We recommend scheduling an inspection if you notice:

• Cracks in interior or exterior walls, especially near doors and windows

• Doors or windows that stick or won’t close properly

• Uneven, sagging, or sloping floors

• Gaps between walls and ceilings or floors

• Visible cracks in the foundation, especially those larger than 1/4″

These are common signs of shifting soil or settling that may require professional evaluation.

The DFW area is built on expansive clay soil, which swells when wet and shrinks during dry periods. This constant expansion and contraction causes the ground to shift, leading to foundation movement, cracking, and settling. These soil conditions are the primary reason foundation problems are so common in our region.

Foundation repair costs vary based on the size of your home, the type of foundation, and how many piers are required. On average, our repairs cost just over $8,000, but they can range anywhere from $3,000 to $30,000 depending on the scope of work. This average cost also includes a 3rd party engineering inspection, city permits, & hydrostatic plumbing tests. We offer free inspections and elevation surveys to provide an accurate quote tailored to your home’s needs.

In most cases, standard homeowners insurance doesn’t cover damage caused by soil movement or drought-related settlement. However, some policies may cover foundation repairs if the damage results from a covered peril, such as. plumbing leaks, fire, or hail. We always recommend reviewing your policy or speaking with your insurance provider directly.

We exclusively install steel pier systems that are driven to load-bearing strata or bedrock. Steel piers are preferred over concrete alternatives because they reach stable soil layers, making them a long-term solution even when unstable clay soil extends 30 feet or more below the surface.

Most of our repairs are completed within 1 to 5 working days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Of course, there are exceptions, but we’re glad to include an estimated project scope of work timeline with each estimate. We work efficiently to minimize disruption, and in most cases, homeowners can remain in the house and carry on with their daily routine.

Yes, maintaining consistent soil moisture is essential for foundation health in the DFW climate. We recommend:

• Using soaker hoses around your foundation during dry periods

• Avoiding overwatering, which can lead to soil heaving

• Ensuring proper drainage to prevent pooling and erosion

Maintaining stable moisture levels helps prevent soil shrinkage and reduces movement under your foundation.
