What Is Foundation Replacement?
Foundation replacement involves removing the existing damaged foundation and installing a new, reinforced concrete foundation system. This comprehensive replacement for foundation issues addresses severe structural problems including extensive cracking, settlement, and deterioration that cannot be resolved through repair alone.

This permanent solution eliminates ongoing foundation problems and brings your home up to current building codes.
Signs You Need Foundation Replacement
• Crumbling concrete – weak, flaking, or sandy texture means the structure has lost strength.
• Bowing or leaning walls – pressure from soil or water has pushed the foundation out of alignment.
• Large or widening cracks – cracks over ¼” or growing over time show active structural movement.
• Rebar corrosion – rusting steel expands and causes concrete to split or break apart.
• Repeated water damage – ongoing moisture issues are breaking down concrete and soil support.
Our Foundation Replacement Process
Here’s how we do foundation replacement:
Comprehensive Structural Assessment
Every foundation replacement begins with a detailed on-site inspection.
- Our team evaluates the existing foundation’s condition, identifies signs of settlement, cracking, or deterioration, and determines the scope of work required.
- If structural design is needed, we connect homeowners with trusted licensed engineers who prepare the foundation plans and structural calculations.
- Once stamped plans are complete, we take care of the
permit submission process directly with the city to keep the project moving efficiently.
ENGINEERING & PLAN COORDINATION
We specialize in executing engineered foundation replacements, not designing them.
Here’s how our process works:
- We provide homeowners with up to three trusted engineers to choose from — or, if you already have stamped plans, we can start there.
- The homeowner hires and pays the engineer directly for transparency.
- Once the engineer provides a stamped foundation plan, we handle the permit submission and coordinate directly with the city for approval.
- Please note: Without final engineered plans, we can only provide a rough estimate based on general conditions. A detailed, accurate bid is prepared once the engineered drawings and specifications are complete.
Once permits are issued, our crew begins demolition, excavation, and reconstruction — following the engineer’s plans precisely to ensure full compliance and lasting structural integrity.
Professional Replacement for Permanent Results
The replacement of foundation begins with careful home support and shoring to maintain structural integrity during work. Our team systematically removes the old foundation, excavates to proper depth, and prepares the subgrade. We then install reinforced concrete footings and walls, ensuring proper curing and waterproofing for maximum durability.

Precise leveling and load transfer techniques ensure your home sits perfectly on its new foundation.
