Georgia’s expansive clay soil creates unique challenges for residential foundations. As soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, it puts stress on your home’s structure. We’ve served Atlanta homeowners since 2019, and we’ve seen what works – and what fails in three years. Our approach focuses on permanent fixes using weather-resistant materials built for Georgia conditions.
We offer complete foundation repair and structural stabilization services designed for Atlanta homes. Our team handles everything from initial inspection through final repairs, securing permits and managing the technical details so you don’t navigate the red tape alone.
Foundation piers provide the deep support your settling foundation needs. We install helical piers and foundation piers that reach stable soil beneath the shifting clay.
These systems transfer your home’s weight to solid ground, stopping settlement and often allowing us to lift and level your foundation. For lakefront properties at Lake Lanier or Lake Allatoona, we use helical pier systems engineered specifically for challenging soil conditions.
Chronic moisture in crawl spaces causes laminated veneer lumber (LVL) beams to rot and lose their load-bearing strength. Atlanta’s humidity combined with plumbing leaks or poor drainage penetrates these engineered support beams over time.
As water saturates the LVL, laminated layers separate, the wood weakens and rots, and the beam sags under your home’s weight. You’ll notice sagging floors, bouncing when you walk, or settlement cracks appearing in walls and ceilings.
We replace rotted LVL beams with steel or treated lumber that won’t deteriorate in Georgia’s climate. Before installing new supports, we address the moisture source – foundation drainage, plumbing leaks, or ventilation problems.
Replacing rotted beams without fixing water intrusion means the same sagging and settlement in a few years. Our approach stops the moisture, removes compromised structural members, and installs permanent supports that halt settling and restore your home’s structural integrity.
Cracked or bowing basement walls compromise your home’s structural integrity and create water intrusion risks. We stabilize failing basement walls using carbon fiber reinforcement systems for walls with horizontal cracks, and install steel wall anchors for walls showing significant bowing or lean.
These systems stop further movement and often allow us to straighten walls back toward their original position. Georgia’s clay soil puts constant lateral pressure on basement walls – especially during wet seasons when soil expands.
Our basement wall repair solutions account for this ongoing pressure, providing permanent stabilization rather than temporary patches that fail when the next heavy rain hits Metro Atlanta.RetryJB
Moisture and inadequate support in crawl spaces lead to structural problems that affect your entire home above.
We replace rotted or undersized support beams, install supplemental steel posts where original supports have failed, and address floor joist damage caused by Georgia’s high humidity.
Many Atlanta homes were built with minimal crawl space ventilation and no moisture barriers – a recipe for wood rot and structural weakening over decades.
Our crawl space structural repairs restore proper load-bearing capacity beneath your floors while addressing the moisture conditions that caused the damage.
We evaluate whether your crawl space needs encapsulation, improved drainage, or simply stronger supports to handle your home’s weight distribution correctly.Retry
Our structural repair services address the most common issues Atlanta homeowners face:
Visible gaps between your foundation and siding, separating chimneys, or doors that suddenly won’t close indicate your home is settling unevenly into Georgia’s clay soil.
We identify settlement patterns, determine if movement is active or stabilized, and implement pier systems that halt further sinking while restoring structural integrity.
Garage floors, patios, and interior slabs that crack, sink, or develop voids underneath create tripping hazards and water pooling problems.
Poor soil compaction beneath concrete slabs allows them to settle over time.
We use slab jacking and polyurethane injection to lift and stabilize sunken concrete, then address the underlying soil conditions causing the problem.
Main support beams that sag, crack, or show rot compromise your home’s entire load distribution.
Undersized beams installed during original construction or beams damaged by moisture can’t handle your home’s weight properly.
We sister new beams alongside damaged ones or replace failed beams entirely, restoring proper support throughout your structure.
Interior walls pulling away from ceilings, exterior brick separating from the house, or diagonal cracks spreading from door and window corners indicate serious foundation movement.
These cracks appear when different parts of your foundation settle at different rates.
