Foundation Repair · Burleson, TX

Foundation repair, measured before it is sold.

Most foundation trouble in Burleson starts in the soil, not the slab. Our blackland clay swells when it rains and shrinks hard every dry summer, and that cycle walks a foundation a fraction at a time. We start every job the same way: elevation readings across your whole floor, in writing, before we recommend a single pier.

Step zero · The evaluation

The reading comes first

A foundation opinion without numbers is a guess. We run a full elevation survey of your floor with a digital manometer, map where the slab has moved and how far, then check the brick, the doors and the drainage before we say a word about piers.

  • Elevation readings in every room, plotted on a floor map
  • Brick, drywall, door and floor inspection
  • Drainage and soil moisture check on all four sides
  • Written findings and one flat quote, yours to keep

Services · Burleson and the southern suburbs

Eight services. One crew.

Everything below is done by our own crew with our own equipment. If the readings say your house needs drainage and not piers, that is the job we sell you.

Know the signs

Six signs the ground is moving your house

  • S.1 Stair-step cracks in the brick, following the mortar joints
  • S.2 Doors that stick, drag, or will not latch anymore
  • S.3 Cracks running out from window and door corners
  • S.4 Floors that slope, dip, or feel soft underfoot
  • S.5 Gaps opening where walls meet ceilings and cabinets
  • S.6 Cracks in the slab or garage floor that keep widening

One sign by itself can be cosmetic. Two or more, or any crack that keeps growing, means the slab is moving. The readings settle the question, and the evaluation is free.

The soil story

Built on blackland. Built for it.

Burleson sits on deep black gumbo clay, some of the most active soil in Texas. It does not fail all at once. It breathes with the seasons, and a foundation that is not anchored below the active zone breathes with it.

Wet season

The clay drinks

Rain soaks in, the clay swells, and the edge of the slab gets pushed up. Doors that stuck all summer suddenly swing free.

Dry season

The clay shrinks

A Texas summer pulls the moisture back out. The soil contracts, gaps open under the slab, and corners settle into the space left behind.

The fix

Anchor below it

Steel and pressed piers are driven through the active clay to stable bearing ground, so the soil can keep moving without taking the house with it.

How we work

Measure. Diagnose. Repair. Guarantee.

STEP 01

Measure

We survey elevations across every room and map exactly where the foundation has moved, and how far.

STEP 02

Diagnose

We find the cause, soil, drainage, or both, and hand you a written plan with one flat price.

STEP 03

Repair

Piers go in to refusal, the lift is controlled, and we re-measure the floor before we call it done.

STEP 04

Guarantee

Your pier map and readings go on paper, backed by a lifetime warranty that transfers when you sell, at no charge.

Straight answers

Questions we hear in Burleson

How much does foundation repair cost? +

It depends on how many piers the house needs and how far it has moved, which is exactly what the free evaluation measures. You get one flat written price before any work starts, and it does not change mid-job.

How do I know I actually need piers? +

The elevation readings decide, not a salesperson. If your floor is level and the cracks are cosmetic, we tell you that and leave. Plenty of our evaluations end with no sale, and we would rather earn the referral than the pier job.

How long does a repair take? +

Most Burleson homes take one to three days. You stay in the house while we work, and we re-measure and walk the whole job with you before we leave.

Does the warranty really transfer? +

Yes. The warranty stays with the house and transfers to the next owner at no charge. We keep your pier map and readings on file, so the paperwork is ready when you sell.

What if my problem is drainage, not the foundation? +

Then we fix the drainage. Standing water and bad grading move more Burleson foundations than anything else, and a french drain costs a fraction of a pier job. The readings and the water check tell us which one your house needs.
