Foundation Settlement Repairs

Crawl Space Repair Near You

Bowed Wall Repair Service

Concrete Crack Repair Specialist

Concrete crack repairs seal active leaks, restore strength where needed, and limit future spread.

We use epoxy injection for structural cracks and polyurethane injection for flexible sealing. Epoxy bonds the two sides and restores strength. Polyurethane seals movement joints or hairlines that move with the seasons. We prep, port, inject, and finish each area.

We review slab cracks and edges for load and movement. Slab‑on‑grade cracks near corners may show curl or shrinkage. Settlement near porches can point to voids. We add support where needed and monitor low‑risk lines.

Concrete Foundation Repair in Columbus

We offer concrete foundation repair that stops movement and fixes the underlying issue.

Picture this. You notice a thin crack on the slab by the garage. The door near it starts to rub the frame after a week of rain. That is your first sign that the foundation moved.

We start with a simple check of the slab and footings. We measure floor slope, mark cracks, and note where doors stick. These quick checks tell us if the problem is settlement, a bowed wall, or surface shrinkage.

If the home is settling, we install steel piers at key points. Piers carry the load down to firm soil which takes the weight off the soft layer near the surface. The goal is steady support, not guesswork.

If the slab has a structural crack, we use epoxy injection. Epoxy bonds the sides and restores strength. If the crack moves with seasons or lets in moisture, we use polyurethane instead. That seal flexes as the slab shifts.

If a basement wall leans, we add interior braces or wall anchors. Braces work inside when space is tight. Anchors pull the wall back against steady soil. Carbon-fiber straps help when the movement is light and new.

Columbus sits near clay that shrinks in dry spells and swells after storms. That push and pull acts on footings, slabs, and walls. We pick the fix with this local pattern in mind.

Why Foundation Problems Happen in Columbus

Foundation problems happen in Columbus when clay soil moves, water loads the soil, and drainage leaves moisture against the house. 

What’s going on (plain cause & effect):

• Clay soil swells, then shrinks. After rain, the local clay swells and lifts parts of the foundation. In dry spells, the clay shrinks and drops them. That up-and-down motion makes cracks, uneven floors, and sticking doors.

• Water adds side pressure on walls. Wet soil gets heavy. When it stays soaked beside a basement or crawlspace wall, it pushes inward (hydrostatic pressure). Results: bowed walls, step-cracks, and leaks.

• Poor grading and gutters keep soil wet. If the yard slopes toward the house or downspouts dump water at the footing, water pools. Saturated soil softens, and the footing settles. Expect tilting porches, corner cracks, and gap lines.

• Plumbing or AC drips soak one area. A slow leak under the house creates a wet pocket. Posts and beams rot or sink under that spot, so floors sag and bounce.

• Trees and big shrubs change moisture. In dry weather, roots pull water from the clay near the footing. The soil shrinks there first, causing differential settlement (one side drops faster than the other).

• Fill soil or light compaction at build time. If backfill wasn’t compacted well, the ground compresses over time. You see early-life settlement, stair-step cracks, and sloping slabs.

• Hillside creep and retaining walls. On slopes, soil slowly moves downhill, pushing on walls and footings. Retaining walls lean without drainage and tie-backs.

• Crawl space humidity. Warm, wet air under the house rots wood over time. Joists and beams weaken, so floors dip even if the concrete footing looks fine.

Call Us for Foundation Repair Solution

We stabilize bowed basement or crawl space walls that lean from soil pressure. Bowed wall repairs stop inward movement and stabilize block or poured walls.

We measure deflection along the length and height. Horizontal cracks and step‑cracks show movement patterns. We document soil pressure points near the wall. We use structural anchors and reinforcement that tie walls back to the floor system or add bracing. 

Widening cracks and movement signal loss of capacity and call for prompt structural action. We use rated anchors and connectors to resist that push.

Manufacturer systems (e.g., Simpson Strong‑Tie) connect foundation walls to the floor diaphragm to resist out‑of‑plane forces from backfill. This approach adds reliable support without the need for excavation.

When walls need extra strength, we use approved anchors or bracing made for concrete or block walls. These parts are tested for use with concrete and masonry.

Call our team at (252) 648-6476 for foundation solutions that stop movement and fix the cause. You’ll talk to a foundation contractor near you who sets a time to visit and keeps the process simple.

You make the call and tell us what you see. Maybe a corner is settling, a crack is spreading, or a door is rubbing. We book a visit that fits your schedule.

We come out and look at the walls and the crawl space. We explain what is happening and all available foundation solutions. We share a clear plan and price before any work starts.

If the home is settling, we install piers at key spots to reach firm soil. If a wall is leaning, we add interior braces or anchors to hold it. If a crack needs repair, we inject it and seal it so it stays tight. If the crawl space is weak, we add posts and fix the framing.
