solutions that are tailored to meet your home’s specific needs. Settling foundations will be permanently stabilized and potentially lifted with our push piers, helical piers, or slab piers. Crawl space supports function similarly to shore up and possibly raise sagging floor joists and floors. If your home has a basement with cracking and bowing walls, carbon fiber straps act as reinforcements, and wall repair systems like wall anchors and wall beams also can help straighten the walls over time.
For the sake of your family’s safety and the value of your Wilmington home, it’s crucial to maintain a solid foundation. Trust our knowledgeable staff’s experience, nationally recognized service, and warranty-backed solutions to fix foundation problems once and for all.
We have earned accolades from organizations like Angi, Home Advisor, and the Better Business Bureau throughout our 20 years in business. Thousands of satisfied Wilmington homeowners have also left us excellent evaluations. You may see for yourself how we provide exceptional customer service and reliable repairs.

We had foundation issues and a sinking outdoor porch. Tar heel basement systems assessed the situation, created a plan to address the issues (Matt Cote & Steele Welch). The foundation crew (Jaun & Alex) and the "poly" crew (Andrew, Cody, Javi & Al) came out to our home and performed the necessary work to fix the problems. We could not be happier and would highly recommend this company and individuals. Wonderful communication and work was performed flawlessly.

Our front porch stairs had sunk considerably causing the last step up to our house to be too high and tripping people all the time! We found Target Basement Systems and they got it fixed within a week. There work was precise and attention to detail excellent. We were very pleased with how quickly they scheduled our repair (the next week). They showed up exactly as promised and it looks great. You can’t even tell it was repaired. I highly recommend Roswin S, Justin H and Chris A. Only regret is not finding them sooner.
