At Vesta Foundation Solutions, we don’t just patch cracks—we address the root causes of frost heave with professional, permanent repair systems:
Helical piers anchor your foundation into stable soils below the frost line, bypassing the active freeze–thaw zone.

✔️ Works in all soil types
Moisture is a key factor in frost heave. Encapsulating your crawl space reduces soil saturation and prevents seasonal expansion.
✔️ CleanSpace® vapor barrier blocks moisture and cold air
✔️ Prevents mold and musty odors
✔️ Protects structural wood from rot
Proper water management reduces soil saturation and minimizes frost heave.
✔️ Interior and exterior drainage systems available

1. What is frost heave in a foundation?
Frost heave happens when moisture in the soil freezes, expands, and pushes upward against your foundation. As the ground thaws, the soil contracts, creating a cycle of movement that can lead to cracks, uneven floors, and long-term structural damage.
2. How do I know if frost heave is damaging my home?
Common signs of frost heave damage include cracks in foundation walls or slabs, sticking doors and windows, gaps between walls and ceilings, and water seepage in basements or crawl spaces. If you notice these symptoms, it’s best to schedule a professional foundation inspection.
3. Can frost heave damage be repaired?
Yes. Solutions like helical piers, crawl space encapsulation, and proper drainage systems address both the effects and causes of frost heave. These permanent repairs stabilize your foundation below the frost line and protect it from future seasonal movement.
