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
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.
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.
| Factor | Push Piers | Helical Piers |
|---|---|---|
| How they install | Hydraulically pushed to load-bearing soil using the weight of the house as resistance | Screwed into the soil like a large screw with a hydraulic torque motor |
| Best for | Heavier, full-size structures with enough weight to drive the pier | Lighter loads, additions, decks, and porches, and where the structure cannot provide resistance |
| Capacity is verified by | Drive pressure at installation | Installation torque, which correlates to holding capacity |
| Access and equipment | Needs the structure's weight; compact equipment | Installs with smaller equipment in tight side yards |
| Common use here | Full-size settling homes on Atlanta clay | Sunrooms, 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.
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.
| Factor | Carbon-Fiber Straps | Steel Wall Anchors |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Walls bowed inward up to about 2 inches that are not actively moving much | Walls with greater deflection or that are still moving |
| Can it straighten the wall? | No, it locks the wall in place and stops further movement | Yes, anchors can pull a wall back toward plumb over time as they are tightened |
| Yard excavation | None, the straps bond to the inside face of the wall | Yes, anchor plates are set in the yard away from the wall |
| Appearance | Low profile, can be painted over | Interior 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.
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
