Dallas soil moves. Your foundation doesn’t have to.
Free inspections, steel piers, and drainage correction for slab and pier-and-beam homes across Dallas–Fort Worth — scoped in writing before any work begins.
Stabilize the structure. Fix the cause.
Most DFW foundation movement traces back to expansive clay and water. Each job starts with elevation readings, a drainage check, and an honest read on whether piers are even needed.

Foundation repair should start with measurement, not a sales pitch. Elevation readings show what moved, how far, and whether drainage correction alone could stop it.

Tell us the service, property address, timing, and what you're seeing — cracks, sticking doors, sloping floors.
Free on-site inspection
Elevation readings across the slab or crawl space, crack mapping, and a drainage and grading assessment.
Review the engineered plan
Pier count, placement, target depth, drainage work, and warranty terms — all in writing before scheduling.
Repair and verify
Piers driven to stable soil, lift verified against fresh elevation readings, and the site restored.
Built for expansive Texas clay.
DFW sits on some of the most active clay soil in the country — it swells with spring rain and shrinks through summer drought, and that cycle is what moves foundations. We work both sides of the local housing stock: post-war slab homes and older pier-and-beam houses.
Questions worth asking.
Foundation work is a big decision. A trustworthy estimate should answer these clearly — in writing, with elevation readings to back it up.
What are the early signs of foundation settlement?
Stair-step cracks in brick or mortar, doors and windows that stick or won't latch, sloping or bouncy floors, gaps between walls and ceilings or floors, and chimneys pulling away from the house. Any one of these is worth a free inspection — catching movement early usually means fewer piers.
Why do Dallas foundations move so much?
Most of DFW sits on expansive clay soil. It swells when soaked and shrinks during drought, and North Texas swings hard between the two every year. Add large trees pulling moisture from the soil near the house, and you get the differential movement that cracks slabs and racks pier-and-beam frames.
What's the difference between steel push piers and helical piers?
Steel push piers are hydraulically driven using the structure's own weight until they reach load-bearing soil or bedrock — the standard fix for settled residential slabs. Helical piers are screwed in like giant augers and suit lighter loads or new construction. The right choice depends on soil depth, structure weight, and access; the inspection determines it.
How much does foundation repair cost in Dallas?
It scales with pier count, how deep stable soil sits, slab versus pier-and-beam construction, and site access. Most residential jobs land in the several-thousand to mid-teens range. Be wary of any quote given without elevation readings — pier count is a measurement, not a guess.
How long does the repair take?
Most residential pier installations finish in one to three days once scheduled. The free inspection itself usually happens within the same week you request it, and you'll have the written plan — pier count, placement, warranty — before any work date is set.
Do you warranty the work?
Reputable DFW foundation work comes with a written warranty — commonly 25 years to lifetime on piers — that should be transferable if you sell the home. Get the warranty terms in the written scope, not as a verbal promise, and confirm exactly what triggers a warranty claim.
