Murfreesboro Foundation Co. repairs the full failure chain Central Basin ground causes: settlement (piering from $1,200/pier), slab movement (from $3,500), cracks (from $400), drainage (from under $500), and sunken concrete (from $500) — each preceded by a free measured evaluation.
Foundation Piering & Underpinning
Steel piers driven to refusal on Central Basin limestone — stable bearing that seasonal clay can't move.
Slab Foundation Repair
Support and lifting for slab-on-grade homes across Rutherford County's subdivision belt.
Foundation Crack Repair
Injection, sealing, and reinforcement for cracks in brick, block, and slab.
Drainage Correction
Managing roof and lot water on ground where thin soil and rock route it unpredictably.
Concrete Leveling
Polyurethane lifting for sunken driveways, patios, walks, and porch slabs.

Why the services come as a set
Uneven bearing doesn't specialize. The same depth-to-rock variation that drops one corner cracks the brick above it, racks the door frames inside, and tilts the flatwork outside. Companies organized around one product sell that product. We're organized around the ground, which is why an evaluation reads the whole chain and the scope only includes the links your house actually needs.
Which repair fixes which failure
| What you see | The ground mechanism | The fix | Typical range | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stair-step cracks, dropped corners, sloping floors | Uneven bearing as clay cycles over irregular limestone | Piers to stable bearing | $4,000–$15,000 | 2 days–1 week |
| Interior slab cracks, doors racking | Fill consolidating over cycling native clay | Perimeter or interior support | $3,500–$12,000 | 2–5 days |
| Cracks widening between seasons | Movement opening paths through masonry or slab | Injection and reinforcement | $400–$1,500 | Hours |
| Water pooling at the wall, soggy beds | Roof and lot water feeding the moisture cycle | Grading, extensions, drains | Under $500–$6,000 | 1–2 days |
| Stepped driveway joints, tilted patio | Backfill consolidating beneath flatwork | Polyurethane lifting | $500–$2,500 | Hours |
Two or more symptoms nearly always share one cause. One evaluation, one scope, one mobilization — that's the cost control this ground allows.
Sequence is the service
Anyone can install a pier. The skill here is ordering the work so it stays fixed: water managed before steel goes in, structure stabilized before finishes are repaired, cosmetics last — once movement is provably over. Our scopes are written in that order with fixed prices per line, and lines the measurements don't justify simply aren't on them.
Service questions
Which service does my house actually need?
The evaluation answers that in about an hour. Stair-step cracks with sloping floors point to piering; interior slab cracks with racked doors point to slab work; cracks alone often need injection; and water at the foundation drives a surprising share of all of it. The evaluation is free precisely so the diagnosis doesn't depend on what we'd like to sell.
Do you charge for evaluations?
No. Photos, crack measurements, a laser floor survey, and a written scope with fixed prices are free across all ten communities we serve — including the visits that end with 'mark it and watch it' rather than an invoice.
Can one crew handle structure and water together?
That's the point of the stack. Piering, slab support, crack repair, drainage, and concrete leveling are one clay problem wearing five costumes — scoping them together is how the repair holds and how you avoid paying two mobilizations for one cause.
