Foundation Repair
Your home's foundation is its most critical support system. When it begins to shift, crack, or sink, it can affect everything above, from uneven floors and sticky doors to visible wall cracks and drainage issues. At Riverfront Concrete Repair, we provide comprehensive foundation repair services in Alexandria, VA, to address structural problems before they grow worse. Whether your foundation is a concrete slab, pier, and beam, or crawl space, our team has the expertise to restore safety, stability, and peace of mind.
Signs Your Foundation Needs Repair
Foundations can deteriorate for many reasons: poor soil conditions, water infiltration, drainage problems, or natural settling over time. The warning signs often appear subtly—a few hairline cracks on the walls, windows that don’t open smoothly, or floors that start to slope. However, these seemingly minor issues often indicate underlying problems. The sooner you take action, the more cost-effective and minimally invasive the repair process can be. Our inspections begin with a detailed assessment of your home’s structure, grading, and foundation type. We don’t just look at symptoms—we determine their root cause to offer the most effective solution for long-term stability.
Common Foundation Repair Types and Methods
Different types of foundation damage call for different solutions. Hairline or wide cracks may result from pressure, shrinkage, or movement. We use polyurethane or epoxy injections to seal these cracks and prevent further water intrusion. Settling or sinking foundations typically occur due to soil compaction or moisture changes. Our team installs steel or helical piers beneath the foundation to lift and support it, restoring levelness. We also address bowing or bulging walls, which occur when lateral pressure from surrounding soil causes the walls to push inward. We stabilize them using carbon fiber straps or wall anchors to bring them back into alignment. We can fix sagging floors or rotting beams in homes with crawl spaces using sister joists, shimming, or new support piers. Hydrostatic pressure and poor drainage can weaken foundations. We offer drainage correction, French drains, and interior waterproofing to divert water safely away from the structure. Each repair method is chosen specifically for your home’s layout, condition, and long-term needs.
