Foundation Crack Repair
Cracks in your foundation wall are not something to ignore. Whether you have a hairline shrinkage crack or a wider structural fracture, the key is understanding what's causing it and addressing that cause — not just the symptom.
Our team evaluates crack orientation (vertical, horizontal, diagonal, stair-step), width, depth, and the surrounding soil and drainage conditions before recommending a repair method. For Murfreesboro's clay-heavy soils, this diagnostic step is critical.
- Epoxy and polyurethane crack injection
- Carbon fiber reinforcement for bowing walls
- Helical pier and wall plate anchoring
- Exterior waterproof membrane application
- Drainage correction to reduce recurrence
Basement Waterproofing
Murfreesboro and Rutherford County receive significant seasonal rainfall, and low-lying properties near the Stones River corridor can see substantial water pressure against foundation walls. A wet basement isn't just inconvenient — it signals ongoing structural risk.
We design waterproofing systems matched to your specific property — interior drainage channels, sump pump systems, exterior membranes, or a combination. Our goal is to keep water out permanently, not temporarily.
- Interior French drain and sump pump installation
- Exterior waterproofing membrane application
- Battery-backup sump pump systems
- Window well drains and downspout extensions
- Basement wall crack sealing and injection
Pier & Beam Repair
Many older homes in Murfreesboro — particularly those built before the 1970s — sit on pier and beam foundations. These systems offer excellent access for repairs but are vulnerable to moisture damage, wood rot, and settling piers over time.
Sloping floors, bouncy or soft spots, doors that drag, and visible wood decay under the home are all signs your pier and beam foundation may need attention. Our team works from the crawl space up to restore a level, solid structure.
- Wood beam and joist repair or replacement
- Concrete and steel pier adjustment or replacement
- Shim leveling and floor re-leveling
- Moisture barrier installation under crawl space
- Crawl space venting improvement
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Middle Tennessee's humid summers create ideal conditions for mold, wood rot, and pest activity in unprotected crawl spaces. An encapsulated crawl space — fully sealed with a heavy-duty vapor barrier — eliminates ground moisture at the source.
Beyond protecting your structure, encapsulation measurably improves indoor air quality and can reduce energy costs. We install complete systems including vapor barriers, drainage boards, insulation, and dehumidifiers as needed.
- Heavy-duty polyethylene vapor barrier (12–20 mil)
- Crawl space drainage board installation
- Rim joist and wall insulation
- Crawl space dehumidifier installation
- Vent sealing and conditioned air solutions
Slab Foundation Repair
Concrete slab foundations are common in newer Murfreesboro subdivisions and throughout Rutherford County. While durable, they are vulnerable to the same clay soil expansion and contraction that affects all local foundations — and when a slab settles unevenly, the effects travel throughout the entire structure.
We diagnose slab issues with precision before recommending a repair approach. Depending on the severity and location of settlement, we may use pressed concrete or steel piers, mudjacking, or polyurethane foam lifting.
- Pressed concrete and steel pier installation
- Polyurethane foam slab lifting (slab jacking)
- Void detection and void filling
- Slab crack monitoring and documentation
- Post-repair drainage correction
Drainage Solutions
Water is the most common cause of foundation damage in Middle Tennessee. Before we repair a foundation, we always evaluate drainage conditions — because fixing a crack without fixing the water source means doing the same repair twice.
We design and install drainage systems that intercept surface and subsurface water before it reaches your foundation. This is especially important in areas of Rutherford County with low-lying lots or heavy soil runoff.
- French drain design and installation
- Surface swale and grading correction
- Downspout extension and underground piping
- Sump pump installation and pit construction
- Channel drain and catch basin systems
