YOUR FOUNDATION IS OUR FOCUS – BECAUSE YOUR HOME DEPENDS ON IT

Your home’s safety and stability are only as strong as what it’s built on. Here in Middle Georgia, where the expansive red clay soil constantly shifts with every season, foundation issues are unfortunately more common, and often more serious, than many homeowners initially realize.

At Stapleton Foundation Systems, we don’t just do foundation work; we specialize in it. Our focus is on accurately identifying and fixing the root cause of your structural problems, rather than simply putting a temporary patch over the symptoms. Whether you’ve started noticing worrying cracks in your drywall or feel your floors giving slightly beneath your feet, we are the local team trusted by thousands of homeowners throughout Bibb, Houston, Monroe, and all the surrounding Middle Georgia counties.

We know this soil because we live and work in it every day. We’ve not only seen the problems it can cause, we’ve engineered and built the lasting solutions. Our mission is to make sure your foundation is solid, stable, and secure for the lifetime of your home.

SIGNS YOUR FOUNDATION MIGHT BE FAILING

Not sure if what you’re seeing is actually a big deal, or just normal settling?
These are the most critical warning signs we consistently advise every Middle Georgia homeowner to watch for:

CRACKS IN BRICK, BLOCK, OR DRYWALL

Cracks appearing in your exterior brick or block walls, or in your interior drywall. Pay special attention to stair-step cracks in masonry or any crack wider than about 1/8 inch.

UNEVEN OR BOUNCY FLOORS

Floors inside your home that feel noticeably sloped, uneven, or bouncy when you walk across them.

GAPS FORMING IN YOUR WALLS

Gaps starting to form where your walls meet the ceiling or where baseboard trim is pulling away.

STICKY DOORS & WINDOWS

Doors and windows that suddenly become difficult to open, close, or latch properly, particularly after periods of rain or significant weather changes.

EXTERIOR ELEMENTS SEPARATING

Exterior elements like chimneys, porches, or patios visibly pulling away or separating from the main structure of your home.

MOISTURE OR MOLD IN YOUR CRAWL SPACE OR BASEMENT

Gaps starting to form where your walls meet the ceiling or where baseboard trim is pulling away.

DON’T IGNORE THE SIGNS

If you’re noticing even one or two of these indicators, it’s a strong signal that it’s time to get a professional foundation inspection. Catching these issues early is genuinely the best way to prevent them from escalating into much larger, more complex, and more expensive repairs down the road.

WHAT CAUSES FOUNDATION PROBLEMS IN GEORGIA?

In our area, the primary culprit is, in a single word:

SOIL.

Middle Georgia’s soil is characterized by its significant expansive clay content. This means that when it absorbs water during rainy periods, it swells and expands with tremendous force.

Conversely, during dry spells, it loses moisture and shrinks considerably. This constant, powerful cycle of expansion and contraction creates immense pressure against your foundation and leads to instability beneath your footings.

Other Common Causes of Foundation Issues

Poor or inadequate drainage systems around your home’s perimeter.
Improper grading of the ground, directing water toward the foundation instead of away.
Extended drought conditions that cause severe soil shrinkage.
Inadequate soil compaction before construction, or poorly designed footings.
The natural aging process or original construction flaws in older foundations.

OUR FOUNDATION REPAIR SOLUTIONS

Permanent Fixes for Your Home’s Structural Issues

We stand by the principle that your home deserves a permanent, reliable fix, not just a temporary patch. Every solution we provide is designed for lasting performance, durability, and ultimately, your peace of mind.

Here are some of the proven methods we use to address foundation issues:

STEEL PUSH PIERS

These are heavy-duty steel columns driven deep into the ground beneath your foundation until they reach stable, load-bearing soil or bedrock. They are then used to lift and permanently stabilize sections of your home that have settled. These are considered the gold standard for deep foundation support, and uniquely, Stapleton doesn’t just install them – we design and manufacture our own proprietary pier systems and train other companies nationwide on their use.

HELICAL PIERS

These look like large screws and are drilled into the ground to provide support. They are often ideal for stabilizing lighter structures like porches, stoops, or additions, or in situations where soil conditions make push piers less suitable. They offer immediate stabilization once installed.

SLAB PIER SYSTEMS

For homes built on a concrete slab foundation that is cracking or sinking, we utilize specialized slab-specific pier systems. These are installed from below the slab to lift and level the affected areas, restoring strength and proper alignment to the floor.

CRAWL SPACE SUPPORT JACKS

We install adjustable, heavy-duty steel support posts to reinforce weakened or failing floor joists and beams in crawl spaces. This is an excellent solution for addressing sagging or bouncy floors, particularly common in older homes where moisture may have affected the wood structure.

WALL ANCHORS & CARBON
FIBER REINFORCEMENT

When basement walls are bowing or leaning inward due to soil pressure, we use targeted solutions. Earth anchors installed in the soil outside and connected to interior wall plates pull the wall back over time and prevent further movement. Alternatively, high-strength carbon fiber straps are epoxied to the interior wall surface to provide robust reinforcement against inward pressure.

It’s important to know that we never use a one-size-fits-all approach. Every home receives a detailed,
customized repair plan based on a thorough inspection of its specific issues and conditions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What are the signs that my foundation needs repair?

Common indicators include cracks in walls or ceilings, uneven or sloping floors, sticking doors or windows, and gaps around door or window frames.

Q: Can foundation repairs be done during winter?

Yes, most foundation repairs can be performed year-round.

Experienced contractors have the tools and materials to work even when the ground is frozen.

Q: How long does a typical foundation repair take?

The duration varies based on the repair’s complexity, but many foundation repairs can be completed in just one day.

Q: How do I know which type of foundation repair my home needs?

That’s where our local expertise comes in. Every Macon home is different—soil conditions, foundation type (slab vs. crawl space), and damage severity all factor into the repair approach. During our free inspection, we assess signs of foundation damage such as sloping floors, gaps around windows, stair-step cracks in bricks, or sagging crawl spaces. Based on this evaluation, we’ll recommend the most effective foundation repair solution—from pier systems and wall anchors to full crawl space encapsulation.

Q: Is foundation damage common in Macon, GA?

Yes. Foundation problems are especially common in Macon due to our region’s expansive clay soil, high humidity, and seasonal rain patterns. These conditions can cause the ground to shift dramatically, leading to foundation settlement, slab cracks, bowing walls, and crawl space moisture issues. Homes in Macon built on older or improperly compacted soil are particularly vulnerable. That’s why regular inspections and early detection are key to protecting your property.

Q: What happens if I ignore foundation problems?

Delaying foundation repair can significantly worsen your home’s structural issues. Cracks in your foundation walls or floors can expand, doors and windows may stop functioning properly, and moisture can infiltrate your crawl space—leading to mold, wood rot, and air quality issues. In extreme cases, neglecting a settling or sinking foundation can compromise the structural integrity of your entire home. Investing in timely repairs not only protects your property value, but also prevents more expensive damage down the road.

Q: Will foundation repair disrupt my daily life?

We understand that home repairs can be stressful. At Stapleton Foundation Systems, we minimize disruption by using efficient, non-invasive methods like crawl space jacks, helical piers, and polyurethane injections when appropriate. Most foundation repairs are completed in 1–3 days depending on the severity of the issue. Our crew respects your time and property—we’ll keep the jobsite clean, communicate clearly, and ensure a smooth experience from start to finish.

Q: Do you offer financing for foundation repairs in Macon?

Absolutely. We provide flexible foundation repair financing options to help Macon homeowners move forward with essential structural work.
