Foundation Repair in Collierville, Tennessee
Collierville has grown fast, and a lot of that growth happened on graded and filled lots. Where fill was placed and compacted well, homes are stable. Where it was not, settlement usually shows up within the first five to fifteen years.
We repair foundations, correct drainage, and address concrete and gutter issues throughout Collierville and the surrounding unincorporated areas.
What the ground does in Collierville
Subdivision development here often involved cutting high ground and filling low ground to create buildable pads. A house sitting partly on cut and partly on fill has two different support conditions under one slab, which is a classic recipe for differential settlement.
The native clays behave like the rest of eastern Shelby County — significant seasonal volume change with heavy rain followed by a dry summer.
How homes here are built
Largely 1990s through present construction: two-story brick and hardboard homes on slab foundations in planned subdivisions.

What Collierville homeowners report

- Patio and pool deck slabs dropping and holding water
- Front porch columns going out of plumb
Drainage in Collierville
Newer Collierville subdivisions rely on engineered swales between lots. When landscaping, fencing, or added beds interrupt a swale, water backs up against a foundation that was never meant to handle it. Restoring the intended flow path is often the whole fix.

Crawl space work here is mostly limited to older properties near the square, where vented crawls with original wood framing need moisture control and joist repair.
