September 15, 2025

Your home’s foundation does more than support walls and floors—it protects your family, your property, and your biggest investment. When foundation problems develop, they can quickly compromise safety, cause expensive damage, and reduce your home’s value. That’s why understanding the signs of foundation trouble and knowing your options for home foundation repair is so important. At Anglin’s Foundation & Masonry Repairs, we’ve been serving Georgia homeowners since 1930, and we know what it takes to keep foundations safe, stable, and strong for decades to come. Discover the signs of foundation damage and how our expert home foundation repair can protect your property. 

Why a Solid Foundation Matters

Your foundation is the critical support system for your entire home. When it weakens, you’ll often see the effects in other parts of your house—walls that crack, doors that stick, or uneven floors. If left unchecked, small issues can snowball into serious hazards like basement wall failure, sinking floors, or even structural collapse.

In Georgia, where clay-rich soil expands and contracts with changing moisture levels, foundation problems are especially common. That’s why homeowners across Metro Atlanta—from Acworth to Alpharetta, Roswell, Woodstock, and beyond—rely on Anglin’s proven solutions to protect their homes.

Spotting the Early Signs of Foundation Trouble

Catching problems early makes home foundation repair more affordable and effective. Some of the most common warning signs include:

  • Cracks in brick or basement walls – both horizontal and stair-step cracks often signal movement.

  • Doors and windows that stick or won’t close properly – a sign your home is shifting out of alignment.

  • Uneven or sloping floors – usually caused by sinking or settling foundations.

  • Gaps between walls, ceilings, or floors – especially where the wall meets the ceiling or floorboards.

  • Moisture problems in the basement or crawl space – poor drainage can weaken foundation footings.

If you’ve noticed any of these issues, it’s time to schedule a professional inspection.

Our Proven Foundation Repair Process

At Anglin’s, every project begins with a no-obligation inspection. We don’t just look at the damage—we uncover the root cause, whether it’s soil movement, footing failure, or poor drainage. Once we know what’s causing the problem, we design a custom repair plan.

Our process often includes:

  1. Stabilizing the Foundation – We use advanced solutions like helical piers, resistance piers, slab piers, or reinforced concrete to secure your foundation on stable, load-bearing soil.

  2. Restoring Alignment – Where needed, our team carefully re-levels floors or walls to restore stability and alignment.

  3. Masonry Repair & Reinforcement – We repair cracked bricks, repoint mortar joints, and restore the structural integrity of basement and crawl space walls.

  4. Anchoring & Tie-Backs – For walls under pressure, we may install anchors and tie-backs to strengthen the structure.

  5. Water Management Solutions – Because moisture plays such a big role in foundation failure, we often recommend grading improvements, downspout extensions, or waterproofing to prevent future problems.

Most projects can be completed without disturbing landscaping, patios, or walkways—leaving your home safer and your property intact.
