Shifting soil, moisture, and freeze-thaw cycles can lead to foundation damage in Fulton County homes. '58 Foundations & Waterproofing provides expert foundation repair services, including pier installation, wall anchors, crack sealing, and structural reinforcements.
Your foundation supports everything in your home—from the floors to the roof—and any weakness in that structure can put your entire house at risk. In Fulton County, common challenges like unstable soil, poor drainage, and freeze-thaw cycles make foundation problems more likely. If left unaddressed, small issues like wall cracks or sagging floors can grow into serious structural damage.
At '58 Foundations & Waterproofing, we help Fulton County homeowners protect and restore their homes with lasting foundation repair solutions. Our foundation repair company is built on decades of local experience and backed by systems that are proven to perform.
Most foundation issues in Fulton County stem from the natural behavior of the soil beneath your home. As the ground absorbs water during rainy seasons, it expands. When it dries, it shrinks. This constant expansion and contraction create movement that puts stress on the foundation, especially near corners, joints, and unsupported areas.
Freeze-thaw cycles during Pennsylvania winters make things worse. As the soil freezes, it pushes upward against your foundation, then settles when it thaws. Older homes in the area are particularly vulnerable, as years of gradual settling or tree root growth can cause cracking and shifting over time. Improper grading or clogged gutters also contribute to damage by allowing water to collect too close to the home.
Foundation damage often begins quietly. You might notice small cracks in your basement walls, ceilings, or floors. Doors and windows may begin to stick or no longer close properly. Floors can slope or separate slightly from the baseboards. These may seem like cosmetic issues, but they are often early warning signs of a deeper structural problem.
In more advanced cases, you might see bowing basement walls or gaps between walls and ceilings. Moisture problems in crawl spaces or basements can also signal movement beneath the home. If you’ve noticed any of these issues, it’s time to speak with a professional foundation repair contractor.
At '58 Foundations & Waterproofing, our services are designed to solve the real cause of your foundation problems—not just cover up the symptoms. Each repair plan is customized based on the condition of your home, the movement of the foundation, and the soil surrounding it.
Helical and Push Piers
We use pier systems to support and, in many cases, lift foundations that have settled due to shifting soil. These piers are installed deep into stable ground and connected to your home’s foundation to provide long-term support.
Wall Anchors and Tiebacks
Bowing or leaning basement walls are often the result of outside soil pressure. Our team installs wall anchor systems to counteract this pressure and gradually bring the wall back toward its proper position.
Carbon Fiber and Steel Reinforcements
When walls begin to crack or weaken, we apply high-strength carbon fiber or steel reinforcements. These materials stabilize the wall and prevent further movement without requiring excavation or major structural work.
Foundation Crack Sealing
We seal foundation cracks using professional repair materials that stop water intrusion and restore strength to the affected area. Sealing cracks early helps prevent more serious structural and moisture problems.
Drainage and Water Control
Water is one of the leading causes of foundation failure. We install drainage systems that redirect water away from the home to reduce hydrostatic pressure and protect the surrounding soil from erosion.
Each service is performed by a certified foundation repair contractor and backed by our company’s commitment to reliable, long-term protection.

For homes that are settling or shifting due to poor soil conditions, pier systems are often the most effective solution. Piers are installed deep into stable layers of soil that are unaffected by seasonal changes. Once in place, they help transfer the weight of the home away from the unstable surface layer and prevent further sinking.
At '58 Foundations & Waterproofing, we install both helical and push piers depending on the project. Helical piers are ideal when installation requires precision or lighter loading, such as near porches or additions. Push piers are often used for larger structural loads and are driven into the soil using hydraulic pressure.
In many cases, pier installation can also lift settled areas of the home back to their original position. Our foundation repair contractors assess the severity of the settlement, the structure’s weight, and soil conditions to determine which system provides the best results. While piers may carry a higher initial cost, they offer unmatched long-term value and structural reliability.
The cost of foundation repair depends on the size of your home, the extent of the damage, and the type of system required. Some repairs, such as minor crack sealing, are relatively affordable. Others, like full pier installation, may involve more time and materials. The only way to know the true cost is with a thorough inspection from a qualified contractor.
