Nearly every listing began as a Texas business on Google Maps, filed as a foundation or concrete company, with at least one review.
We dropped closed businesses, listings not updated in a year, duplicates, charities and trades that do other work.
Each listing shows what the company says it does: slab or pier and beam, the piers it uses, its warranty.
Featured and sponsored places are marked. Paying never changes a rating, a review count or what a listing says.
A listing here is a business, not a recommendation. We did not inspect anyone's work, check insurance or call references. What we did is simpler to check. We started with every Texas company Google files under foundation or concrete work that has at least one review. We kept the ones that work on foundations. Then we read each company's own website to see what it says it does.
If a website says the company installs steel piers, offers a free inspection or gives a warranty that moves to the next owner, the listing says so. If the website says nothing, the listing says not enough info. We do not guess. Warranties and insurance are the company's own claims, so get them in writing.
A few listings are referral services with no Google listing of their own. We added them by hand. Each one says plainly that it passes calls to a local contractor and does not repair foundations itself.
Owners can claim a listing to correct details or add photos. A person checks every claim.
Most foundation trouble in Texas starts in the ground. Clay swells when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries. That lifts and drops a house a little each season. Cracks, sticking doors and sloping floors follow. A good repair deals with the movement, not just the crack you can see. Here is how to sort the companies on this site.
Many older Texas homes sit on pier and beam. They have a crawl space and short piers under the beams. Newer homes mostly sit on a concrete slab. Some slabs have steel cables pulled tight inside them. The Post-Tensioning Institute says that design has been used on millions of homes on swelling clay since 1980. Each kind of house needs a different repair. Every listing here shows if a company names slab work, pier and beam work, or both.
Texas engineers have guidelines for house foundations, from the Texas Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers. They describe three levels of review. The first is a walk-through. The second adds a survey of floor levels and a drawing. The third adds tests, such as soil samples and plumbing tests. A free inspection from a repair company helps. But it comes from someone who hopes to make the sale. Many homeowners pay an independent engineer first. Several Texas cities ask for an engineer's sealed plan or letter with a repair permit. Round Rock, Georgetown, Denton and Frisco are among them.
Concrete pilings, drilled piers, steel piers and helical piers all try to reach firm soil. That soil sits below the layer that swells and shrinks. A Houston group of repair companies and engineers wrote about what goes wrong. Piers set too shallow can keep sinking. And the piers most used on Houston-area houses are not tied to the slab, so they will not stop it from rising. Foam and mud lift sunken concrete, but they sit in the layer that moves. Ask each company how deep its piers go, and why.
Lifting a slab can crack the pipes under it. The engineers' guidelines say to test water and drain lines when a repair lifts the house. A leak can also wet the clay under one part of a slab. Ask who runs the test, and when.
Texas does not license foundation repair companies. A 2013 bill to create a license did not pass. So ask for proof of insurance and any permit your city needs. Get the warranty in writing. Check what it covers and if it passes to the next owner. A company that drills 16 inches or deeper with power tools must call 811 at least 48 hours first. If a repair goes wrong, Texas law generally asks you to warn the contractor in writing first. The notice goes by certified mail, at least 60 days before a lawsuit.
No. Texas does not license foundation repair companies. A 2013 bill to create a state license did not pass. Ask the company if your city needs a permit for the job. Get proof of its insurance in writing.
Often, yes. Texas law treats the design of a slab repair on swelling clay as engineering work, unless it meets the local building code. Several Texas cities ask for an engineer's sealed plan with a repair permit. An engineer also gives you a second opinion from someone who is not selling the repair.
We start with Texas businesses that Google files under foundation or concrete work, with at least one review. We keep the ones that work on foundations. Then we read each company's own website to see what it does. A listing is not an endorsement.
No. A basic listing is free and stays free. A company can pay for a featured or sponsored place. Those places always carry a label. Paying does not change a rating, a review count or what a listing says.
Put your complaint in writing. Texas law generally asks a homeowner to send the contractor written notice first. The notice goes by certified mail, at least 60 days before a lawsuit. The contractor may then inspect and offer to settle. A lawyer can tell you how this fits your case.
Some homeowners want an independent engineer before they hire a repair company. So structural engineers and inspectors stay on the list, after the repair companies. Referral services say what they are on their listing.
