Local know-how
Why foundations move in Northern Virginia
Northern Virginia has some of the most problematic soils in the region. Parts of Fairfax County and neighboring areas contain shrink-swell clays, sometimes called marine clay, that expand dramatically when wet and lose strength on slopes. Fairfax County identifies these problem soils on its soil maps because of the damage they can do to foundations.
Many homes built from the 1950s to the 1980s have block basement walls that crack or bow under the pressure of wet clay, and walk-out basements on sloped lots are common. Newer homes in Loudoun and Prince William Counties sit on graded lots where fill can settle.
Local contractors handle bowing wall repair, piers, crack repair and drainage improvements that keep water from building up against the foundation.

FAQ
Foundation Repair in Northern Virginia
Nearby service areas:
How much does foundation repair cost in Northern Virginia?
It depends on the foundation type and how far it has moved. Crack repairs often cost a few hundred dollars, piers are usually priced per pier (commonly about $1,000–$3,000 each) and many homes need several. The contractor you are connected with gives you an exact price after inspecting your home.
What is marine clay in Northern Virginia?
It is a type of highly plastic clay found in parts of Fairfax County and nearby areas. It swells when wet and can be unstable on slopes, which can crack and move foundations.
Can a bowing basement wall be fixed without replacing it?
Often, yes. Wall anchors, steel braces or carbon-fiber straps can stabilize a wall that has not moved too far. A contractor will measure the wall and explain the options.
