Dallas Fort Worth Foundation Repair

Foundation Repair in Collin County can vary widely from city to city. We repair all types of properties, from Elegant historic home foundation repairs in Downtown McKinney to New Concrete Foundation Repairs in Frisco and Plano. Every home we inspect and repair is different. Collin County Foundations are built on soil with a very high clay content and some areas have bedrock very close to the surface. If you are experiencing cracks in your mortar or in your drywall, or if you have doors sticking shut or that are swinging open there is a good chance you need foundation repairs. If the foundation has cracks in the beam or the corners have popped off you have some movement that needs to be checked. We offer free foundation and drainage inspections and we have repaired numerous homes in every city in Collin County. Dallas Fort Worth Foundation Repair has worked extensively in Collin County for over 2 decades. We offer some of the lowest prices for foundation repairs and we have very good crews who have been with us long term. We get in and get that job done right!

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 Collin County area who is experiencing foundation movement and settlement please contact us for a free, no obligation foundation inspection. 

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.
• Slabjacking (Mudjacking): 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:

• Type of Foundation: Slab foundations and Pier and Beam Foundations have different repair needs and costs.
• Extent of the Damage: More severe problems will require more extensive and costly repairs.
• Type of Foundation: Slab foundations and pier and beam foundations have different repair needs and costs.
• Repair Method Used: Different repair techniques have varying costs for materials and labor. For example, installing steel piers is generally more expensive than installing concrete pressed piers.
• Number of Piers Required: If underpinning is necessary, the number of piers needed will impact the price.
• Accessibility: If the work area is difficult to access, it can increase labor costs.
• Size of the Foundation: Larger foundations generally require more materials and labor.

General Cost Estimates (Keep in mind these are broad ranges):

• Minor Repairs (e.g., crack sealing): $500 - $2,500
• Pier Installation (Concrete or Steel): $300 - $600+ per pier (total project cost can range from $2,000 to $25,000 or more depending on the number of piers and other factors).
• Pier and Beam Repair (Total Shim): Around $2,000, but can increase with pier and wood replacement.
• Drainage Correction: $1,100 - $5,500
• Slabjacking/Polyurethane Injection: $2,500 - $8,500
• Plumbing Leaks: A single leak can run $1700-$2500 and a sewer re-pipe can run between $14,000-$25,000 plus. 

It's crucial to get a thorough evaluation and a detailed quote from a reputable foundation repair company  to understand the specific costs for your situation. Don't hesitate to ask questions about the proposed repair plan and the warranty offered.
