Left unaddressed, they can lead to costly and dangerous structural damage.

At SouthernDry, we provide foundation repair services in Alabama, designed to stop the damage at its source and restore lasting stability to your home. Whether it’s shifting soil, pressure from water-saturated ground, or aging materials, our Certified Foundation Specialists will identify the cause and recommend a tailored solution for your home.

Warning Signs

Warning: These 6 signs mean your foundation could fail.

Small issues today can become major repairs tomorrow. Early detection can save you thousands.

Cracks, sagging floors and visible sloping typically worsen with Alabama clay soil conditions and seasonal weather changes. If you’ve noticed any of these warning signs, it’s time to act before the damage spreads:

  • A diagonal drywall crack by a door frame

    Cracks in walls or ceilings

    Especially diagonal or stair-step cracks, which signal uneven settling.

  • Sagging floor within a home

    Sagging or uneven floors

    If your floors feel bouncy or look sloped, it may be due to shifting soil beneath your home.

  • A man dealing with a stuck or jamming window in his home

    Sticking doors or windows

    Frames that jam or won’t latch are a sign of structural movement.

  • Cracks in a home's exterior foundation wall are a sign of foundation and waterproofing problems

    Cracks in foundation walls

    Horizontal or vertical cracks can point to hydrostatic pressure or soil movement.

  • A tilting chimney detaching from a home's exterior due to foundation or waterproofing issues

    Tilting chimney

    A leaning chimney often indicates that the foundation beneath it is failing.

  • A stair-step exterior wall crack in a home's foundation

    Visible sinking or sloping

    If parts of your home appear to be sinking, that’s a red flag for serious foundation problems.

Not sure if what you’re seeing is serious?

Don’t guess. One of our trained specialists will come give you a detailed analysis of your foundation issues at no cost. Schedule your free inspection and get the answers you need to protect your home.

Why You Can't Wait

Why You Can’t Wait to Repair Your Foundation

Delaying repairs doesn’t just risk your home; it risks your finances. Foundation problems that start small can quickly spiral into major structural issues with expensive consequences.

Here’s what happens when you wait:

  • Cracks Widen and Spread
    What begins as a hairline crack may grow until it threatens the stability of your foundation.

  • Walls Can Collapse
    Bowing or bulging walls signal severe pressure—ignoring them could lead to partial or total collapse.

  • Floors Become Unsafe
    Uneven or sagging floors may result from soil movement beneath your foundation. If left untreated, they can fail entirely.

  • Water Damage and Mold Growth
    A damaged foundation lets water in. That can lead to rot, mildew, and poor indoor air quality, fast.

  • Home Value Plummets
    Buyers are wary of foundation issues. Even if you plan to sell later, those problems will follow you.

  • Higher Foundation Repair Costs Later
    Early repairs cost less. Wait too long, and even a straightforward fix could turn into a major rebuild.

Don’t wait until the damage spreads. A trusted foundation repair company can prevent the problem from worsening and becoming more expensive.

If you’ve been searching for foundation repair near me, now’s the time to act. Don’t gamble with your family’s safety and your largest investment. Birmingham foundation problems only get worse with time.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions:
Birmingham Foundation Repair

Some problems, like stair-step cracks or sticking doors, may seem minor at first. But they often point to deeper structural movement. If you’re unsure, it’s best to schedule a professional inspection. Our Certified Foundation Specialists can tell the difference between cosmetic concerns and real damage.

That depends on your policy. Most homeowners’ insurance plans do not cover damage caused by soil movement or settling, but they may cover damage from a sudden event like a plumbing leak. We can help document our findings if you choose to file a claim.

Most projects take one to three days, depending on the type and extent of the repair. Your Certified Foundation Specialist will provide a clear timeline during your inspection.

In most cases, no. Our work is done from outside the home, in the crawl space, or in the basement. We keep disruption to a minimum and let you know exactly what to expect.

Most of our foundation repair systems are backed by our exclusive Life-of-the-Structure Warranty and Money-back Guarantee. This gives you long-term peace of mind and lasting protection for your home.

Southern Dry was not the cheapest but no where near the most expensive.

My crawlspace was wet, moldy, and just nasty. The insulation was soaking wet and it smelled awful. I called five different companies to come out and give me quotes on what they thought needed to be done. I had quotes all over the board ranging from $7,000 all the way up to $48,000. Southern dry…
