Guaranteed Foundation Repair Solutions in Hampton, VA
We guarantee all of our solutions for common foundation repair problems found throughout Hampton. All of our solutions come with long-term warranties, which transfer with the home if you ever decide to sell. This adds value to the home & helps your home sell for a premium. Some common foundation issues include:
Hampton’s location on the tip of the Virginia Peninsula makes its foundations susceptible to both coastal erosion and the heavy, reactive clays common to the region. Your home is likely battling one of these issues:
Common in: Buckroe Beach, Grandview, Fox Hill, and Phoebus. Homes near the Chesapeake Bay or the Hampton River sit on sandy, porous soil that is highly prone to washout.
The Erosion Factor: Heavy coastal rains and rising water tables can carry loose sand away from under your foundation footings.
The Void Effect: This washout creates hollow voids, causing heavy masonry elements like chimneys to tilt or corners of the home to sink.
2. The Suburban & Historic Problem: “Shrink-Swell” Marine Clay
Common in: Wythe, Willow Oaks, Northampton, and Aberdeen Gardens. Much of Hampton’s inland residential areas are built on dense marine clay that expands and contracts with the weather.
Hydrostatic Pressure: During rainy seasons, the clay swells and pushes against your crawl space walls, leading to horizontal cracks.
Settlement Cracks: During dry spells, the clay shrinks and leaves your foundation unsupported, resulting in stair-step cracks in your brickwork.
Permanent Foundation Stabilization Solutions
We use engineered solutions to bypass Hampton’s unstable topsoil and anchor your home to deep, load-bearing strata.
1. Push Piers (For Heavy Settlement)
Best For: Historic brick homes and sinking chimneys in areas like Phoebus. We drive high-strength steel tubes deep into the ground until they hit bedrock or stable soil, then use hydraulic force to lift your home back toward level.
2. Rebar Reinforced Concrete Underpinning
Best For: Lightweight structures, porches, and irregular foundations. Ideal for the diverse residential architecture found in Hampton where traditional piers may not be the primary choice.
3. Crawl Space Foundation Jacks
Best For: Sagging interior floors and bouncy hallways. If your exterior walls are fine but your floors are unlevel, we use industrial-grade steel jacks to support over-spanned beams, floor joists or failing interior piers.
Frequently Asked Questions: Hampton Foundation Repair
Q: Is it normal for my older Hampton home to have cracks? A: While minor settling is common, “structural movement” is a red flag. If you see stair-step cracks in brick or leaning chimneys, it is time for a professional stabilization.
Q: How much does foundation repair cost in Hampton? A: Minor repairs often range from $4,500 to $7,000, while major stabilization can range from $15,000 to $30,000+. We provide exact quotes during our free inspection.
Q: Do you offer financing? A: Yes! We offer plans with payments as low as $125/month to ensure Hampton families can protect their homes.

Our Reviews Reflect Our Commitment to Taking Great Care of Our Customers
“It was an easy decision to choose Bay Crawl Space over the three other estimates I had gotten—not only was the price reasonable based on my research, but Jamie was the only salesperson who described more than one option that I could choose. The scheduling was very smooth! I am confident that if I have any problems, I can call & they will resolve them.”

“Our experience with Bay Crawl Space & Foundation Repair was outstanding. From first contact everything was smooth and made as easy as possible for us. We were kept informed every step of the process via email, phone, and/or text. The work was top-notch. The cost was extremely reasonable. We were impressed that Bay did not try to sell services that weren’t required.”

“We had our crawlspace encapsulated by BAY three years ago at a fraction of the cost of JES’s estimate. The work was done on time and to exceptional standards. The office has been courteous, the workers arrived on time, and the work was accomplished as promised. BAY gets my highest recommendation.”
– Bob Essman
“Prompt, professional, and honest. I had an independent civil engineer out to inspect prior to the BAY CS&FR visit. I was afraid I might be oversold on repairs I didn’t need. This was not the case. BAY made the same observations and gave same explanations or better. Great job BAY on hiring honest and competent assessors. Very professional, will work with you again!”
– Zachary Frey
“I’m super pleased with the work Bay did us, it made a difference almost immediately. Our service advisor, Beau, did an excellent job of identifying the issues in our crawl and offering reasonably priced solutions. The team they sent out to do the work was awesome. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient!”
– David Green
“After shopping companies and getting several bids on the same project,we chose Bay Crawl because of their reputation and price. They had our whole house leveled and stabilized in two days. Left our property cleaner than they found it with a smile on their face. Do NOT plan your next project without getting an estimate from Bay Crawl.”
– Ryan Simpson
