Stable Foundations provides foundation repair services throughout Richmond, VA, and surrounding communities. We start with an inspection to determine which foundation repair or waterproofing service best fits your property.
Foundation Services We Offer
Our residential foundation services cover the full range of structural and waterproofing solutions Richmond-area homeowners need, from initial inspection through long-term repair. We provide inspections, foundation repair services, and foundation waterproofing services based on the condition of your property.
Foundation Inspections
Our foundation inspections include a visual assessment, measurements, and documentation of cracks or other concerns before we recommend any repair. This gives you a clear understanding of the problem without pressure to move forward.
Foundation Repair
Richmond-area clay soils can expand and contract as moisture levels change, contributing to foundation movement. Our foundation repair services address settlement and structural movement with crack injection, wall reinforcement, pier installation, and house leveling solutions.
Waterproofing Services
Our crawl space and basement waterproofing solutions include interior drainage systems, sump pumps, and crawl space encapsulation. These foundation waterproofing services help control moisture and protect structural repairs from ongoing water problems.
