Shelby County, Alabama

Common foundation problems in Shelby County include foundation settlement, foundation cracks, and shifting foundation walls. These problems can occur when the expansive soil under the home contains excessive water and swells, pushing on the concrete. They can also occur when the soil dries out and shrinks, leaving the foundation without the necessary support. To determine whether these problems are occurring in your home, look for the following signs of foundation failure:

• Foundation cracks
• Bowing or leaning walls
• Cracks in wall, floor, or ceiling
• Sticking doors or windows
• Sloping or uneven floors

We can repair these foundation issues with one of our high-quality solutions. If your home is suffering from settling foundations, we will install helical piers to lift and stabilize it. If your foundation has bowing or bulging foundation walls, we can pull the walls back into place using wall anchors or helical tiebacks. Call us to learn more about these foundation repair options.

Homeowners often neglect to pay proper attention to the crawlspace of their homes. It is important to pay attention to the crawlspace because moisture problems often arise in this area. Damp crawlspaces can result in mold growth, wood rot, and water damage. These problems threaten the structural stability of your home and can reduce the air quality, leading to health problems.

Affordable Foundation and Home Repair can fix all kinds of crawlspace issues. We offer crawlspace repair solutions such as crawlspace piers, floor supports, and floor joist repair to fix structural issues. We also offer crawlspace encapsulation and mold removal services to get rid of mold and waterproof your crawlspace.

Just like the crawlspace, the basement is also prone to developing a moisture issue. Water can leak through cracks in your foundation, and can even seep through the porous concrete of your foundation walls. The result of this water seepage is a wet or damp basement. Check for the following signs of a water problem in your basement:

• Musty odors
• Damp walls
• Soft spot on walls or floor
• Visible mold or mildew
• High humidity
• Condensation on pipes

We specialize in several types of basement waterproofing – interior drainage, exterior drainage, surface drainage, French drain installation and sump pump, installation to protect your Alabama home. We also offer radon mitigation and testing, crack repair, polyjacking, and concrete repair to keep all areas of your home safe and sound.
