Olshan Foundation Repair

About us

Established in 1933, Olshan Foundation provides cost-effective foundation solutions to residential and commercial property owners. Services are backed by an available lifetime warranty, friendly customer support and convenient financing options. Free, no-obligation structural assessments are performed by Certified Structural Technicians. Since no two homes are alike, our Technicians carefully inspect the problems affecting your home before developing a comprehensive repair plan designed uniquely to your property. Olshan is the exclusive provider of the Cable Lock ST Plus repair system. This hybrid design combines the penetrating power of concrete with the long-term durability of steel, providing a longer, deeper more secure repair. We also offer drainage and root barriers to help prevent foundation damage. Schedule a free, no-obligation assessment now. Your home’s structural integrity depends on the strength of your foundation. It supports everything else – walls, windows, floors, doorways, roof – so when your foundation is damaged, it can cause serious problems throughout your home. Like most things in life, your foundation is subject to environmental stress. Expanding and contracting soil, excessive moisture and inadequate drainage are some of the most common threats to your home’s foundation. Over time, environmental stressors can cause a foundation to shift, crack or settle unevenly. And homeowners often miss early warning signs of foundation damage. Homeowners spend about $4 billion annually stabilizing faulty foundations, and those costs may increase as more homes are built in areas known for shifting soil. Understanding risk factors and signs of foundation problems can help you protect your most valuable asset from irreversible damage.

Given the incorrect start date by Judy at the Knoxville main office. Bad start. Crew arrived the next day and began  working hard and diligently to complete the repair in a timely fashion. Weather and difficult shale soil slowed the work somewhat.

The crew chief Brian, as well as the entire onsite staff were professional and dedicated to a job well done. I could not be more pleased with the results of the lift and clean up.   Kudos guys!

Did not explain well what we were getting, or how long it would take before we could put house back together. Did not adequately protect from dust.

It has gone horrible.  Olshan refuses to fix our front porch columns (putting them back in place and securing them so that they no longer shift).  That is what they were paid to accomplish.  All they want to do is fix the parts that are easy fixes and give us a partial refund on the parts that are going to cost them money to do.  Of course, they want us to release them from all liability on the work that they refund on.  Terrible way to do your customers and run a business!

We are extremely unsatisfied and routinely tell people of the poor service we have recieved and the apparent not so good lifetime warranty offered by this company.

Tom, the certified structural technician, was very professional and did a thorough inspection inside and outside.
He explained everything clearly on possible solutions.
He even suggested some new positive alternatives to trey before committing to a major repair.

The service was good and it was quality work. They were responsive and sent a number of people to do the work. I'm sure it was really hard work. I would use them again.

I think they did a very good job. The drain pipe was dug (by day laborers) but installed by Olshan personnel. Constructed well and it works. This was a wet spring. Haven't seen the french drain in action (only during testing and acceptance) and hopefully I never will. They showed up on time both days and provided information and updates on the job all the way through. The crew chief was experienced and knew what he was doing. I sat down with the estimator initially and he presented his approach of my water problem (water in the crawl space). He did a detailed inspection of my crawl space and I selected Olshan based on his evaluation of my problem. I probably could have gotten the work done for a little less but I wanted a guarantee on the work from a company that has been in business for more than a few years (they have been business since 1933).

We made appointments with three companies for estimates. One company did not show up, one company seemed to be charging more for less service, and Olshan had the most logical solution and it seemed that we would be getting more for our money. They came out about a month later. The work took about two days. They were very professional and kept us informed about everything that was going on. They took my husband on a tour of the foundation to show him what all had happened. It was very informative for us.

Overall they really seemed to know what they were doing and fixed the problem. They were really easy to work with and they worked late into the night to get the job.
