Concrete foundation footing with rebar reinforcement in Metro Atlanta
What We Do

Protect Your Home's Foundation

Metro Atlanta sits on Piedmont red clay that swells when wet and shrinks in drought, putting uneven pressure under footings and slabs. Caught early, most foundation issues are straightforward to fix. Left alone, they get expensive fast.

  • Epoxy and polyurethane crack injection for poured and block foundations
  • Carbon-fiber straps and steel wall anchors to stop bowing and leaning walls
  • Push piers and helical piers to stabilize and lift settling foundations
  • Mudjacking and polyurethane foam lifting to raise settled slabs and walkways
  • Waterproofing, French drains, and grading to keep water off the structure
  • Honest assessments, engineer coordination, and transferable warranties
Transparent Pricing

What does foundation repair cost in Atlanta?

Georgia foundation repair pricing depends entirely on the cause and the fix. Sealing a cosmetic crack is a few hundred dollars; underpinning a settling corner with piers runs into five figures. These are typical Metro Atlanta ranges, and every project is quoted in writing after an on-site inspection.

Crack injection

Sealing a single non-structural crack with epoxy or polyurethane typically runs $500 to $1,500 per crack, depending on length, width, and access.

Carbon-fiber wall straps

Reinforcing a bowing wall with carbon-fiber straps generally runs $500 to $900 per strap, and a typical wall project lands around $3,500 to $12,000 depending on how many straps the wall needs.

Steel wall anchors

Wall anchor systems that can pull a leaning wall back toward plumb over time typically run $500 to $1,000 per anchor, with most projects between $4,000 and $12,000.

Push & helical piers

Underpinning a settling foundation with push or helical piers usually runs $1,200 to $2,500 per pier installed. A settling corner needs several piers, so full projects commonly range from $10,000 to $25,000 or more.

Mudjacking & foam lifting

Raising a settled slab, walkway, or driveway section runs about $3 to $8 per square foot for mudjacking, while polyurethane foam lifting typically runs $5 to $25 per square foot and cures in minutes.

Method Depth

Helical Piers vs Push Piers

Both piers reach past the seasonally active clay to stable soil or rock. Which one fits depends on the load, the soil, and access.

FactorPush PiersHelical Piers
How they installHydraulically pushed to load-bearing soil using the weight of the house as resistanceScrewed into the soil like a large screw with a hydraulic torque motor
Best forHeavier, full-size structures with enough weight to drive the pierLighter loads, additions, decks, and porches, and where the structure cannot provide resistance
Capacity is verified byDrive pressure at installationInstallation torque, which correlates to holding capacity
Access and equipmentNeeds the structure's weight; compact equipmentInstalls with smaller equipment in tight side yards
Common use hereFull-size settling homes on Atlanta claySunrooms, additions, and lighter Metro Atlanta structures

We spec the right pier after inspecting the load, the soil, and access. On larger jobs a structural engineer signs off on the pier design.

Method Depth

Carbon Fiber vs Wall Anchors

For a bowing or leaning foundation wall, the right fix depends on how far the wall has moved and whether it is still moving.

FactorCarbon-Fiber StrapsSteel Wall Anchors
Best forWalls bowed inward up to about 2 inches that are not actively moving muchWalls with greater deflection or that are still moving
Can it straighten the wall?No, it locks the wall in place and stops further movementYes, anchors can pull a wall back toward plumb over time as they are tightened
Yard excavationNone, the straps bond to the inside face of the wallYes, anchor plates are set in the yard away from the wall
AppearanceLow profile, can be painted overInterior wall plates are visible
Typical range$500 to $900 per strap$500 to $1,000 per anchor

When a wall is too far gone for either, we use steel I-beam bracing or, in the worst cases, rebuild the wall. A structural engineer should evaluate any wall cracked horizontally or bowing more than an inch or two.

Know When You Need One

When You Need a Structural Engineer

Not every crack needs an engineer, but some situations do. An independent structural engineer gives you a neutral repair plan and, when piering or underpinning is involved, the stamped design a Fulton, Gwinnett, DeKalb, or Cobb County permit requires.