We trace crack patterns back to their source, address the foundation problem causing the movement, and restore structural connections that have separated.

Choosing a residential structural repair contractor in Atlanta requires evaluating experience, credentials, construction methods, and business practices. We’ve built our reputation on transparent pricing, quality workmanship, and communication that keeps you informed throughout your project.
Georgia’s expansive clay soil creates most structural issues in Metro Atlanta. When clay soil absorbs water during heavy rain, it swells and pushes against your foundation.
During dry periods, the soil shrinks and pulls away from the foundation. This constant expansion and contraction puts enormous stress on your home’s structure, leading to cracks, settlement, and other damage.
Poor drainage around your foundation, tree roots extracting moisture from soil, and improper construction can make these problems worse.
Hairline cracks from normal settling are usually cosmetic. Watch for horizontal cracks, stair-step cracks in brick, or cracks wider than 1/8 inch – these indicate serious structural stress.
Cracks that are wider at one end than the other, or cracks accompanied by sticking doors, uneven floors, or wall separation signal foundation movement that requires professional assessment.
If you’re seeing multiple symptoms together, schedule a free inspection to understand what’s happening beneath your home.
Most structural repair methods require excavation around your foundation to access the problem areas and install supports like helical piers or wall anchors.
Our crews work to minimize disruption by digging strategically placed holes rather than trenching entire foundation perimeters.
We replant shrubs when possible and remove all debris so you won’t see evidence of major work once we’re finished.
For lakefront properties or homes with extensive landscaping, we’ll walk through the access plan during pre-construction planning so you know exactly what to expect.
Many structural repairs don’t require an engineer’s report – experienced foundation contractors can diagnose and fix common settlement issues, cracked foundations, and basement wall problems.
However, structural engineers provide value for complex situations: severe foundation damage, homes built on multiple soil types, additions that will change load distribution, or when you need an independent assessment before purchasing a home.
Our licensed team works with structural engineers when projects require their expertise, and we’ll recommend one if your situation calls for it.
Georgia’s red clay contains high levels of montmorillonite, a mineral that absorbs water like a sponge.
This clay can swell up to 10% of its volume when saturated, then shrink dramatically when dry.
Unlike sand or gravel that drains well and stays stable, clay soil creates a constantly moving base beneath your foundation.
The heaving and settling cycle – especially when moisture levels aren’t consistent across your entire foundation – causes differential settlement where parts of your foundation move while others don’t.
This uneven movement creates the cracks and structural damage Atlanta homeowners battle.
Most foundation problems can be repaired successfully with modern techniques like pier systems, wall stabilization, and soil treatment.
A foundation needs to be in extremely poor condition before it’s truly beyond repair – we’re talking catastrophic damage from natural disasters or decades of complete neglect.
Even homes with significant settlement, large cracks, or bowing walls can usually be stabilized and restored.
During your inspection, we’ll assess the extent of damage honestly and explain whether repair makes sense or if the situation requires more extensive intervention.
We examine both the exterior and interior of your home, looking for visible cracks in foundation walls, brick, and drywall.
We check doors and windows for operation issues that indicate foundation movement. Inside, we measure floor elevations to identify settling patterns.
In crawl spaces and basements, we inspect support beams, floor joists, and foundation walls up close.
We assess drainage around your property and look for moisture issues.
After the assessment, we explain what we found in plain English, show you the problem areas, and recommend specific solutions – whether that’s pier installation, waterproofing, or drainage improvements.
Large tree roots can extract significant moisture from soil beneath your foundation, causing the soil to dry out, shrink, and pull away from your home.
This creates voids that lead to settlement. Trees within 10-15 feet of your foundation pose the highest risk, especially water-hungry species like willows, poplars, and large oaks.
However, you don’t necessarily need to remove established trees – root barriers, proper foundation watering during dry periods, and strategic pier placement can protect your foundation while preserving your landscaping.
We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend whether tree management should be part of your repair plan.RetryJB
