About Charlotte Foundation Crew
An independent resource on cracks, settling and wet basements, written for Mecklenburg County houses and the clay under them.
What this site does
Charlotte Foundation Crew is an independent resource for homeowners in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County who have spotted cracked brick, a sticking door, a sloping floor or water downstairs. The pages connect each sign to its usual causes, describe how the common repairs are done, and show what national cost guides report for them. The site does no structural or waterproofing work itself. If you want someone to see the house, the request is passed to one independent foundation specialist in the area, who phones you.
Where the numbers come from
Each local figure on these pages comes from a public source: housing age from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey, rainfall from NOAA climate normals, soils from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, storm history from the U.S. Geological Survey and FEMA, contractor rules from the North Carolina General Statutes and the state licensing board, and permit rules from Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement. Prices are national figures from This Old House and Fixr, credited row by row in the 2026 price table.
Getting in touch
The phone number sits at the top of each page, and the request form takes about a minute. Call or send a request any time.
