About Raleigh Foundation Solutions
Plain explanations of cracks, settling and basement water, written around the clay under Wake County houses.
What this site is
Raleigh Foundation Solutions is an independent website for homeowners in Raleigh and Wake County who have spotted cracks, sticking doors, sloping floors or water in a basement. It explains what those signs usually point to, how the common repairs work, and the price bands national guides publish. Nobody here does structural or waterproofing work. If you want someone to look at the house, your request goes to one independent local specialist, who phones you.
Where the numbers come from
Housing age comes from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey, and the share of North Carolina homes with basements from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Rainfall comes from NOAA climate normals for Raleigh-Durham International Airport, soils from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and the NC Geological Survey, storm declarations from FEMA, radon zones from the EPA, and license and permit rules from the North Carolina General Statutes. Prices are national figures from Fixr and This Old House, credited line by line in the price guide.
