Foundation Repair in Tillmans Corner, AL
Mobile County · Serving Highway 90 / Government Boulevard, I-10, Tillman's Corner Community Center and beyond
Tillmans Corner grew up around the crossing of Highway 90 and I-10 and never incorporated — it's one of the biggest unincorporated communities in Alabama, a broad spread of neighborhoods behind the Government Boulevard retail strip. The housing is overwhelmingly slab-on-grade: brick ranches from the '70s and '80s, then wave after wave of newer subdivisions filling toward Theodore.
That mix makes Tillmans Corner slab country, and slab country here means settlement calls. We handle them start to finish: piers under settled corners, foam lifting for dropped driveways and garage aprons, and the drainage corrections that stop it happening again.
Flat land, slow water
Most of Tillmans Corner is flat — which sounds like good building ground until you watch it after a summer storm. Water that can't run off soaks in, and lots without deliberate grading hold it against the slab. The '70s and '80s ranches were built before anyone thought hard about residential drainage, so forty years of soaked-then-dry cycles have left plenty of them with a low corner and a cracked brick line over the garage.
The newer subdivisions have a different version of the same problem: builders graded the lots correctly on day one, but settling fill, added patios, and re-landscaped beds undo the slope over time. When a homeowner tells us the yard 'never used to hold water,' that's usually the story. The good news is that the fix is often two jobs in one visit — lift and stabilize the slab, then re-route the water so the repair lasts.

Tillmans Corner questions
My garage-side corner is sinking. Is that common here?
Very. Garage corners concentrate load, sit next to the driveway (which sheds water at them), and often have downspouts nearby. A couple of piers under that corner plus a downspout extension is one of our most common Tillmans Corner repairs.
Do you serve unincorporated areas without extra charges?
Tillmans Corner is core territory — minutes from our routes on both 90 and I-10. Same pricing, same free assessment as anywhere in Mobile.
