"I recently had a significant issue with a sagging foundation in my home, which was causing noticeable problems throughout the house - sticking doors, uneven floors, and even some cracking in the walls. I was understandably stressed and worried about the long-term stability of my property. After researching several local companies, I decided to go with Bay Crawlspace Foundation Repair, and I am so glad I did. They did an excellent job."
"So very pleased! After getting multiple estimates from other foundation companies in the area, I could not be happier choosing Virginia Foundation Solutions. The attention to detail and professionalism was above and beyond their competitors and my expectations. From my initial consultation with the sales rep, to the crew installing the work, it could not have gone smoother. Everyone I dealt with was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and they made sure the work was done with accuracy! I highly recommend VFS to anyone in need of foundation repairs!!"
"Two workers arrived to perform foundation repair. They were not informed of the scope of the repair, poor communication. I had to show them the repair details. Once they were convinced that they had to replace the entire cornerstone everything went well. No reply from JES about my complaint. Previous driveway repair was without incident or issue."
"We were very pleased with all aspects of the work done for us by Virginia Foundations Solutions, Inc. Tim was a great salesperson, very professional, explaining everything we needed in detail. We needed major repairs underneath our home as well as repairs inside our fireplace. Jose, Alex and Willy worked so hard and did a fabulous job! Josh was so helpful and kind and all of the crew were just so caring and provided us with wonderful service, They were always punctual and so... neat, always leaving our home in tip top shape. We were so pleased with this company! We highly recommend them and we will certainly tell everyone we know about our positive experience with this company."
"They worked quickly and explained what they were doing through out the process. They were very respectful and really nice to deal with. The price was fantastic compared with other quotes I had been given. I would definitely use them again if I have an issue with my foundation."

"I hired them for some spray foam, but once they got into the space, they discovered that the work that they needed to do didn't need to get done. They could have just done the job, but they let me know that it wasn't needed. Such honesty is greatly appreciated. If I need some work done on the foundation or attic, I will most certainly work with them again. They are courteous, communicative, and provide excellent service. Simon was fantastic to work with."

"Used Grady's for doing tile and grout repair for my living/dining/Kitchen floor, which is well over 1000sq feet. Very reasonable pricing, and extremely clean job. They sealed up all the grout.."
There are many actions that specialists can take to repair a bad foundation. However, just like a car, a specialist will determine whether the cost of repairs is worth it in the long run. In many cases, repairs to the surrounding property—such as regrading your lawn or addressing lawn drainage issues—will also be necessary.
Yes, slab leaks are fairly common, especially in older homes and places that are prone to earthquakes which can move home foundations.
In order to raise your home to make foundation repairs, you'll need to bring in a structural engineer to help you design the project. You'll also need to see if you're eligible for the permits needed, and contact a foundation repair company near you.
Whether you need a permit for foundation repair depends on your location and the scope of the work. Major repairs like foundation stabilization typically require a building permit, while smaller projects such as sealing non-structural cracks or applying waterproofing solutions often do not. It's crucial that your contractor follows all local building codes, as an inspector will review the work to ensure it's up to standard. Failing to obtain the necessary permits can create issues when selling your home and may lead to further damage if the work is not done correctly. Your foundation repair specialist will usually know if a permit is needed and can handle the process for you. You can also contact your local building department or municipal office to confirm the requirements and verify that your contractor has filed the appropriate paperwork.
Foundation repair can affect home value positively or negatively. If you address the underlying issue and hire a foundation repair contractor to complete the work—especially one that includes a warranty for the work—then your repair will likely increase your home’s value. If you fail to pull proper permits and cannot prove that a licensed expert completed the work, there’s a chance buyers will view your home in a negative light and end up offering less for your property.
