Lexington Precision Foundation’s Prime Residential Services
Foundation Crack Repair
Lexington Precision Foundation provides reliable foundation crack repair for poured concrete and block foundations. We address vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and stair-step cracks that allow water into basements and crawl spaces or signal structural movement. We select the method based on the crack: epoxy injection restores strength to structural cracks, polyurethane injection seals active and leaking cracks that continue to flex, and carbon fiber reinforcement stabilizes block walls under lateral pressure. We finish with concrete patching and waterproofing where needed. These repairs help stop moisture intrusion, protect the wall from further movement, and preserve the structural integrity and value of your property for years.
Foundation Piering and Underpinning
Our expertise includes foundation piering and underpinning to stabilize Lexington homes and commercial buildings whose footings have settled into weak or shifting soil, which often shows up as sloping floors, stuck doors, and widening cracks. We install helical piers, push piers, and resistance piers made of galvanized steel, driving them below the unstable soil to reach load-bearing strata, from either the interior or exterior of the structure. Hydraulic foundation jacking then lifts the structure toward its original elevation where conditions allow. Having deep foundations transfers the building's weight to stable ground, helping prevent further settlement and protecting the long-term durability and value of your property.
Slab Foundation Repair and Slab Jacking and Leveling
We provide slab foundation repair and slab jacking and leveling services to correct sinking, cracked, or uneven concrete slabs in homes, garages, and commercial buildings, where soil erosion or settlement leaves voids beneath the concrete. Our Lexington foundation repair specialists fill those voids and lift slabs back toward level using polyurethane foam injection or mudjacking, and we install steel piers to stabilize slabs on grade that keep settling, while structural crack repair addresses heave and monolithic slab damage. Because foam is lightweight and cures quickly, the repair adds little load to the soil and returns floors to use in a short time. Properly supported slabs reduce trip hazards, protect flooring and walls, and extend the life of the structure.
Crawl Space Repair, Stabilization, and Support
Lexington Precision Foundation is an expert in providing crawl space repair, stabilization, and support services that restore the structure beneath homes with sagging, bouncy, or uneven floors caused by failing beams, deteriorated joists, or settled piers. We replace damaged girders and beams, sister weakened joists, and install adjustable steel jack posts on stable footings, while shim adjustments and concrete or masonry pier repairs bring pier and beam foundations back to level. Moisture and wood rot are addressed along the way, so the new supports are not undermined by ongoing damage. These repairs give you firmer, flatter floors, reduce stress on walls and framing, and help your home stay safe and structurally sound for years.
Sinking or Settling Foundation Stabilization
Our sinking or settling foundation stabilization service addresses homes and buildings where uneven soil movement has caused one section of the foundation to drop, leading to cracked walls, sloping floors, and doors and windows that no longer close properly. We stabilize the structure with steel piers driven to firm soil, then use hydraulic jacking to lift and level the foundation where conditions allow, and we repair settlement cracks and realign doors and windows afterward. This correction transfers the load to stable ground, which helps stop further movement. The result is level floors, square openings, and a foundation that protects the value and safety of your Lexington property for years.
Bowing or Leaning Basement and Foundation Wall Repair
We handle bowing or leaning basement and foundation wall repair services that correct poured concrete and block walls that are pushed inward by saturated soil and pressure, which shows up as horizontal cracks, bulging, and leaning. We stabilize these walls with steel wall anchors tied to stable soil outside, carbon fiber straps bonded to the wall surface, and steel beam bracing when a wall needs added support. Each system is matched to how far the wall has moved and to the structure's design. Stabilizing the wall stops further movement, helps prevent collapse, and protects the framing, floors, and living space above for the long term.
Foundation Waterproofing and Drainage Solutions
Our Lexington contractors offer foundation waterproofing and drainage solutions services, keeping water away from basements, crawl spaces, and slab foundations where pooling, poor grading, and hydrostatic pressure cause leaks and soil movement. Our professional builders install interior and exterior French drains, perimeter and footing drains, and sump pump systems with sealed basins, discharge lines, and battery backup, and we apply waterproofing membranes and coatings to foundation walls. Correcting yard grading, extending downspouts, and cutting swales direct surface water away from the structure. Together, these measures keep foundations drier, reduce the risk of cracks and settlement, and protect your property from moisture damage for the long term.
Concrete Lifting and Leveling
We are Lexington experts handling concrete lifting and leveling services for driveways, patios, and walkways, fixing sunken, uneven slabs that create trip hazards, trap water against the home, and make driveways rough to use. We drill small injection holes and pump polyurethane foam beneath the slab, a process known as polyjacking, or use mudjacking with a cement slurry to fill voids and lift the concrete back to grade. Repairs are completed with minimal disruption, and the small holes are patched afterward. Lifting the existing concrete instead of replacing it saves time, improves safety, and restores drainage away from your foundation for lasting performance.
