Excellent work from Queen Foundation Repair! From beginning to end, the crew operated with efficiency and professionalism. Carlos and his team completed the foundation repair project in less than four days, and even our neighbors have complimented the immediate transformation. I highly recommend them for foundation work, foundation repair, and water restoration.

Hi, I had some cracks in my foundation after purchasing my new home and was concerned about them. Queen Foundation Repair made everything a very easy and stress-free process. They came out and repaired these cracks within a day, and the crew, including Dario and Sharon, was very knowledgeable. Thanks very much!

I cannot say enough about these guys — they were a pleasure to work with. Sharon, who was extremely knowledgeable, handled the scheduling, and Carlos and Dario did the assessment and repair of the foundation issues we were having. They answered every question we had, showed up exactly when they said they would, and back all of their work with a lifetime guarantee. Your search for a foundation repair company is over!

I'm very pleased with the results. I can clearly see the excellent work Jason's crew did on our crawl space. His team was friendly and left the property clean. This is the first time I've posted a review because I think people should know about them. Call them when you need crawl space repairs in Albany NY!

The customer care provided by Queen Foundation repair was exceptional. From the first contact to the final walkthrough, they were attentive, informative, and very responsive to my questions and concerns. They took the time to explain the encapsulation process and how it would benefit my home. Their crew was respectful and ensured that the work was completed to a high standard. It's clear that they value their customers and take pride in their work. Our crawl space is now dry, clean, and well-insulated. Highly recommended!

I'm absolutely delighted with the exceptional assessment service provided by Queen Foundation Repair! When I noticed sloping floors in our bungalow, I knew I needed expert help. Scheduling an assessment was a breeze via email, and John arrived promptly as scheduled. His warm and personable demeanor put me at ease, and his expertise shone through as he quickly identified the root cause of our issue.

I reached out to this company about an issue they couldn't handle, but they were very responsive. They did a thorough inspection and gave recommendations related to their specialty. They even provided a reference number for another company that could help with our issue. They're great for foundation repair work, and I'd definitely recommend them.

Foundation & Waterproofing Services in Hickory

Cracked walls, wet crawl spaces, uneven floors — these are signs of a bigger problem underneath your home. Here is how we fix them.

Cracked foundation showing signs of structural damage

Foundation Repair

Settling and shifting foundations cause cracks, sticking doors, and uneven floors. Pier systems and structural reinforcements stabilize the foundation and stop further movement at the source.

Standing water in basement requiring waterproofing

Basement Waterproofing

Water in a basement leads to mold, damaged walls, and long-term structural problems. Interior drainage, exterior membranes, and proper water management keep basements dry.

Steel crawl space jack posts installed on concrete footings

Crawl Space Repair

Sagging floors, soft spots, and deteriorating supports mean the crawl space structure is failing. Beam and joist reinforcement restores structural integrity and stops the damage from reaching your living space.

Crawl space with vapor barrier encapsulation installed

Crawl Space Encapsulation

Moisture, mold, and musty air under the house affect everything above it. A sealed vapor barrier, dehumidifier, and proper drainage turn a damp crawl space into a dry, controlled environment.

Sump pump in a basement pit

Sump Pump Installation

Standing water in a crawl space or basement needs somewhere to go. A sump pump system collects and removes water before it causes structural damage or mold growth.

French drain system installed along foundation

French Drain Installation

Water pooling around or under a foundation puts constant pressure on walls and footings. French drains intercept that water and redirect it away from the structure.

Why Hickory Homeowners Call Queen Foundation Repair

Foundation problems are stressful enough without wondering whether you picked the right contractor. Here is what to expect when you work with us.

Honest Inspections — Not a Sales Pitch

If your foundation does not need repair, we will tell you. Not every crack requires structural work. You get a straight diagnosis based on what we actually find — not a quota. That is how you build trust in a market where homeowners are already skeptical.

Clear Pricing, No Surprises

You see the full cost, scope of work, and warranty details in writing before any work starts. No hidden fees, no change orders mid-job. You know exactly what you are paying for and why.

Repairs That Address the Root Cause

Patching a crack without fixing what caused it means the crack comes back. Every repair plan is based on a full inspection of the structure, the soil conditions, and the water dynamics around your home — so the solution holds.

Common Questions About Foundation Repair in Hickory

Homeowners ask these questions most. If yours is not here, call and ask — there is no cost and no obligation.

It depends on the width, direction, and location. Hairline cracks in drywall from normal settling are common and usually cosmetic. Diagonal cracks running from the corners of windows or doors, stair-step cracks in exterior brick, or any crack wider than a quarter inch often indicate foundation movement. The only way to know for sure is to have someone look at the full picture — the crack, the soil, the drainage, and the structure underneath.

The clay soil in Catawba County expands when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries. That cycle repeats hundreds of times over the life of a house and puts constant pressure on foundations. Most homes here sit on crawl spaces, which are directly exposed to that moisture. Combine that with 49 inches of annual rainfall and humid summers, and you have conditions that wear down foundations and crawl spaces faster than in most markets.

Foundation and crawl space problems are progressive. The soil does not stop moving, and moisture does not dry itself out. A crack that could be sealed today may require pier installation in a year. A damp crawl space becomes rotted floor joists and mold. Waiting does not save money — it increases the scope of the repair. The earlier you catch it, the simpler and less expensive the fix.

A good company inspects the full structure — outside, inside, and underneath — before recommending anything. They tell you what does not need repair, not just what does. They give you a written proposal with specific details, not a verbal ballpark. And they encourage you to get other quotes. If someone pressures you to sign the same day, skips the crawl space, or cannot explain the problem in plain language, move on.

Yes. An exposed dirt floor is the single biggest source of moisture in a crawl space. Ground moisture evaporates directly into the space, raising humidity levels and creating conditions for mold, wood rot, and pest activity. A sealed vapor barrier over the floor — combined with a dehumidifier and proper drainage — stops that cycle. Most crawl space issues in this area start with an unsealed dirt floor.
