Full-Service Foundation Repair Solutions
Foundation Wall Support
When soil movement causes a wall to bow or a section of the house to settle, helical piers transfer the load down to soil that isn’t moving.
Steel I-Beams
For walls that are bowing but not yet failing, steel I-beams stop the movement in place before it gets worse.
Concrete Leveling
Sunken slabs, uneven garage floors, and settled walkways get raised back to level without a full replacement.

Why Winston-Salem Foundations Move
Winston-Salem sits on Cecil series clay, which is the red clay you see through most of the Piedmont. It’s a soil type that swells when it rains and pulls back when the ground dries out, and that back-and-forth puts steady pressure on whatever’s sitting on top of it.
A wet spring followed by a dry summer can move a foundation twice in a single year, and that’s a common weather cycle we are seeing in the Piedmont Triad area.
In older neighborhoods like Ardmore and West Salem, that pressure has decades to work with. Homes here often predate modern grading and drainage standards, so the water management that would normally protect a foundation from soil movement was never built in. Add West Salem’s sloped terrain, and runoff moves toward foundations faster than it would on flatter ground.
The Old Salem, Washington Park, and West End neighborhoods face the same problem, with older foundations paired with drainage systems no longer working well.
Here are some of the most common signs you might be experiencing in your Winston-Salem home:
• Stair-step cracks running through brick or block.
• A chimney pulling slightly away from the house.
• Doors that used to close fine and now stick at the top corner.
• Floors with a slope you can feel more than see.
None of these mean your home is falling apart, but they do mean the soil underneath it is moving, and the sooner someone looks at it, the smaller the fix tends to be.

Foundation Repair Questions Winston-Salem Homeowners Ask
How do I know if my foundation cracks are from soil movement or just normal settling?
Diagonal cracks running from a window or door corner, or any crack wider than a quarter inch, are worth a closer look. Those are the types of cracks that we see with Piedmont clay movement rather than normal aging. When we come to give your home a free inspection, we’ll look at all the cracks and show you the best permanent solution.
What happens after I contact you about my home?
We’ll contact you within 5 minutes to discuss the concerns in your home and schedule a time for a Certified Field Inspector to visit.
Once there, our Certified Field Inspector will do a thorough 79-point inspection and present the best permanent solution that’s guaranteed to last, for your specific scenario.
Can I finance my foundation repair?
Yes. We offer zero-interest financing on approved credit, so you can move forward with the repair now and pay over time without any added cost. Ask about financing options when you call or fill out the form and someone on our team will walk you through what’s available and how to apply to see if you qualify.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover foundation repair?
In most cases, standard homeowner’s insurance does not cover foundation repair caused by settling, soil movement, or gradual deterioration, which describes the majority of foundation issues we see. Coverage may apply if the damage resulted from a sudden, covered event like a burst pipe. We recommend checking your policy directly, and we’re happy to document the damage thoroughly if you need to file a claim.
What does the process look like when we are ready to move forward?
When you’re ready to begin your home repair, our production manager will review your project and order the materials needed.
Within 5 business days, our office will reach out to schedule your repairs.
If your project requires an engineer-approved plan, we will arrange the necessary permits and approvals.
