What we fix
What Foundation Repair Problems Do We Fix in Concord?
Bowing Walls
When a basement or foundation wall curves, leans, or bulges, the soil outside is pushing harder than the wall was built to resist.
What this looks likeDiagonal Cracks
A crack running on an angle out of a doorway corner, across a wall, or up through brick is one of the clearer signs that a foundation has shifted.
What this looks likeCracked Block Foundation
When a concrete block foundation cracks, the wall is telling you that either the footing beneath it has settled or soil outside it is pushing inward.

How Does Concord Soil Affect Foundations?
The USDA sample inside Concord is mostly Iredell soil, a brown clay. In a USDA sample of five points inside Concord, three are Iredell, one is Mecklenburg and one is Cecil. Countywide, the most common soil in Cabarrus County is Enon, on more than a tenth of the land, with Cecil, Badin and Mecklenburg behind it. The USDA rates the sample inside Concord very high for swelling and shrinking, which means it swells a lot when it gets wet and shrinks a lot as it dries.
Iredell is a soil that formed in place as darker rock rich in iron and magnesium beneath it weathered, usually found on Piedmont uplands. Its top layer is sandy loam, and under that is brown clay. Loam is soil with a mix of sand, silt and clay. It drains a little slowly, so it can stay wet for short periods in a wet season.
Mecklenburg is a deep soil that formed in place as darker rock rich in iron and magnesium beneath it weathered, usually found on ridges and hillsides. Its top layer is loam, and under that is yellowish red clay. It drains well.
What It Means for Your Home
- What to watchClay in this ground swells as it takes on water and shrinks as it dries, so the soil beside and under a foundation can push in wet months and pull back in dry ones. Over many seasons that movement can crack walls and let one part of a house settle more than another.
- Signs you might noticeLook for cracks in drywall, bowing walls, and diagonal cracks.
- How we address itWe match the repair to what the inspection finds. That can mean push piers or helical piers under a settling section, wall anchors to stabilize a bowing wall, or foundation crack repair.
Soil survey: USDA NRCS Soil Data Access (SSURGO), sdmdataaccess.nrcs.usda.gov. Inside Concord, the survey maps Iredell, Mecklenburg and Cecil series. USDA rates the soil very high for swelling and shrinking (weighted linear extensibility 11.5 percent). Across Cabarrus County, it maps Enon, Cecil, Badin and Mecklenburg series. Series descriptions: USDA NRCS Official Series Descriptions for Iredell and Mecklenburg.
Our approach
How Do We Approach Foundation Repair in Concord?
The right repair depends mostly on what is happening in the ground beneath your home. We diagnose the cause first, then explain the options in plain language.
Depending on what we find, a repair may use steel piers that reach firmer soil under a settling footing, crack injection to seal a stable crack, reinforcement for a bowing basement wall, or lifting a sunken slab back toward level. You can compare every method we install on our foundation repair solutions page.
Every repair starts with a free foundation inspection, so you understand the problem before you decide anything.
Warranty terms, with their conditions, are on our warranties page.

- Stair Step CracksA stair step crack runs diagonally up a brick or concrete block wall along the mortar joints, stepping over and up from one block to the next like a staircase.
- Uneven FloorsFloors that slope, dip, or feel bouncy often point to foundation settlement.
- Sticking Doors and WindowsSticking doors and windows usually start small.
- Bowing WallsA bowing wall is a foundation or basement wall that has bent, curved, or leaned out of plumb under sideways pressure from the soil behind it.
- Cracked BricksCracked bricks are fractures through the brick units, the mortar joints, or both, on the brick veneer outside a home or on a brick foundation wall.
