Residential Foundation Repair
Specialized solutions for single-family homes address Texas' expansive clay soil challenges. Our patented methods stabilize shifting foundations through pier installation, slab jacking, and soil stabilization techniques. Each project includes a comprehensive inspection, customized repair plan, and transferable lifetime warranty. Technicians utilize ground-penetrating radar and laser leveling systems to ensure precise diagnostics and treatment.
Commercial Foundation Repair
Engineered solutions for multi-story buildings, warehouses, and retail centers combat soil movement through helical piers and drilled shaft foundations. Our team coordinates with property managers to minimize business disruption during repairs. Services include structural assessments, under-slab tunneling, and polyurethane leveling for large-scale concrete slabs. All commercial projects include detailed engineering reports and maintenance documentation.
Concrete Slab Repair
Targeted repairs for cracked or uneven concrete slabs utilize mudjacking and piering techniques to restore level surfaces. We address both visible damage and underlying soil instability through soil stabilization injections and drainage improvements. Our proprietary potassium chloride treatment permanently reduces soil expansion potential. Each repair includes a moisture barrier installation to prevent future water intrusion.
Foundation Tunneling
Non-invasive tunneling creates access beneath foundations without interior demolition. Technicians excavate 36-inch diameter tunnels to install steel piers and reinforce foundation footers. This method preserves finished interiors while addressing deep-seated soil movement issues. Projects typically complete within 3-5 days with minimal landscaping disruption and full structural restoration.
Retaining Wall Installation
Custom retaining walls prevent slope erosion and foundation pressure through engineered drainage systems. We construct walls using interlocking concrete blocks or natural stone with built-in weep holes and gravel backfill. Each design incorporates root barriers and French drains to manage both surface and subsurface water. Walls include integrated expansion joints to accommodate seasonal soil movement.

Questions
How do I know if my foundation needs repair?
Watch for cracks in walls/floors, sticking doors/windows, uneven floors, or gaps around fixtures. Schedule a free inspection if you notice any of these signs.
What causes foundation problems in Texas?
Expansive clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry cause 90% of Texas foundation issues. Drought cycles and improper drainage accelerate soil movement.
How much does foundation repair cost?
Costs vary by damage severity and repair method. Most residential repairs range from $5,000-$15,000 with financing options available through GreenSky.
How long does foundation repair take?
Most residential projects complete in 1-3 days. Commercial repairs typically take 1-2 weeks depending on building size and complexity.
What repair methods do you use?
We employ steel piers, helical anchors, polyurethane injection, and under-slab tunneling. Each method is selected based on soil conditions and structural requirements.
Do you offer warranties?
Yes! Most services include a transferable lifetime warranty, with specific terms varying by repair type and material used.
