Common Problems

## Sound Familiar?

These four problems account for nearly every call we take in metro Atlanta. All four trace back to the same cause: expansive Piedmont red clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry.

foundation

### Cracks that keep growing

Stair-step cracks in brick, gaps at door frames, and separating trim usually mean one part of the footing has dropped further than the rest.

Piers carry the load down to stable strata so the movement stops instead of being patched over.

water\_drop

### Water in the basement after every storm

Saturated red clay presses against your walls and floor. That hydrostatic pressure pushes water through cove joints, cracks, and porous block.

Interior drainage relieves the pressure and routes water to a sump instead of your floor.

humidity\_high

### Musty air and a damp crawl space

A vented crawl space in Georgia pulls humid summer air under your house, where it condenses, feeds mold, and rises into your living space.

A sealed CrawlSeal barrier plus dehumidification holds humidity at a level where mold cannot take hold.

foundation

### Sloping floors and sunken concrete

Bouncy floors point to failing joists or girders. Sunken driveways and patios point to voids where fill soil washed out or compacted.

Support jacks level the floor system, and PolyRenewal fills the void and lifts the slab back to grade.

We start with a proper diagnosis, then recommend the least invasive fix that actually solves it.

Our Services

## Five Trades, One Water and Structure Plan

Most Atlanta homes need more than one of these. Water that is not routed away from the footings becomes hydrostatic pressure in the basement, humidity in the crawl space, and settlement under the slab. We fix the chain, not just the symptom you noticed first.

Why Choose Us

## Why Atlanta Homeowners Call Basement Waterproofing Atlanta

Georgia's expansive Piedmont red clay swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries. That seasonal movement is behind most of the cracked walls, sticking doors, and sloping floors in the metro. Here is what makes our repairs hold.

### Transferable warranty

Structural repairs carry a nationally backed life-of-structure warranty that transfers to the next owner. When you sell, the buyer inherits the protection, which turns a past foundation repair from a red flag at closing into a documented asset.

### Systems built for red clay

PolyRenewal polyurethane, CrawlSeal vapor barriers, and GutterShutter covered gutters are proprietary systems we install every week in Georgia soil. They are chosen for how expansive Piedmont red clay behaves, not for what is cheapest to stock on a truck.

### Inspectors, not sales reps

The person at your door is a certified field inspector whose job is diagnosis. They measure, photograph, and explain what is happening. There is no pressure to sign on the spot and no scare tactics about your home falling down.

### 31+ years in Greater Atlanta

We have worked this soil since 1995, through drought summers and record-rain springs. That history means we know how a Kirkwood bungalow crawl space behaves differently than a graded pad in Alpharetta.

### Two local branches

Marietta covers Cobb and North Atlanta. East Point covers South Fulton and South Atlanta. Crews are dispatched locally, so scheduling and follow-up go through people who work in your area, not a national call center.

### Transparent, project-based pricing

You get a full breakdown before any work starts: what is being installed, why, and what it costs. No hourly surprises, no change-order games, and flexible financing when a repair lands at an inconvenient time.

The Difference

## Modern Repair Systems vs. the Old Way

A lot of Atlanta homeowners have seen the invasive version of this work. Proprietary systems and a diagnosis-first process change what a repair day actually looks like.

| What Matters | Our Approach | Traditional Repair |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Who shows up | Certified field inspector, diagnosis-focused | Often a commissioned sales rep |
| Concrete lifting | PolyRenewal polyurethane injection, done in hours | Heavy mudjacking slurry or full slab replacement |
| Crawl space moisture | Sealed CrawlSeal barrier plus dehumidification | Left vented, humidity untreated |
| Warranty | Nationally backed, transfers to the next owner | Often non-transferable or limited |
| Pricing | Transparent, project-based, in writing | Vague estimates, change-order surprises |

Local branches: Marietta and East Point

Those numbers come from three decades of working the same soil. Piedmont red clay swells after a storm and shrinks in a dry August, and that cycle is what pushes Atlanta footings out of level. Knowing how a specific neighborhood's soil behaves is the difference between a repair that holds and one that moves again next season.

Not every foundation crack needs piers. Here is when epoxy or polyurethane injection is the right fix, and when a crack is telling you something bigger.

Got Questions?

## Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we answer most often on the phone and at the kitchen table.

### Do you really offer a free inspection?

expand\_more

Yes. Every project starts with a free, no-obligation in-home inspection performed by a certified field inspector, not a commissioned salesperson. They diagnose the cause, explain your options, and provide transparent, project-based pricing.

### Is the warranty transferable if I sell my home?

expand\_more

Yes. Our structural repairs are backed by a nationally supported, fully transferable life-of-structure warranty that passes to the next owner when you sell, which is a strong selling point at closing.

### Why do so many Atlanta homes have foundation problems?

expand\_more

Georgia's expansive Piedmont red clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That seasonal movement stresses footings and causes differential settlement, the root of most cracked walls, sticking doors, and sloping floors in the metro area.

### How much does foundation or waterproofing work cost?

expand\_more

Pricing is project-based and set after the free inspection, because it depends on soil conditions, the extent of settlement, and the repair method chosen. We provide transparent breakdowns and flexible payment and financing options.

### Do you serve my area around Atlanta?

expand\_more

We serve Greater Atlanta, North Georgia, and South Atlanta from two branches in Marietta and East Point, covering Cobb, Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, and Clayton counties, including Marietta, Roswell, Decatur, Peachtree Corners, and Jonesboro.

### What are your hours?

expand\_more

Customer care is available seven days a week: Monday to Friday 7 am to 11 pm, Saturday 8 am to 11 pm, and Sunday 10 am to 11 pm EST, so you can schedule an inspection when it works for you.

### How is PolyRenewal different from mudjacking?

expand\_more

PolyRenewal injects lightweight, high-density polyurethane through small ports to fill voids and lift concrete in hours, then cures fast. It is cleaner, faster, and longer-lasting than heavy, messy mudjacking slurry.

### Should my crawl space be encapsulated or vented?

expand\_more

In Georgia's humid climate, venting pulls in moist air that fuels mold and wood rot. A sealed, encapsulated crawl space with a vapor barrier and dehumidifier controls humidity, protects joists, and improves the air upstairs.

### Still have questions?

A certified inspector can look at your home and answer them in person. The inspection is free and there is no obligation.
