Foundation Repairs, Done Right
Many foundation problems come from water: soil that swells and shrinks, soft ground or poor drainage. We excavate beside the foundation, expose the footing and wall, and repair and stabilize with piers, underpinning, wall reinforcement or crack repair, depending on what we find.
We work with structural engineers when the situation calls for it, and we correct drainage and grading so the problem does not return.
Music City Excavation brings foundation repairs to homes, farms and businesses in Nashville and across 16 Middle Tennessee cities.

Walk the Site and Plan
We visit, look at the soil, the slope, the access and the water, and give you a clear, free estimate with options.
Mark, Permit and Prepare
We have underground utilities located, help with the permits and erosion control your project needs and plan where the dirt goes.
Dig, Build and Clean Up
Our crew does the work, keeps the site safe and tidy, restores what we disturb and walks the finished job with you.
Is a crack in my foundation serious?
Small hairline cracks are common, while wide, stair-step or horizontal cracks and cracks that grow need attention. We look at them and tell you honestly.
Do you work with engineers?
Yes. For larger problems we coordinate with a structural engineer and follow their plan.
Will water problems come back?
Fixing the structure without fixing the water often leads to the problem returning. We address drainage as part of the repair.
