Services
Foundation Repair
Our foundation repair services address cracks, settlement, and bowing walls using steel push piers, helical piers, and crawl space jacks. We diagnose structural issues caused by soil movement and implement permanent solutions tailored to Middle Tennessee's geology. Our methods restore stability while preserving property value and safety.
Waterproofing
We install interior/exterior waterproofing systems including French drains, sump pumps, and vapor barriers. Our solutions prevent water intrusion in basements and crawl spaces, addressing mold risks and structural damage from Middle Tennessee's heavy rainfall patterns.
Concrete Leveling
Sunken concrete slabs are lifted using polyurethane foam injection, a fast-curing solution for driveways, sidewalks, and patios. This minimally invasive method addresses soil erosion issues common in clay-heavy soils while allowing immediate use of treated surfaces.
Crawl Space Repair
We reinforce failing piers, repair framing, and install moisture control systems to stabilize crawl spaces. Our encapsulation services with dehumidifiers prevent mold growth and improve energy efficiency in high-humidity environments typical of Middle Tennessee homes.
Retaining Wall Repair
We rebuild retaining walls compromised by hydrostatic pressure or poor drainage. Our engineered solutions for block, timber, and concrete walls enhance property aesthetics while preventing soil erosion on sloped terrain.

Report
We hired Ground Up Builders to fix some foundation issues in our newly purchased home. They installed 10 posts, 2 steel beams and re-adjusted some of the existing posts to re-level our floors. I was very satisfied with the completed project and even more appreciative of the honest communication throughout the process. Jim and his crew went the extra mile to ensure I was 100% satisfied and all of my expectations were met. If we need anymore work done in the future, we'll hire Ground Up Builders!
