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:
From the historic brickwork of Yorktown Village to the modern developments along Route 17, foundations here face constant pressure from shifting ground. Your home is likely battling one of these issues:
1. The High-Clay Peninsula Problem: “Shrink-Swell” Cycle
Common in: Tabb, Grafton, and Edgehill. Much of York County sits on dense marine clay. This soil acts like a sponge—expanding when saturated and shrinking during dry spells.
Hydrostatic Pressure: During rainy seasons, swelling clay exerts extreme pressure against your foundation walls, leading to horizontal cracks.
Settlement Gaps: In hot summers, the clay shrinks and pulls away from your footing, leaving your foundation unsupported and causing stair-step cracks in your brickwork.
Common in: Yorktown Village, Marlbank, and areas near the York River. Homes closer to the water deal with high water tables and sandy, porous soil.
The Erosion Factor: High tides and heavy coastal rains flow through the soil, carrying away the fine sand particles supporting your home.
The Sinking Effect: This “washout” creates hollow voids, causing leaning chimneys or sinking corners that pull away from the main structure.
3. The Heavy Home & Hillside Problem
Common in rural hillside homes. Many brick homes in Yorktown are very heavy & were built on sloping hill sides.
The Overweight Effect: Heavy homes that were built with oversized foundations, heavy cinder blocks, or with solid brick veneers can overstress the soils, causing sinking.
The Hillside Effect: Homes that rest on hillsides may be beautiful, but erosion happens more naturally on sloped surfaces. The rainwater water runoff carries away supporting soils and can undermine the home’s foundation.
Permanent Foundation Stabilization Solutions
We use engineered solutions to bypass Yorktown’s problem soils and anchor your home to deep, load-bearing strata.
1. Push Piers (For Heavy Settlement)
Best For: Historic masonry, heavy brick homes, and sinking chimneys. We drive high-strength steel tubes deep into the earth until they reach stable load-bearing soil or bedrock. We then stabilize the foundation and lock it in place.
2. Rebar Reinforced Concrete Underpinning
Best For: Lightweight structures, porches, and irregular foundations. Ideal for the diverse residential architecture found in Yorktown where traditional piers may not be the primary choice. This system strengthens the foundation footprint to prevent future movement.
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: Yorktown Foundation Repair
Q: Is “settling” normal for historic Yorktown homes? A: While some movement is expected, “structural movement” is a red flag. If you see stair-step cracks in brick or doors that won’t latch, your foundation needs professional stabilization.
Q: How much does foundation repair cost in Yorktown? A: Minor repairs often range from $4,500 to $7,000, while major projects involving multiple piers 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 help Yorktown families protect their homes.

“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.”

“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

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.”
