About Knoxville Foundation Solutions
A plain-language foundation guide written for Knoxville's older houses and limestone ground.
What this site does
Knoxville Foundation Solutions is an independent resource for people in Knoxville who have noticed a crack, a slope or water where it shouldn't be. It explains what those signs usually mean, which repairs exist, and what national cost guides say they typically cost. When you want someone to look, your request goes to one vetted, independent foundation specialist who works in Knoxville, and that person calls you.
Where the information comes from
Housing figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey. Rainfall comes from NOAA climate normals and NOAA's regional climate centers, with event notes from the National Weather Service in Morristown. Geology comes from the U.S. Geological Survey and a published inventory of East Tennessee sinkholes, soils from the USDA's Knox County soil survey, and licensing from the Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors. Prices are national ranges from Fixr, This Old House and Bob Vila, listed on the foundation repair cost page.