Crawl Space Encapsulation and Moisture Control
We provide reliable crawl space encapsulation and moisture control to protect Lexington homes with damp, musty crawl spaces where humidity from the soil and outside air leads to wood rot, mold growth, and sagging floors. We seal the space with a heavy-duty vapor barrier liner, close off vents and access doors, add insulation, and install a dehumidifier, with drainage and a sump pump where standing water is a problem. This converts the crawl space into a conditioned, dry area. A drier crawl space protects floor framing and beams, improves indoor air quality, and helps your home stay more energy efficient and structurally sound for years.
Our Reliable Commercial Foundation Repair Services for Lexington Businesses
Commercial Slab and Foundation Stabilization
Lexington Precision Foundation provides expert commercial slab and foundation stabilization services that correct settling floors and footings in warehouses, retail centers, offices, and industrial buildings, where differential settlement can disrupt operations and damage structural elements. We install commercial helical piers and push piers to transfer building loads to stable soil, fill voids beneath slabs, and use underpinning and temporary shoring where added support is needed during the work. Floor elevations are then corrected to bring slabs back toward level. Stabilizing the structure reduces the risk of further movement, keeps floors safe for equipment and foot traffic, and extends the service life of your building.
Warehouse and Industrial Floor Leveling
Our Lexington foundation specialists handle warehouse and industrial floor leveling for sunken, uneven, and cracked concrete floors that slow forklift traffic, damage inventory, and create safety hazards in distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and storage facilities. We inject polyurethane foam beneath the slab to fill voids and lift floors back to the correct elevation, and we repair failing floor joints, equipment pads, and machine bases as part of the work. The foam cures within hours, so we can complete repairs while your facility remains occupied and with very little downtime. Level, stable floors protect equipment, support heavy loads, and keep your operations running safely and efficiently.
Commercial Piering and Underpinning
We handle professional commercial piering and underpinning services to strengthen the foundations of warehouses, offices, retail centers, and multifamily buildings whose footings have settled, lost support, or must carry added loads. We install commercial helical piers and piles, push piers, resistance piers, drilled piers, and mini piles to reach deep, stable soil, and we underpin footings and walls with temporary shoring in place, including where nearby excavation threatens the structure. Having this deep foundation support transfers building loads below weak or disturbed soil. The result is a stable, long-lasting foundation that protects your tenants, your equipment, and the value of your Lexington investment.
Retaining Wall Repair and Stabilization
Lexington Precision Foundation’s retaining wall repair and stabilization service corrects leaning, bowing, cracked, and settling walls that hold back soil along parking areas, building perimeters, and sloped commercial sites. Our foundation crew stabilizes walls with steel wall anchors and helical tiebacks tied into stable ground behind the wall, repairs cracks and failing footings, restores drainage behind the wall, and rebuilds or replaces sections that can no longer be saved. Poor drainage is a common cause of wall failure, so relieving water pressure is part of the repair. A stabilized wall protects adjacent buildings, pavement, and utilities from soil movement and erosion, and it stays sound and safe for years.
Parking Lot and Loading Dock Concrete Lifting
Our prime foundation repair services include parking lot and loading dock concrete lifting that corrects sunken slabs at retail centers, distribution facilities, and industrial sites, where settled concrete creates trip hazards, standing water, and rough approaches for trucks. We use polyjacking, injecting polyurethane foam beneath the slab for concrete void filling and lifting, or mudjacking with a cement slurry, to complete sunken slab repair and concrete elevation correction, and we also handle loading dock slab repair, commercial concrete spall repair, and commercial floor joint repair. Releveling existing slabs restores drainage, improves safety for drivers and pedestrians, and returns lanes and docks to service quickly.
Commercial Drainage and Erosion Control
We handle commercial drainage and erosion control services that manage the water that undermines foundations, slabs, and paved areas at Lexington retail centers, warehouses, offices, and multifamily properties, where standing water and runoff wash out soil and cause settlement. We install channel drains, trench drains, French drains, and perimeter drains, correct grading and downspout discharge, cut swales, and repair soil washouts near foundations, then stabilize the soil to keep it in place. Moving water away from the structure protects footings and slabs, reduces the risk of settlement and moisture intrusion, and helps your property stay safe, functional, and durable through heavy Carolina rain.
Commercial Sinkhole and Void Remediation
Lexington Precision Foundation covers commercial sinkhole and void remediation, including compaction grouting and polyurethane void filling services. Our foundation repair contractors repair hidden voids and weak soil beneath warehouses, retail centers, parking areas, and other commercial structures, where washed out or poorly compacted fill can lead to sinking slabs and foundation settlement. We use compaction grouting to densify loose soil and improve bearing capacity, polyurethane foam to fill voids under slabs and foundations, and controlled low-strength material or soil removal and replacement where a larger area needs support. Filling voids and strengthening the ground restores solid support under the structure, which helps prevent further settlement, protects the slab and foundation, and keeps the site safe for people, vehicles, and equipment.
