Foundation Repair for North Texas Homes
Expansive clay soil across the Dallas-Fort Worth area swells and shrinks with the seasons, and that movement ends up inside your home. We take floor elevation readings across the whole slab before proposing a single pier, so the scope follows what the measurements actually show.
Work Included Under Foundation Repair
The right method depends on your soil, your foundation type and what the evaluation finds. No approach is assumed before we have looked at your home.
Steel Piers
Driven to load-bearing depth to stabilize a settling foundation.
Helical Piers
Screwed into the soil, used where access or soil conditions call for it.
Pressed Pile Piers
Concrete cylinders pressed into the soil beneath the foundation.
Slab Stabilization
Addressing settlement and movement in a concrete slab foundation.
Foundation Leveling
Bringing a slab or pier and beam system back toward level.
Crawl Space Repair
Shimming, adjusting and reinforcing a pier and beam structure.
When To Have This Looked At
None of these confirm a problem on their own, but each one is worth an evaluation.
- Cracks in interior or exterior walls
- Doors or windows that stick or will not latch
- Uneven, sloping or bouncy floors
- Separation where a wall meets the ceiling or floor
- Cracks in the slab, tile or brick veneer
- A noticeable slope when a ball is set on the floor
How We Handle Foundation Repair
Elevation Survey
We take floor elevation readings through the home and map where it sits high and where it has dropped.
Cause Before Cure
Those readings get compared against drainage, soil and structure, so the plan targets what is driving the movement.
Scoped Repair
Pier type and pier count follow the survey, and we walk you through the reasoning before any work starts.
Questions About Foundation Repair
How do I know if I actually need foundation repair?
The clearest way to know is an on-site evaluation. Sticking doors, wall cracks and uneven floors are common indicators, but they can have other causes, so a measurement-based inspection is the reliable way to tell.
What does an elevation survey measure?
It measures the relative height of your floor from room to room. Differences across the slab show where the foundation has moved and by how much, which is what the repair scope is built from.
Will the problem get worse if I wait?
Foundation movement often progresses with seasonal soil moisture swings. Whether it will worsen quickly depends on the cause, which is part of what the evaluation is meant to determine.
Do you charge for the estimate?
No. The on-site evaluation and the estimate that follows it are free, and you get the findings whether or not you hire us.
