Foundation problems in Springfield
Springfield, in southeastern Fairfax County, grew quickly in the 1950s through the 1970s, and many homes from that era have block basements. Areas of southeastern Fairfax County lie on Coastal Plain sediments, including the Potomac Formation clays that the county has mapped as marine clay. These clays swell when wet and shrink when dry.
After decades of that movement and of water pressure against older block walls, horizontal cracks, bowing and leaks are common.

Permits and licensing
Springfield is unincorporated, so Fairfax County Land Development Services issues the permits. Virginia requires a DPOR contractor license for jobs over $1,000.
Older block basements
Block walls built in the 1950s and 1960s often lack modern waterproofing and drainage. Repairs commonly combine wall braces or anchors with interior drainage and a sump pump. See bowing basement walls.