Concrete Slab Replacement and Structural Crack Repair
We provide efficient concrete slab replacement and structural crack repair services for Lexington properties, restoring commercial concrete that has cracked, spalled, or deteriorated beyond what lifting or patching can fix. We repair structural slab cracks and failing floor joints, patch spalled concrete, and demolish and rebuild damaged sections with new reinforced concrete matched to the loads the slab must carry. Replacing failed sections gives loading docks, warehouse floors, and parking areas a smooth, sound surface that supports heavy equipment and traffic, reduces trip hazards, and lasts for years with fewer repeat repairs.
Below-Grade Foundation Waterproofing
Our expertise includes below-grade foundation waterproofing to keep water out of basements, foundation walls, and lower-level spaces in Lexington commercial buildings, where hydrostatic pressure and moisture intrusion cause leaks, damaged finishes, and structural deterioration. Our Lexington foundation specialists excavate and apply exterior waterproofing membranes and coatings to foundation walls, seal cracks, repair failing waterproofing, and install interior drainage with sump pump systems to relieve water pressure. A dry, sealed foundation protects concrete and steel from corrosion, preserves usable space and stored equipment, and extends the life of the building.

Humidity, Crawl Spaces, and Older Homes in Lexington
Many Lexington homes sit on crawl spaces, and Palm Build estimates that roughly 60 percent of South Carolina homes use this foundation type, which makes humid Midlands summers a constant test of moisture control. Vented crawl spaces pull in warm, damp air, and Contracting Business, citing Clemson University specialists, explains that cooling air by 20 degrees roughly doubles its relative humidity.
Palm Build reports that when humidity stays above 60 percent, mold can establish on wood framing within 24 to 48 hours, and Contracting Business notes that some decay fungi can cut wood strength by 60 percent in four to six weeks. Crawl Local recommends keeping crawl space humidity between 50 and 60 percent. Palm Build adds that 40 to 50 percent of first floor air in a home with a vented crawl space originates below. Warning signs include musty odors, sagging or bouncy floors, visible mold, condensation on ductwork, and soft or darkened joists.
Lexington Precision Foundation handles the damage and the cause together, with crawl space repair, stabilization, and support using beams, joists, and jack posts, sagging floor and joist repair through sistering, leveling, and support post installation, and crawl space encapsulation and moisture control. Addressing both keeps the problem from returning and protects the floors, framing, and air quality of your home.

What Clients Say About Lexington Precision Foundation’s Repair Services
"We noticed our floors bouncing and a musty smell coming from the crawl space. The crew replaced the damaged joists, added support posts, and encapsulated the space. The floors feel solid again and the smell is gone. They explained every step and kept us updated."
Melissa Grant
Homeowner, Irmo
"Uneven concrete in our warehouse was slowing forklift traffic and damaging inventory. The team lifted and leveled the slab with polyurethane foam while we kept operating. They finished on schedule and the floor has held up well."
Daniel Whitaker
Operations Manager, Blythewood
"A retaining wall behind our apartment community was leaning and draining poorly. They anchored the wall, fixed the drainage, and coordinated the work around our residents. It looks great, and we no longer worry about soil movement."
Rebecca Holloway
Property Manager, Chapin
Foundation Repair FAQs
Look for cracks in foundation walls or brick, doors and windows that stick, sloping or bouncing floors, gaps around window frames, and water or musty odors in the crawl space or basement. Lexington's clay soils expand and shrink with moisture, and heavy rain can wash out soil, so these signs often appear after wet seasons or long dry spells.
Yes, structural foundation work usually requires a permit from the local building department, such as the Town of Lexington or Lexington County depending on your property's location. Lexington Precision Foundation handles the permit paperwork for you, and requirements can vary by project type.
Usually no. Standard homeowners policies typically exclude settlement, soil movement, and wear over time, though damage from a covered event such as a burst pipe may be included. Check your policy or ask your insurer before you begin.
Yes, if the slab is largely intact. We lift driveways, patios, walkways, and garage slabs by injecting polyurethane foam or a cement slurry under the concrete to fill voids, and the slab can usually be used again within hours. Slabs that are badly broken or crumbling may need replacement.
Yes, in most cases. Encapsulation seals the ground with a vapor barrier, closes vents, and, with a dehumidifier, helps keep humidity in the 50 to 60 percent range commonly recommended to prevent mold and wood rot. It works best after drainage or structural problems are corrected.
Yes, in many cases. Foam injection for warehouse floors and loading docks cures quickly, and work can be phased by area to limit downtime, though heavy piering or excavation may require closing off part of the site.
