What Is Foundation Settlement?
How Soil Movement Can Sink Your Home
Foundation settlement occurs when the soil beneath your home shifts, sinks, or becomes unstable. In the DMV, clay-rich soils and poor drainage are common culprits. Our repair systems address these issues at the root, stopping further movement and restoring your home’s structural integrity.


Persistent water seepage after rain, even with interior systems in place
If you still see water coming through basement walls or floors despite having an interior waterproofing system, it means water is penetrating the foundation from the outside and needs to be stopped at the source.
Sinking or Sloping Floors
Often the result of soil movement and settlement.
Doors & Windows Misaligned
Gaps and sticking frames can signal structural movement.
Chimney or Porch Pulling Away
A common indicator of foundation sinking.
New Homes on Poor Soil
Ideal for stabilizing new construction on clay or fill soil.

What Homeowners Are Saying
See Why DMV Is a Trusted Local Name
Posted on C We had a great experience with DMV Foundation. I had cracks in my foundation, and I called a number of companies. Each company suggested a different answer to the problem and estimates varied widely. I ended up hiring an independent engineer to get an unbiased opinion. The engineer's report tracked what DMV told me precisely. Amazingly, this was also the least invasive and most affordable solution. DMV earned my trust. They were honest, fair, showed up on time and did great work. I highly recommend them.Posted on Corinne Metz Yos and his team really know what they are doing! They inspected our home and told us what we needed. The work that was done looks great and we have no more issues. The team is highly professional, considerate and was flexible with our schedule. They have gone out of their way to accommodate us. You can’t do better than this company!!! They are the best!Posted on Kelly Shoop I had a consultation with DMV at the strong recommendation of my neighbor and they did not disappoint. Yos was thorough, responsive, and very patient with all of my questions, including follow up emails. I particularly appreciated the transparency on cost. Would highly recommend them to anyone in the market for waterproofing or foundation repair.Posted on LaGaye MacDowall Logan was so patient answering all our questions! Great customer service.Posted on Alexsa MacDowall Thankful for this company! Very professional and the office staff is very helpful! Definitely recommend.Posted on Logan Landers Russell was nothing short of awesome! Great service, great information. A++!!Posted on Randy Harding DMV Foundations is an absolute pleasure to work with! As a contractor who remodels homes, I’ve partnered with them on multiple projects, and they consistently excel at diagnosing foundation issues and water problems accurately and thoroughly. They always provide honest, cost-effective solutions and back them up with a skilled team that executes the work flawlessly. Communication throughout the entire process is top-notch. I highly recommend DMV Foundations and will continue using them for all my foundation needs!Posted on Matt Honestly, I am skeptical of home repair contractors generally. But DMV was absolutely 100% fantastic in every way. Water was leaking into my basement and I met with 3 or 4 waterproofing companies. It was clear to me that DMV was different because they were careful before giving their recommendation about how to fix it while the others had the same canned/off the shelf approach that they probably sell to everyone. They came in and did their work as they promised and it fixed the problem. I also contacted them in the middle of the night when I thought I had a gas leak and their response was immediate and excellent. In a market full of pretenders, these guys are serious professionals. I highly recommend them.Posted on Simone It would definitely hire DMV Foundation Solutions again if I need to. They came out and quickly determined the problem and offered a solution. They completed an exterior waterproofing project and it completely fixed the flooding I had in my basement.Posted on John Murphy This family owned business is incredible. Quick and responsive! thorough! helpful! and reasonably priced!
