About Henrico

Why Local Matters

Henrico is one of Virginia's oldest counties — it traces back to the early 1600s as one of the original shires of the Virginia Colony — and it wraps around the city of Richmond on the north and west. It's a large, established county with a huge range of housing: historic homes along the James River, mid-century neighborhoods, and big suburban subdivisions spreading west toward Short Pump and beyond.

That range matters for foundation work. The older homes near the river, some dating back generations, have had a long time to settle and often sit on soils influenced by the river's water table. The newer western subdivisions, built quickly during decades of growth, sometimes rest on fill or disturbed soil that settles unevenly in the first years. Henrico's soils shift from heavier clays in places to sandier ground as you move toward the river.

So a foundation problem in Henrico isn't one thing. A settling crack in a historic river-area home, a leak in a mid-century basement, and a stuck door in a new western subdivision each have different causes and different fixes. We read the home's age, its location, and the soil under it before we recommend anything.
