What AquaGuard Foundation Solutions does

AquaGuard Foundation Solutions is a Georgia-based specialty contractor founded in 1995 and headquartered in Marietta, providing residential foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete lifting services across 20+ cities in the Atlanta metro and broader Georgia market. The company delivers solutions through a direct, owned field-sales model in which Certified Field Inspectors conduct free in-home inspections and issue same-day estimates, with production crews installing proprietary systems including SettleStop helical and push piers, BasementGutter interior drainage, AquaStop sump pumps and dehumidifiers, CrawlSeal 20-mil vapor barriers, IntelliJack crawl space supports, IntelliBrace I-beams, carbon fiber wall reinforcement, and the exclusive-in-Atlanta PolyRenewal polyurethane foam injection system, all backed by transferable lifetime warranties.
