Is Your Foundation in Trouble?
Catch These Warning Signs
Before the Damage Grows
Foundation problems rarely fix themselves, and left untreated, they often get worse. Cracks, bowing walls, and uneven floors are more than cosmetic. They’re signs your home needs structural attention now.


CRACKS IN FOUNDATION OR DRYWALL
Vertical or stair-step cracks in walls are signs of shifting.
UNEVEN OR SLOPING FLOORS
Uneven floors often point to crawl space settlement, sagging floor joists, or shifting foundation supports beneath the home.
STICKING DOORS AND WINDOWS
Frames shift as the foundation moves.
GAPS BETWEEN WALLS & CEILING/FLOOR
Separation indicates structural movement.
BOWING OR BUCKLING BASEMENT WALLS
Bowing or buckling basement walls are common in older Arlington and Alexandria homes where hydrostatic pressure builds against aging foundation walls.
PROVEN FOUNDATION REPAIR SYSTEMS
CUSTOM FIXES ENGINEERED FOR YOUR HOME’S NEEDS
Homes throughout Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, and surrounding DMV communities often experience foundation settlement caused by expansive clay soils, drainage issues, and seasonal moisture changes.
No two foundations are the same. After a full inspection, we develop a tailored plan based on your soil conditions, foundation type, and structural concerns, ensuring your home’s stability for decades.
HELICAL
PIERS
Helical piers are commonly used throughout Northern Virginia and the DMV region to stabilize settling foundations and transfer structural loads into deeper, stable soil layers.
BOWING & CRACKING WALLS
Bowing or buckling basement walls are common in older Arlington and Alexandria homes where hydrostatic pressure builds against aging foundation walls.
SINKING & SETTLING
Settlement problems in Arlington homes are frequently linked to shifting soils, poor drainage, or aging foundations. Our engineered stabilization systems are designed to permanently halt movement and restore structural integrity.

I cannot say enough great things about Richard, Nicholas and William - the amazing father and son team that came out today to do some waterproofing work in our basement today. They went above and beyond replacing our sump pump. They rearranged piping to make the space way more functional and usuble compared to the original piping. They were so friendly, answered all my questions and left the space cleaner than they found it. 10/10.Posted on Google

We had water coming into the basement after recent rains and DMV diagnosed the problem and fixed it for a fair and reasonable price. Very happy with the work they did and the price we paid. Definitely recommend!Posted on Google

DMV Solutions really helped us out by encapsulating our crawl space beneath our sunroom. The workers were on time and cleaned up very well after the work was done. We are very pleased with the job.Posted on Google

After struggling with a poor work done on our crawl space by a national company and no help to remedy even though we supposedly have a life warranty. We made it a priority to work with a local business. DMV was wonderful to work with, did't pressure us, explained their recommendation and answered questions in a super timely manner. Their quote was reasonable and best of all they didn't try to upsell us.Posted on Google

I am a huge fan of DMV Foundation Solutions. We recently moved into a new home with a list of items that needed attention. Then, after a heavy rain, we discovered another issue: water was flowing into a basement storage area. I called four or five foundation companies looking for consultations and quotes, and DMV Foundation Solutions immediately stood out. They were easy to schedule, responded quickly, and were extremely thorough in evaluating our home. They looked carefully at both the inside and outside of the property, reviewed the full report from our home inspector, and helped us think through how to prioritize the different repairs. The entire process felt collaborative and solutions-oriented. Their pricing was also the best we received, and they offered very supportive financing options. At that point, we were already excited to work with them. Then we met Richard, Nicholas, and William—the crew that completed the work—and they took the experience to another level. We were incredibly impressed by the quality of their work, their communication, and just how enjoyable they were to work with. This is easily the best team we have worked with on any repair or improvement to our home. They know what they are doing, take pride in their work, and consistently prioritize service, support, and finding the right solution. And they are fun and radiate the most positive orientation. I feel fortunate to have worked with this team and would explicitly request them by name in the future. We would happily work with DMV Foundation Solutions again, and I have absolutely no hesitation recommending them. If you have foundation, basement, crawl space, waterproofing, or related repair needs, I strongly recommend giving this team a call and having the conversation. From the initial evaluation through the completed work, they showed up at every phase of our engagement.Posted on Google

Man... the job was projected 2+ days. They finished in one. I was also credited on a first job towards an overall improvement. They showed up on time, neat, and left the premises as clean as when they came. Big thanks to Richard, William and Nicholas for the hard work from DMV foundations.Posted on Google
