What Carolina Foundation Solutions does

Carolina Foundation Solutions, LLC is a family-owned residential and commercial foundation repair company founded in 2002 and headquartered at 2771 Alamance Road in Burlington, North Carolina. The company serves homeowners and, secondarily, commercial property owners across North and South Carolina, covering 70+ cities including the Charlotte, Triangle (Raleigh/Durham), Triad (Greensboro/Winston-Salem), Upstate SC (Greenville/Spartanburg), Asheville/Western NC, and coastal (Charleston/Wilmington) regions. It is a licensed general contractor in both states (NC GC License #54441, SC GC License #G116311) and employs an estimated 101-250 people.

The company delivers a unified suite of structural and moisture-management services: foundation repair (wall/floor crack repair, settling foundation repair, retaining walls, leaning chimneys, bowing wall repair), concrete slab repair and lifting, helical pier installation, basement waterproofing and repair, drainage/sump pump systems, dehumidifiers, and crawl space repair, encapsulation, and vapor barriers. It also offers deep-foundation and structural work for commercial clients (deep foundations, earth retention, underpinning, seawalls, boardwalks, telecom/tower/pipeline/solar foundations). The technical delivery relies on certified installation of third-party engineered products—CHANCE helical piers (ICC-ES certified), Fortress Stabilization Systems carbon fiber (InvisiBeam), Alchemy Polymers polyurethane foam, and PitBoss/PumpSpy sump systems—performed by in-house trained, background-checked technicians who work alongside independent licensed engineers as required by NC law.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time, project-based service contracts priced by scope and damage severity, ranging from roughly $500 for simple crack repair to $25,000+ for major structural work. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and direct-to-consumer: free in-home inspections by certified representatives, phone (877-770-7050) and online scheduling, with lead generation via a 300+ article blog, local SEO, Google/Angie's List reviews, video, and Facebook. The company monetizes financing as a referral partner of Greensky (48-month no-interest and 18-month no-payment plans) and runs promotional discounts (up to $1,500 off jobs over $10,000). Transferable lifetime and long-term warranties (CHANCE 30-Year Peace of Mind, Fortress lifetime) support the value proposition.
