The Foundation Repair Process In Dallas County

Most of our projects start with a phone or a website inquiry.  We offer free foundation evaluation's for all property owners with residential foundations or commercial foundations who are having foundation settlement or upheaval issues. During this initial visit we use a state of the art measuring device called a Zip Level that uses atmospheric pressure to measure and record your current  floor elevation readings to give us insight on where the foundation is moving and how much deflection the foundation has.  This device is accurate to 0.05 inches. With the use of the Zip Level we are able to quickly detect exactly where your foundation has dropped downward or heaved upward. This information is then forwarded to our structural design team and a repair is designed on CAD and reviewed and approved by management. We then send a written estimate & cad designed repair by email to the customer. Prior to the start of any repairs our repair design is reviewed by an independent engineer and any modifications the engineer recommends are implemented and added into our repair design. During the initial visit we will check your property to confirm the storm water is draining correctly away from your foundation. If we find any incorrect drainage we will recommend ways to correct the drainage and divert water away from your foundation. Sometimes it is something as little as removing flower beds that are obstructing the drainage, adding gutters with downspouts, or in some instances installing drains with collection boxes to divert excess rainwater away from your homes foundation preventing further damage. In extreme cases it might be necessary to regrade your yard and install french drains or a direct drainage system. 

Any necessary drainage repairs will be added to the estimate as it is very important to fix the cause of your foundation problem while repairing the damaged foundation and returning it to it's original level state. Once this is completed we have masonry crews that will repair any cracks in the mortar that was damaged by the shifting of the homes foundation. Our crews complete most foundation repair projects in less than three days. If you are a property owner in the Dallas or Fort Worth area who is experiencing foundation movement and settlement please contact us for a free, no obligation foundation inspection. 

Concrete Slab Foundation Repair Process in Dallas and Fort Worth

Foundation Repair Methods in Dallas and Fort Worth

The best repair method will depend on the specific issues affecting your foundation. Some common repair techniques include:

  • Pressed Concrete Piers: Concrete cylinders are hydraulically pushed into the ground to stabilize the foundation. In the Dallas and Fort Worth Concrete Pressed Piers are one of the most affordable and reliable methods used to stabilize foundation movement.
  • Steel Piers: Similar to concrete piers but made of steel, often considered more durable. Steel Piers in Dallas and Fort Worth are needed if depths to bedrock exceed 20 feet.
  • Drilled - Poured Concrete Piers:  Drilled piers are used when structures are not heavy enough to use a pressed pier. Some foundations with wood facades require drilled piers.
  • Helical Piers: Helical piers with screw-like anchors are drilled deep into stable soil to provide support.
  • Pier and Beam Repair: For Pier and Beam Foundations, repairs might involve replacing damaged wood, adding or adjusting shims, or installing additional piers for support.
  • Drainage Correction: Installing French Drains, surface drains, and improving grading to direct water away from the foundation.
  • Root Barriers: Installing Root Barriers to prevent tree roots from encroaching on the foundation.
  • Slab-jacking (Mud-jacking): This involves pumping a grout mixture under the concrete slab to lift and level it.

The cost of foundation repair can vary significantly depending on several factors, including:
