"Excellent, was on time and perfect. Brad and his team (sorry, forgot his name) were even able to lift the concrete wall and it was done perfectly. They even caulked around the entire area, cleaned it out etc. Used hydraulic lift to lift it and then put the foundation repair compound. THank you."

"I had the pleasure of working with Dean, Tory, Jake, Blake, Alberto, and Charles on a recent repair. Over a short period of time, our foundation had begun to sink. The team was both extremely professional and friendly throughout the entire process. They helped to track down the cause of our issue and performed the remediation in a timely manner. They were considerate of our concerns and were able to control the damage to a high degree. I would highly recommend them and their expertise for any potential issue."

"I would recommend Mark in a heartbeat. He's honest. He could have told me I had problems that I didn't have and I wouldn't have known any better. He spent over an hour going over my house in all the problem areas and said that the problem wasn't my foundation. The crumbling concrete was from the rebar rusting inside the concrete, causing it to expand, crack and crumble. I had the same issue on a couple of window ledges. The problem with my blinds turned out to be a problem with tile. 4 tiles at one end sounded hollow underneath and had raised slightly, causing the blinds to press against them. Since they do concrete work, I asked him if he could repair/replace the concrete base for the door and the window ledges and he told me that he could, but that I would be much better having someone else do it. He said he would have to charge me double what others charge because his rate is based on foundation work and that's the rate he would have to charge. He even told me that the repairs I needed shouldn't cost more than $500 with a regular concrete company and that if someone tried to charge me more they were ripping me off. So he gave me an honest inspection (free) for over an hour, suggested I have someone else do the repair work and even told me how much I should expect to pay with someone else. I've never met another contractor with such good business ethics. The only weak point (and it's a stretch) is that sometimes it takes him some time to get back to you. But to me, even that is a plus, because that means he's in such demand, and after meeting him, I can understand why."

"Used Power Lift Foundation Repair DFW on two projects over the last 12 months. Both times I was very pleased with the way I was educated on the recommended work they suggested. I was given warranty information, contact information and what signs to look for in the future. They will be my first call if and when I need foundation work again!"

Foundation Repair questions, answered by experts

While a contractor is on-site repairing your concrete steps, you can have them inspect other concrete surfaces for minor damage. They may be able to fix cracks in your driveway or garage floor during the same visit. You can also ask them to check your home's foundation for minor issues they can address. However, general concrete repair experts typically cannot handle larger jobs, like leveling a sunken foundation. For major structural projects, you will need to hire a structural engineer.

In order to raise your home to make foundation repairs, you'll need to bring in a structural engineer to help you design the project. You'll also need to see if you're eligible for the permits needed, and contact a foundation repair company near you.

The average home foundation lasts between 80 and 100 years, but some can last much longer with proper maintenance and routine inspections. The lifespan depends on the foundation type, soil conditions, climate, and construction quality. Poured concrete walls can last up to 200 years, brick or stone foundations over 100 years, cement block foundations 80 to 100 years, and pier foundations about 75 years. Factors that can shorten a foundation's life include expansive clay soil, poor weather conditions, low-quality building materials, improper construction, and tree roots. Signs of damage include sloping floors, bowing walls, cracks, and doors or windows that stick.

Whether you need a permit for foundation repair depends on your location and the scope of the work. Major repairs like foundation stabilization typically require a building permit, while smaller projects such as sealing non-structural cracks or applying waterproofing solutions often do not. It's crucial that your contractor follows all local building codes, as an inspector will review the work to ensure it's up to standard. Failing to obtain the necessary permits can create issues when selling your home and may lead to further damage if the work is not done correctly. Your foundation repair specialist will usually know if a permit is needed and can handle the process for you. You can also contact your local building department or municipal office to confirm the requirements and verify that your contractor has filed the appropriate paperwork.

It’s crucial to hire a foundation company that’s professional, experienced, and reliable, starting by choosing local experts with at least five to ten years of experience with your type of project. Local foundation companies will understand the soil and weather conditions in your area and can carry out the best solution based on your property characteristics. You should ask for a list of customer references, read through online reviews, and check for customer complaints and unresolved issues filed with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) before hiring.
