Six Foundation Services in Augusta
Foundation Repair & Piering
Piers may carry a house on firmer ground. Census estimates (ACS 2024) put about 60% of Richmond County homes as built before 1990.
Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barriers
A vapor barrier and sealing can keep ground moisture out of a crawl space. NOAA normals for Bush Field show 107.3 days a year with measurable rain.
Sump Pumps & Interior Drainage
A sump pump collects water that gathers under a floor and pumps it out. A July 2025 WRDW report quotes Augusta's engineering head on clogged and aging storm drains.
Concrete Leveling & Polyjacking
Concrete leveling lifts a sunken driveway, patio or garage floor. The soil survey sample shows sand-dominant soils at 9 of 25 Richmond County land points.
Drainage & Water Control
Gutters, grading and French drains move water away from the building. The soil survey sample shows 6 of 25 Richmond County land points on frequently flooded floodplain soils.
Foundation Inspection & Structural Evaluation
An inspection looks at the footing, walls, floors, crawl space or slab and the water around the house. Only an inspection shows the cause of a crack or a sag.

Questions and Answers
Which service should I call about first?
Start with the sign that worries you. A crack or sticking door points to repair, wet ground points to drainage, and a sunken slab points to concrete leveling. If you cannot tell, a foundation inspection is a sensible first step.
What if my house has no crawl space?
Then crawl space encapsulation does not apply. Look for small vents or an access door in the foundation wall, or a hatch in a closet floor. Some houses sit on a slab, and Census data does not record foundation type, so an inspection is the way to tell.
Is a sump pump the same as drainage and water control?
No. A sump pump collects water in a pit under the floor and pumps it out, and it needs a place to send that water. Drainage work such as gutters, grading and French drains moves water away outside, and a house may need both.
After a big storm, what should I check?
Look for new cracks, doors that stick and water in the crawl space or garage. The National Weather Service reported 4.29 to 12.02 inches of rain across Richmond County in September 2024. If you see new signs, an inspection can show what is happening.
