Soil Settlement and Shifting
Soil settling or shifting under your home can damage foundations. Moisture changes, poor soil, or nearby construction may cause cracks, sloping floors, or structural weakness.
Poor Soil Compaction
Poor soil compaction during construction can create weak zones under your foundation. Over time, these voids cause uneven settlement, leading to cracks and visible damage.
Excessive Moisture
Excess water around your home can damage foundations. Rain, leaks, or poor drainage saturate soil, creating pressure that causes cracks, shifting, or bowing walls.
Inadequate Drainage
A faulty drainage system lets water accumulate near your home, eroding soil and increasing pressure on the foundation, causing settlement, wall cracks, and potential basement flooding.
Exceeding Foundation Load Capacity
When a foundation bears more weight than it was designed for, structural stress occurs. Overloading can lead to cracks, sagging floors, and long-term damage to your home.
Tailored Foundation Repair Solutions for Every Home
No two homes face the same foundation issues. Founders Waterproofing delivers customized repair solutions using proven systems and quality workmanship designed to provide long-term stability and protection.
We offer a variety of foundation repair services, each tailored to address your home’s unique needs, ensuring lasting stability, safety, and structural integrity.
Push Piers
Grip-Tite Push Pier System is the trusted solution for homes experiencing settlement. Heavy-duty steel tubes are hydraulically driven deep into stable soil or bedrock, transferring your house’s weight onto secure layers below. This provides lasting stabilization, preventing further sinking or cracking.
Helical Piers
When soil beneath your home can’t handle the load, helical piers offer a proven way to reinforce foundations. Helical plates are screwed into the ground like giant screws, securing your house to more stable soil. Ideal for new homes, lightweight structures, or areas with known weak soil.
Wall Anchors
Our wall anchor system restores strength to bowing, leaning, or cracked basement walls. Anchors are installed by extending from your basement walls into stable soil, where they are secured by heavy-duty exterior anchors and connected to interior steel plates. Over time, they can be tightened to help straighten your walls while permanently stabilizing them.

Foundation problems worsen over time. Small cracks can lead to uneven floors, sticking doors, or basement water issues, making early repair essential to protect your home.
