Foundation, crawl space and concrete leveling in Wilmington, NC

It behaves differently from the clay found farther inland. The USDA sample inside Wilmington is sandy, mostly Seagate, Leon and Baymeade, with a low rating for swelling and shrinking, so it barely swells or shrinks. Near the coast the water table sits high, and saturated sand can carry less weight under a footing and can wash out from under a slab. Our inspector looks at the soil, the water around the home and the foundation before recommending a repair.

About 60.2 inches of precipitation a year, under NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for Wilmington International Airport, roughly 4 miles from the middle of the city. Snow is rare there, about 0.9 inches a year, and the station logs about 37 days a year with a low of 32 degrees or colder.

By the Census count, the median Wilmington home dates from 1987. The 1990s added more homes than any other decade, 9,756 of them, and about 23,818 homes, close to half the city's housing, were built before 1980.

Every neighborhood inside the Wilmington city limits, including Landfall, Mayfaire, Pine Valley Estates, Forest Hills and the Historic District, is served from our Metro Circle office. Ogden and Porters Neck, north of the city along Market Street, are separate communities, and the same office serves them.

Yes. We raise settled sidewalks, patios, pool decks, garage floors and steps, and each job begins with a free inspection to find out what moved the slab. Our Wilmington office added concrete lifting and leveling in July 2026.

Our inspectors plan each coastal repair around the conditions that shape it: how wet the ground under the home stays, how firmly that ground holds the footings and any slab, and signs of corrosion from salt air. They check those along with the foundation, the crawl space and the framing.

There is no single price. The cost depends on what the inspection finds, such as the size of the area, access, and the cause behind the problem. The free inspection ends with a written estimate that spells out the method, scope, and price. Financing is available, and your inspector can go over the options with you when you get your written estimate.
