Slab Foundations in Nashville, Tennessee
Slab settlement, heave and post-tension cable issues assessed and repaired without guessing at the cause.
Nashville's Foundation Repair connects homeowners across Middle Tennessee with licensed, insured foundation repair contractors for slab foundations. Estimates are free and written, the price is agreed before work starts, and the workmanship is backed in writing.
What the job usually involves
Every property is different, which is why the estimate comes after somebody has actually looked at it rather than before. What does not change is the process: assess, explain the options in plain language, put the scope and price in writing, then do the work to that scope.

What is included
What slab foundations covers.
- Slab settlement and heave distinguished before anything is quoted

- Void filling and slab lifting for hollow areas under the slab
- Post-tension cable location before any cutting
- Plumbing leak testing where heave is suspected
- Interior repairs coordinated after stabilization
Slab Foundations, in practice
Settlement and heave are opposites and they look alike from inside. Settlement is the slab dropping; heave is soil pushing it up, frequently because of a plumbing leak feeding the clay under one part of the house. Piering a heaving slab makes it worse.
Post-tension slabs are common in newer construction and the cables are under enormous tension. Locating them before any coring or cutting is not optional, and a contractor who does not mention it is a contractor to ask more of.
