The short answer
Foundation repair in the Plano area starts at $10,000, and most projects are completed in 5–7 days. The final price depends on how much of the foundation has moved, how many piers are needed, and which pier system the job calls for.
Pier work carries a warranty ranging from 10 years to a lifetime warranty, depending on the type of support piers installed. We confirm a fixed written price after assessing the property, and we handle permits when a project requires them.
Warning Signs
Signs your foundation may need attention.
North Texas homes sit on expansive clay soil that swells in wet weather and shrinks during dry spells. That seasonal movement is the most common reason foundations settle here. These are the symptoms homeowners usually notice first:
- Doors and windows that stick or no longer latch
- Diagonal cracks running from door and window corners
- Gaps opening between walls, ceilings, or crown molding
- Sloping or uneven floors, bouncy spots underfoot
- Cracks in exterior brick or mortar joints
- Separation around the garage door frame
- Cracked or lifting interior tile
- Visible gaps between the slab and the soil around the house
Not every crack means a structural problem. If you're seeing several of these at once — or one that keeps getting worse — it's worth having the foundation assessed before the movement affects more of the house.
What We Do
Foundation work, end to end.
01
Slab Foundation Repair
Lifting and stabilizing concrete slab foundations that have settled unevenly — the most common foundation type in Collin County homes.
02
Pier & Beam Leveling
Re-leveling homes built on pier and beam foundations, including shimming, beam replacement, and correcting sagging floor systems.
03
Steel & Concrete Piers
Driving support piers to stable soil to lift and hold the foundation in place. The pier system selected determines the warranty length — from 10 years up to a lifetime warranty.
04
Mudjacking / Slab Lifting
Raising sunken concrete by pumping material beneath it — used for slabs, walkways, patios, and driveways that have dropped.
05
Drainage Correction
Fixing the water problem that caused the movement in the first place — grading, drainage lines, and moisture management around the foundation.
06
House Leveling
Full structural leveling to bring a settled house back to grade, whether before a remodel or as a standalone project.
