Why your neighbors trust AFS Repair

We've earned 188 five star reviews.

"We had some settling issues and asked 3 firms for repair estimates. Though AFS wasn’t the least expensive Jesse spent the time to work up the plan that specifically met our needs and explained what their crew would do. When Dustin and his crew arrived they walked us through what they were going to do, updated us along the way and provided photos and explanations of their work. We had never had this kind of work done before but feel we made the right decision to go with AFS. They were professional all along the way."

Common Causes of your Foundation Problems in Richmond

Soil Settlement

Shifting or sinking soil under your foundation causes uneven settling, which can lead to cracks and structural issues.

Moisture Changes

Seasonal soil changes, like expansion during wet periods and shrinking during dry spells, put stress on your foundation, leading to cracks and instability.

Tree Roots

Nearby growing tree roots can shift the soil beneath your foundation, causing cracks and uneven support.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure, pushing against foundation walls and causing cracks or bowing over time.

Plumbing Leaks

Plumbing leaks near your foundation can saturate the soil, weakening its stability and leading to foundation movement or cracks.

Temperature Changes

Freeze-thaw cycles cause the soil around your home to expand and contract, which can cause for your foundation to shift and cause damage.

Climate Conditions

Heavy rains or drought can cause soil to shift, leading to cracks and instability in your foundation. Foundation repair restores stability, protecting your home from further damage and ensuring long-term safety.
