We respect our clients, and provide quality inspection. After a free inspection to determine your home's needs, we'll provide a detailed proposal for work and answer any questions about the process.
Note: Free estimates are for homeowners only. Not realtors, investors, etc.
We stand behind our work with a warranty good for the life of the home, and it can be transferred to a new owner if the property is sold. We understand that as a homeowner, you're in it for the long haul. So are we.
We'be been doing foundation repairs in North Texas since 1994. This long-time experience gives us a broad understanding of the area's soil, weather, and various foundation types, and allows us to deliver cost-effective foundation repairs and preventative services. We are well aquainted with DFW foundations and their problems!
We're in business to repair homes—not sell piers. We offer complete, lasting foundation solutions—never quick fixes. From inspection to completed repair, we're not satisfied until you're satisfied.
President of Certified Foundation
Stairstep mortar cracks or separations of brick from windows and doors.
This reflects foundation settling.
Cracks above doors and windows are a common indicator of foundation problems.
Cracks also may be visible in tile floors.
Foundation settling causes sloping floors, gaps between doors and frames, and sticking doors.
Under the Weather | North Texas seasonal cycles of wet and dry cause swelling and shrinking of our clay soils, wreaking havoc on foundations.
Piers & Pilings - Deep-drilled concrete piers and steel pilings. Certified will select the optimal repair system for your foundation.
Drainage Problems & Leaks | Excessive water under your foundation from poor drainage or plumbing leaks can cause major damage.
Custom French Drains - Test plumbing system for leaks, and install a drainage system to control rainwater.
Landscaping & Root Damage | Trees and shrubs near the foundation absorb moisture from under the house, causing the foundation to settle.
Preventative Root Barriers - Install root barriers near large trees, and recommend landscape pruning.
Almost all foundation repair requires the use of piers. A pier is a support device that penetrates unstable topsoil, and is drilled to bedrock or to a suitable weight-bearing soil level. Piers work to prevent future foundation movement, and stabilize your foundation.
We believe our Solid Monolithic Piers are the strongest, most versatile, and most reliable piers on the market today. They have been used in North Texas for over 100 years, and are a time-tested solution to foundation problems. Our competitively priced piers are designed to last the lifetime of the home, and come with a lifetime transferable warranty.
