Foundation help across Richmond and nearby counties

Richmond has some of the oldest homes in Virginia and some of the newest. City neighborhoods like the Fan and Church Hill are full of brick homes built more than a century ago, many on crawl spaces. In Henrico and Chesterfield, many newer homes sit on concrete slabs. About 86 percent of new homes in the South Atlantic region were built on a slab in 2024.

Each kind of house shows trouble in its own way. Old homes tend to have damp crawl spaces, sagging floors and worn mortar. Newer homes tend to have slab cracks and settled corners. Wherever you live, the free inspection looks at your house, your soil and your drainage.

The Fan, VA

The Fan was mostly built between 1890 and 1930 and is one of the largest groups of intact Victorian era homes in the country. Old brick homes here often need mortar repair, crawl space support and water carried away from the walls.

Museum District, VA

The Museum District, listed as the West of the Boulevard Historic District, is mostly two-story brick townhouses built from 1910 to 1930. A century of rain on brick and lime mortar makes repointing and crack repair common calls here.

Church Hill, VA

Church Hill holds the most homes from before the Civil War of any Richmond neighborhood, many from the early 1800s. Homes this old often have soft brick, worn mortar and crawl spaces that have never been sealed.

Shockoe Bottom, VA

Shockoe Bottom sits low by the James River. The floodwall was dedicated in 1994, but in 2004 Tropical Storm Gaston flooded the area with rain, and about 20 blocks were declared unlivable. Drainage and moisture control matter more here than almost anywhere in the city.

Ginter Park, VA

Ginter Park on the Northside was laid out as a streetcar suburb starting in 1888, and most lots were built on by the 1930s. Large older homes on big lots with mature trees often need crawl space support and gutter fixes.

Woodland Heights, VA

Woodland Heights, south of the James, is the oldest of three neighborhoods built along an early trolley line, with Westover Hills and Forest Hill. Its homes are among the older ones south of the river, so crawl space and support checks are common here.

Westover Hills, VA

Westover Hills was laid out in 1928 with curving streets near the river and was one of the region's first suburbs built around the car. Homes from the late 1920s on are now old enough to need crawl space and support work.

Bon Air, VA

Bon Air in Chesterfield began as a Victorian resort in 1877, and Buford Road is still lined with Victorian cottages. Cottages well over a century old often need new supports under sagging floors.

Midlothian, VA

Midlothian sits on the Richmond Basin, an old rock basin with coal seams, and the area has about 40 historic coal mines. Chesterfield asks for a sealed soils report on every new home, and newer homes here are often on slabs.

Short Pump, VA

Short Pump in western Henrico grew from about 24,700 people in 2010 to about 30,600 in 2020. Subdivisions grew up fast along the West Broad corridor, and Henrico requires soils reports in areas mapped for shrink-swell soil.

Mechanicsville, VA

Mechanicsville in Hanover County had about 39,500 people at the 2020 Census, up from about 36,300 in 2010. Homes of many ages here mean both crawl space and slab calls.