  • Wide, horizontal, or stair-step cracks that suggest active structural movement
  • Any project involving push piers, helical piers, or underpinning
  • Bowing or leaning foundation walls beyond an inch or two
  • Before you buy or sell a home with visible foundation issues
  • When the county building department requires stamped, engineered drawings for the permit

Good Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What are signs of foundation problems?
Watch for stair-step cracks in brick or block, doors and windows that stick, sloping floors, and gaps around window or door frames. If you see these, get an assessment sooner rather than later.
How much does foundation repair cost in Atlanta?
It depends entirely on the cause. Sealing a single non-structural crack typically runs $500 to $1,500, carbon-fiber straps for a bowing wall run about $500 to $900 each, and push or helical piers to stabilize a settling foundation run roughly $1,200 to $2,500 per pier, so a full piering project often lands between $10,000 and $25,000. We give an honest written assessment after an on-site inspection so you know exactly what is needed.
Helical piers or push piers, which do I need?
Push piers are hydraulically driven using the weight of your home as resistance, so they suit heavier, full-size houses. Helical piers screw into the soil with a torque motor and work well for lighter loads, additions, and tight side yards where the structure cannot provide resistance. Both reach past Atlanta's seasonally active clay to stable soil. We spec the right one after inspecting the load, the soil, and access, and an engineer signs off on larger designs.
Carbon fiber or wall anchors for a bowing basement wall?
Carbon-fiber straps are best for walls bowed inward up to about two inches that are not moving much. They bond to the inside of the wall, need no digging, and stop further movement, but they cannot straighten a wall. Steel wall anchors can pull a wall back toward plumb over time, but they need room to set plates out in the yard. We recommend the lightest fix that solves the problem, and an engineer should look at any wall cracked horizontally.
How much does foundation crack injection cost?
Sealing a single non-structural crack with epoxy or polyurethane typically runs $500 to $1,500 in the Atlanta area, depending on the length, width, and access. Epoxy is used for structural cracks because it welds the concrete back together, while flexible polyurethane is used to stop water in cracks that may still move slightly. Hairline cosmetic cracks cost less, and we will tell you honestly whether a crack is cosmetic or structural.
What is mudjacking or foam lifting, and when do you use it?
Both raise a slab that has settled, such as a sunken garage floor, walkway, patio, or driveway section. Mudjacking pumps a cement slurry under the slab to lift it and runs about $3 to $8 per square foot. Polyurethane foam lifting injects an expanding foam that raises the slab in minutes and cures fast, usually $5 to $25 per square foot. They fix a settled slab, not a settling house foundation, which needs piers instead.
Do I need a structural engineer for foundation repair?
Not always. Sealing a cosmetic crack does not, but you should bring in an independent structural engineer for wide horizontal or stair-step cracks, any piering or underpinning, walls bowing more than an inch or two, before buying or selling a home with foundation issues, or when the county requires stamped drawings for the permit. An engineer gives you a neutral repair plan, and we are glad to work from one.
Does Georgia's red clay soil cause foundation problems?
Yes, it is the main driver here. Metro Atlanta sits on Piedmont red clay that swells when wet and shrinks in drought. That seasonal swell-and-shrink cycle puts uneven pressure under footings and slabs and is a common cause of settlement and cracking in Johns Creek, Alpharetta, and across North Fulton. Good drainage, grading water away from the house, and consistent soil moisture all reduce the movement, which is why we address drainage as part of the repair.
Are your foundation repairs warrantied, and does the warranty transfer?
Yes. Our structural repairs come with transferable warranties, so if you sell the home the coverage passes to the new owner, which protects your resale value. We put the scope and the warranty in writing before any work starts, and we never use scare tactics to sell a repair you do not need.
Can foundation cracks be dangerous?
Hairline cracks are often cosmetic, but widening, horizontal, or stair-step cracks can signal structural movement. It is always worth a professional look to be sure.
