Our company has three divisions of service: Structural Foundation Repair, Crawl Space/Basement Waterproofing, and Masonry/Concrete Services. We have a highly trained staff for each division that specializes in their area of work.

Structural Foundation Repair
For foundation repair, we are always looking for new and innovative ways to prevent and repair foundation failure. We have a wide selection of underpinning products that can be used on all types of foundations. If you notice bowing walls, sloping floors, leaning chimneys, foundation cracks, or doors and windows that stick, you may be experiencing foundation failure.

Crawl Space/Basement Waterproofing
Crawl spaces and basements in Virginia are prone to seepage and flooding. If you have a wet or leaking crawl space, Atlas Master Companies offers a variety of drainage solutions for your home. Our experts can help you decide if you need interior/exterior drainage, a sump pump system, flood vents, or dehumidifiers. We have an installation team that is ready to serve you.

Masonry/Concrete Services
Atlas Master Companies is your concrete and masonry specialist in Virginia. Our skilled craftsmen can design and build custom fireplaces, outdoor patios, retaining walls, and other stonework. We can also repair any existing masonry or concrete slabs on your property.

Common Foundation Problems

If you live in the Hampton Roads or the Virginia Beach area, you may have experienced problems with your foundation without even knowing it. Many signs of foundation failure can be subtle and may not seem like a big deal. However, even the smallest cracks or misalignment can indicate that there is a bigger issue occurring underneath the surface. Have you noticed cracks in your drywall or doors and windows that won’t quite close all the way? Perhaps you have even seen cracks in your brickwork or concrete foundation. All of these things indicate that you might be in need of foundation repair. Be sure to look out for the following signs:

Interior of Home

• Cracks in drywall
• Uneven floors
• Doors and windows that stick
• Cracks in floor or tile
• Trim or molding misaligned
• Torn or wrinkled wallpaper
• Ceiling stains or cracks

Exterior of Home

• Gaps around doors and windows
• Cracks in foundation
• Cracks in the bricks
• Fascia board pulling away
• Chimneys are tilting or leaning

Garage

• Separation from door
• Wall rotating out
• Cracks in the brick
• Cracked slab

Basement

• Bowing basement walls
• Cracks in the concrete walls
• Water seepage
• Cracked concrete floor

Causes of Foundation Failure: Why is it happening?

Most foundation problems can be attributed to nature itself, which can cause shifting and settling in the foundation over time.

Hot and dry conditions cause the soil underneath your home to pull away from your foundation, which can create cracks throughout your foundation slab. Wet and rainy conditions will alternatively cause the soil to expand and push against your foundation walls. This process can cause your foundation to shift and settle into the ground.

Imbalanced soil conditions are not the only thing that can cause foundation issues. Your foundation may become uneven due to overgrown tree roots, plumbing leaks, swimming pool leaks, improper drainage, or poor site preparation when your home was first built.

Foundation Repair Solutions

Whatever issues you may be facing, Atlas Master Companies can help get your foundation back to normal. Using the correct foundation repair system can counteract the above conditions. Steel piers and helical piers can be the solution if your basement or foundation is cracking, bowing, or has settled in any way.

Atlas Master Companies can help you protect your largest asset with the highest quality piering and basement wall repair products. Our professional contractors and local underpinning experts can install elite foundation repair products designed and engineered to perform. With our guaranteed products and life-long solutions, repairing your foundation will be an investment that you will not regret.
