Foundation Repair in Athens, AL

Review Logo 4.9 (2,778)

The stability of your home’s foundation is directly impacted by the soil conditions in Athens, where expansive clay soil is prevalent. This type of soil expands when wet—especially with the region's 55 inches of annual rainfall—and contracts during dry spells, leading to foundation issues such as cracks and settlement. Homeowners should be vigilant for signs like foundation cracks, doors and windows that stick, or a tilting chimney, as these can indicate underlying problems requiring immediate attention. AFS offers proven foundation repair solutions designed to stabilize your home effectively.

At AFS Foundation Repair & Waterproofing Specialists (AFS), a Groundworks Company, we are committed to providing Athens homeowners with high-quality foundation repair services. Our experienced technicians utilize advanced repair techniques, such as wall anchor systems and piering, to ensure your foundation is secure and stable. With our focus on customer satisfaction and nationally backed warranties, you can trust AFS to restore your home’s foundation and protect your investment from future soil-related issues.

Types of Foundation Damage in Athens

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Athens

Soil Settlement

Shifting or sinking soil under your foundation causes uneven settling, which can lead to cracks and structural issues.

Moisture Changes

Seasonal soil changes, like expansion during wet periods and shrinking during dry spells, put stress on your foundation, leading to cracks and instability.

Tree Roots

Nearby growing tree roots can shift the soil beneath your foundation, causing cracks and uneven support.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure, pushing against foundation walls and causing cracks or bowing over time.

Plumbing Leaks

Plumbing leaks near your foundation can saturate the soil, weakening its stability and leading to foundation movement or cracks.

Temperature Changes

Freeze-thaw cycles cause the soil around your home to expand and contract, which can cause for your foundation to shift and cause damage.

Climate Conditions

Heavy rains or drought can cause soil to shift, leading to cracks and instability in your foundation. Foundation repair restores stability, protecting your home from further damage and ensuring long-term safety.
