Troy experiences a humid climate that can create unstable conditions for your foundation. The combination of clay-rich soil and heavy rainfall may lead to soil erosion and decreased support for your foundation, resulting in settlement issues. As the moisture causes clay particles to expand and exert pressure against your foundation, you may notice cracks or bowing walls. Addressing these concerns promptly with foundation repair solutions, such as wall anchor systems and pier systems, is essential to maintain your home's structural integrity.

We specialize in providing high-quality foundation repair solutions and exceptional customer service throughout Alabama.

"Just had AFS's expert team encapsulate my crawlspace.
Kyle Davis, Dboe, and Quinton over the course of 2 days completely sealed and protected my crawlspace from moisture and installed dehumidifiers. Kyle did an exceptional job of keeping me in the loop of what they were doing, and set proper expectations on the timeline in a clear and professional way.
I truly mean it when I say that these men went above and beyond to ensure that my home was protected and cared for. I will 100% be using AFS again for any future foundation needs I have."
Excess water from leaks, heavy rains, or floods can weaken the foundation by accumulating around it, leading to cracks and structural issues.
Expansive Soil
Certain types of soil, particularly those rich in clay minerals, are prone to expansion when wet and contraction when dry, exerting pressure on your foundation.
Poor Drainage
Improper drainage systems can lead to water pooling around the foundation, increasing the risk of water damage and soil erosion.
Tree Roots
Roots from nearby trees can grow under the foundation, causing it to shift or crack as they expand.
Plumbing Leaks
Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.
Climate Conditions
Extreme weather conditions, such as droughts or heavy rains, can cause soil to expand or contract, putting stress on the foundation.
These common causes highlight the importance of regular maintenance and inspections to prevent foundation damage and ensure the longevity of your home.
