Choosing the Right Service: Common Questions
Not sure which repair your home needs? These answers help you narrow it down before the evaluation.
Which service does my home actually need?
That is what the free evaluation determines. Broadly: slab leveling is for a settling concrete slab, pier and beam repair is for homes with a crawl space, drainage and root barriers address the causes of movement, and pressure grouting and flatwork deal with driveways, patios, and voids under concrete. Most homes with real movement need a structural repair plus at least one cause-side fix.
How do I know whether I have a slab or a pier and beam foundation?
If your home sits directly on the ground with no crawl space and no basement, it is almost certainly slab-on-grade. If there is a crawl space beneath the floor, accessible through a vent or hatch, it is pier and beam. Homes built in North Texas before roughly the 1950s are frequently pier and beam; most built after are slabs.
Do I need structural repair or just drainage work?
If the foundation has already lost elevation, drainage alone will not bring it back — you need piers to recover it. If the home is still level but water is pooling against it, drainage may be all that is required, and doing it now is far cheaper than piering later. Elevation readings tell us which situation you are in.
Can you handle several of these services in one project?
Yes, and it is usually the better approach. Combining piering with drainage correction or a root barrier means one mobilization, one disruption to your yard, and one coordinated warranty rather than digging the same ground up twice.
How much does each service cost?
Every service is priced by actual scope rather than a flat rate, because the driver differs: piering by pier count and depth, drainage by linear feet and discharge routing, flatwork by area and thickness. Each service page explains what moves the price for that specific work. Evaluations are free and the written estimate is what you pay.
Do all of your services carry a warranty?
Our foundation leveling work carries a Lifetime Transferable Warranty. Other services carry warranties appropriate to the work performed. We put the specific coverage for your scope in writing before you sign.
Do you work on commercial properties as well as homes?
Yes. The same soil conditions affect commercial slabs, parking areas, and warehouse floors across North Texas. Call us with the details of the property and we will tell you honestly whether it is a good fit for our crews.
What happens during a free evaluation?
A technician takes elevation readings across your floor to map where the foundation has moved and by how much, inspects the exterior, brick, and any accessible crawl space, and looks at how water moves across your lot. You get an explanation of what the measurements show and a written scope and price. No obligation, and no pressure to decide on the spot. Call (972) 436-2595 to book one.
