Honest answers
Diagnosis first. Only the repairs you need.
We find the actual cause
At Foundation Worx we repair foundations but also look at what caused the problem to occur. Often what caused the problem is as important as the solution.
Not every crack needs fixing
All structures settle. Many concrete cracks are from shrinking or shifting concrete and are nothing more than cosmetic issues.
No upselling
We present solutions, not a one size fits all system. In many cases we recommend monitoring a situation rather than writing a bid proposal.

Why Foundation Worx
Decades of Construction Experience. Solutions Built on What Works.
Our team brings decades of hands-on construction experience across residential and commercial work: foundation stabilization, basement wall repair, waterproofing and structural repairs. We rely on practical problem-solving and proven installation methods, using manufacturer-certified systems such as Chance helical piers.
Foundation Worx started in 2012 to create a better way to serve customers with foundation problems. Most companies were either underpinning contractors or waterproofing contractors. Very few provided both, and even fewer looked at the root cause of the problem.
- We focus on being a consultant that presents solutions, not a one size fits all approach.
- In many cases we recommend monitoring a situation rather than writing a bid proposal.
- We partner with you to offer solutions that meet your budget.
- We are local. Our people, our distributors and our office are local.

From our customers
What homeowners say
I’ve had two different waterproofing companies try to fix my problem and neither of them took the time to truly diagnose the issue, until I called Foundation Worx. Not only did they diagnose the issue quickly, they repaired it within a week.
We had 4 floods in our basement and garage and had multiple people come check it out. Jonathan was the only one that I felt like was there to truly solve the problem and not just sell me something… The price was fair and now I have a dry basement.
From the beginning, they were honest and reliable. They explained the issues and discussed the solutions with us. Their work is solid and they're a pleasure to work with, very professional.
Foundation Worx did an outstanding job developing and implementing a solid solution for a very complex foundation and retaining wall issue we experienced… They left the job site clean and finished the work on time.
Excellent and professional. The crew showed up early, immediately got to work, and answered all my questions about the job. Contract was clear and concise and I knew exactly what I was paying for.
From the beginning of the work to the end was truly a great experience. They kept me informed of everything that was being done to the basement.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about inspections, cracks, repairs and how we work. Have a different question? Call us or send the form with photos.
Does every foundation crack need to be repaired?
No. All structures settle, so a small crack in sheet rock, brick, block or a poured concrete wall is not necessarily a foundation problem. Many concrete cracks come from shrinking or shifting concrete and are cosmetic. Warning signs include cracks getting wider, one side of a slab raised or settled, stair-step cracking and horizontal cracks in basement walls.
Will you always recommend a repair?
No. We focus on being a consultant that presents solutions, not a one size fits all approach. In many cases we recommend monitoring a situation rather than writing a bid proposal.
What happens when you come out to evaluate my home?
We ask about you and your house: what is your need and what do you want done? We look for excessive movement and historical movement, and for the root cause of the problem so the repair addresses it.
How much will my repair cost?
Every job is priced individually, after we understand what is actually causing the problem. Depth of piers, access, wall height and the condition of the structure all change the scope, so we do not publish price lists. You receive a written proposal for only the work your home needs.
Should I hire a structural engineer?
When in doubt, hire a structural engineer to make the call on what is a problem and what is not. We can point you to residential structural engineers in the Atlanta area.
Do you handle both foundation repair and waterproofing?
Yes. Foundation Worx was started as a full service foundation repair company: lifting and stabilizing foundations, multiple methods to repair basement walls, and waterproofing and interior drain systems. When waterproofing is not the right solution we can provide drainage options.
Can I send photos or reports before you visit?
Yes. Every inquiry form accepts photos, inspection reports and engineering reports (JPG, PNG, WEBP or PDF).
What warranty comes with underpinning and tiebacks?
Our underpinning and tieback lines carry a Life of the Structure warranty and a 30 year manufacturer’s product warranty. Details and conditions are on our Residential Warranty page.
What areas do you serve?
Metro Atlanta, including Atlanta, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Marietta, Roswell, Alpharetta, Duluth, Norcross, Stone Mountain, Lilburn, Tucker and Lawrenceville. We also travel to Rome, Lake Oconee and Athens for some services.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, financing options are available. Offerings change occasionally and must be discussed with your estimator before job acceptance.
