Unstable foundations can result from Wilmington’s wet weather and sandy soils. Ensure the safety and longevity of your foundation and home with Tar Heel’s permanent repair solutions.
A cracking, settling, uneven, and otherwise damaged foundation is troublesome for the rest of your Wilmington, NC, home. Your home depends on the foundation for long-lasting support, but any kind of damage puts its structural integrity at risk, along with the safety of your family. Detecting issues early and having them professionally repaired is the key to ensuring your home’s safety and longevity.

Installation of Customized Solutions
Our professional production crew installs patented, American-made solutions in each home with care and strives to leave the area better than we found it.
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.
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. To schedule your free foundation inspection and repair estimate, simply get in touch with us today.

I used Tar Heel Basement Systems due to excellent service previously provided in two other homes in another city and the Raleigh branch did not disappoint from the consultation provided by Brian, the coordination from Ryan and the excellent service from Evan, Onyx and Derrick. The service crew was very courteous, polite and professional and their ethical behavior produced outstanding results.

This company did a crawlspace encapsulation for us. The work is top notch and it only took 3 days. Everything was thoroughly explained to us.

I had just purchased a property and needed work on the crawlspace. Pete came out and did the initial inspection and explained everything thoroughly. We scheduled our service and then Ray W, Justin U, Greg H, and Eduardo Z came to do work and were extremely professional. At the end Ray walked me through everything they had done for an overall great experience!

Cannot recommend more highly. Tim Martin came out and knew immediately what to do. Professional crew created new drainage trough and installed a newer, more effective sump pump. Great communicators, prompt and swift service and fully warranted service. Exactly the kind of company I like doing business with. Would not hesitate to call them for help again and again (but, hope I don't have to…hah!!). Well done Tim Martin!

Tar Heel Basement Systems is a great company! Of course we all know a company is only as good as the people who represent it. And I must say, Jagwon and Stanley who installed my basement system clearly are proud of their product and of their company. These two men arrived on time, were extremely polite and courteous, worked hard and very fast to give me (the client) the best job possible. Jagmon spent the necessary time with me to answer all my questions and kept me in the loop so I knew what all the steps were and why they were important. My only regret is I only have one basement to do. But you can bet I will be telling my friends and neighbors where they must go for solving their basement issues…Tar Heel Basement Systems!

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!

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.

The guys just wrapped up at my house today. Tylor, Andrew and Stephen did a great job. They were prompt, communicated well and were happy to answer all of my questions. Corey was quick to come out and get a plan of action, which was much appreciated. With remodeling my home I’ve found it’s rare to have a great crew that executes as planned, arrives when scheduled, and leaves things cleaner than when they started. Tar Heel has just that. As a whole they have been a pleasure to work with and I have no complaints. Excited to have peace of mind when it comes to my basement.
