I had some foundation issues, such as a failed tension cable and a tree growing close to my house. Vantage Foundation Repair came out within 24hrs inspected my foundation, addressed my concerns, and provided solutions during the visit. Very impressed. Would highly recommend their services.

I can’t say enough great things about Vantage Foundation Repair! After researching several companies to replace the existing retaining wall across my backyard I was extremely fortunate to get in touch with Derk and learn that Vantage Foundation Repair also builds/repairs retaining walls. I had interviewed and received quotes from representatives of 5 different companies, but none were as comprehensive and easy to work with as Derk. Replacing the 66-foot-long concrete wall was a huge project for me to consider and I had many questions/concerns about finding a reliable company to do the work. The Vantage team restored my faith in finding a quality contractor with an honest approach and fair pricing. The crew was well organized, respectful, and worked well together, turning the labor intense work in the Texas triple digit heat into a smooth operation. They quickly turned my apprehension about doing the project into excitement at seeing the end results coming to fruition. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome; the pictures don’t do it justice! My sincerest thank you to Derk and the Vantage Foundation Repair Team!

Working with Vantage was a very good choice. We received multiple quotes and while Vantage wasn't the cheapest, the recommendations they made for the work needed was comprehensive and easily understood. They were always professional and courteous. I give them my highest recommendation.

When I decided to go forward with foundation repair on my house I interviewed five companies and received quotes from all five. I decided to hire Vantage Foundation Repair because the plan Derk Mazurczak presented for placement of support made the most sense and, though the quote wasn't the lowest, I thought it was the best value because Vantage uses steel pilings and offers a transferable 25 year warranty. In addition to the foundation repair, I contracted Vantage to excavate (and refill) a tunnel under the house to gain access for plumbing repair. The quote for the excavation was fair compared to other quotes received. All work was done on schedule. Derk was professional, personable and communications were always prompt within reason. He always took time to answer questions and address concerns. The work crew, led my Calvin, were all polite, hardworking, considerate and removed all personal trash daily. When the projects were finished, the work areas were cleaned beyond my expectations. I'm very pleased with the outcome of both projects. A huge crack that was in an exterior brick wall came back together so well it is hardly noticeable and all of the doors now close as designed. The tunnel allowed sufficient space for the plumber to replace the old cast iron pipes with PVC. Without reservation, I recommend Vantage Foundation Repair to anyone that has need of their services.

Derk replaced a pier and beam foundation on my house that was built in 1910. When the project started the house sloped from from back to front almost 5 inches. The house was actually leaning. When his work was finished, it varied about a half inch which is well within code. He was extremely informative of the entire process and told me what he was going to do each day. His team worked quickly, finished early, and communicated throughout the entire project. We ran into plumbing and gas line issues and he was very helpful in problem solving all of those complications. I would certainly recommend Vantage Foundation.

Two years ago, I learned of Vantage Foundation repair company from the seller who sold me a 70-year-old fourplex. The seller had Derk counsel him on this property's drainage correction.  When I called, Derk was very kind and patient at answering all my questions, even though I was not a paid client.  This year, I called Derk again and had him come to check on the foundation again.   He took needed measurements in every unit and showed me how the survey was done.  From the data he collected, he concluded that the foundation was actually sound.  In addition to survey the elevation of every 10 feet to come up with all the data, he walked around the property to look for the things that could cause foundation shift.  The conclusion was: the drainage correction plan he set up two years ago was followed through quite well but one area which I need to take of as soon as possible. 
Derk is a business owner that you can count on.

Derk was very knowledgeable about the foundation needs and construction. His team did a good job getting the work done and cleaned up after them selves for the most part. I got bids from several other companies and Vantage was one of the two lowest rices but not the lowest. we went with Vantage because the owner seemed to know his trade very well and gave us a lot of information about what to expect.

It's hard to know whether a foundation company did a good job or not. I guess you could crawl under the house and look at all the piers and beams that mean nothing to you. Did they use the right concrete mix? Did they set the beams correctly? Beats me.
So you have to judge by the experience. Vantage was recommended to me by a home inspector who said that they are honest. I think he's right: Derk is honest. He also seems capable for the most part. He's punctual, attentive, and responsive. His crew was here almost three weeks, banging around under the house, and they did their work without difficulties and left the work site spotless. The house is much more level than it was before.
The problem was this. Sometimes when you level a pier-and-beam house, you have to cut the plumbing lines, lift the house, then repair the plumbing. When Derk assessed the job, he said that wouldn't be necessary. When it came to the final day of leveling, it turned out to be essential. I know that it's impossible to anticipate every problem, but it's annoying to have a contractor discover a fundamental problem at the last minute.
At first it looked like it was only the vent line that needed to be cut. Derk said he would just cut the vent pipe, run over to Home Depot and get a collar, and fix it back up. I said okay. (We had other plumbing work scheduled, and I figured I could get a permanent fix done later.)
Then it turned out that the waste line and water line would have to be cut, too. Derk still wanted to do it himself. I said nope, get a plumber. I had visions of Derk's amateur repairs blowing out at 3 in the morning when it's 10 degrees outside, and it would only go downhill from there. Derk was p*****. He clearly thought that I was being unreasonable. I felt that he should have done a better job of anticipation, and if that was impossible, then there would be an unavoidable delay until we could get a plumber to do it right. But Derk had other jobs waiting and he wanted to wrap it up and get out of there. He said he would just pull his crew off and come back and finish whenever he could finish. I said fine. Then he remembered that I still owed him $7,000, and he started calling plumbers.
So he finds a plumber. The plumber gets into the pipes and, as you might expect, the old galvanized pipes are rusty and brittle, and they tend to pop off when you grab them. While he's working on this pipe, another pipe decides to spring a leak. The next thing you know, it's trenches and new water lines, and all sorts of stuff. A small nightmare. About what you would expect when you mess with ancient plumbing, and exactly why I didn't want Derk trying to do it himself.
This is not my first remodel. I am not a shrinking violet. I imagine that another homeowner might have been pressured by Derk's demeanor into letting him attempt the plumbing work himself. It would have been a terrible mistake. Derk should know better. He probably did, and by now I hope he does. But for my being firm, Derk's eagerness to get on to another job would have turned this one into a fiasco. Derk didn't dodge the bullet—I pulled him out of the way.

Derk came out and did a thorough inspection and made recommendations on what needed to be done.  He took measurements throughout the house and then discussed his recommendations on what should be done.  Rather than use the scare approach and put down other companies the way other contractors had done, he took a more conservative approach to fixing the problem and was extremely professional in explaining what he would be doing.  . 
He put piers around the entire perimeter of the house and when it was completed, the house felt good as new.  He did explain that leveling the house would not fill in the cracks that showed up when the house had settled but we had high hopes it would.  He told us to wait 90 days to fix the interior cracks and warned us that more cracking could occur.  We waited and did the work and five months later, we have no signs of any more problems.
The only negative thing I can say is that his workers left the area littered with water bottles but when I pointed it out to him, he had it taken care of immediately.
Communication was excellent.  He responded right away any time i had a question.

Outstanding work.  I would definitely recommend Vantage to anyone needing work, or even if you have concerns, I would give them a call.
