We also offer drainage and root barriers to help prevent foundation damage. Schedule a free, no-obligation assessment now. Your home’s structural integrity depends on the strength of your foundation. It supports everything else – walls, windows, floors, doorways, roof – so when your foundation is damaged, it can cause serious problems throughout your home. Like most things in life, your foundation is subject to environmental stress. Expanding and contracting soil, excessive moisture and inadequate drainage are some of the most common threats to your home’s foundation. Over time, environmental stressors can cause a foundation to shift, crack or settle unevenly. And homeowners often miss early warning signs of foundation damage. Homeowners spend about $4 billion annually stabilizing faulty foundations, and those costs may increase as more homes are built in areas known for shifting soil. Understanding risk factors and signs of foundation problems can help you protect your most valuable asset from irreversible damage.

Appointment was made at our convenience and tech was on time. Very polite. Listened to our concern about the situation where they had performed work in the past. Reviewed the situation and assured us there was no changes and all was fine. No charges were incurred and they said we were welcome to call for a follow up any time. Very polite!

Workers arrived on time and cleaned up afterwards. As .the work was being done no measurements were being taken We tried talking to lead man about this but English was not his first language. We found out that Olshan does not take measurements as they do the work. Later on we started noticing cracks in the interior sheet rock and exterior walls. Could not get any satisfaction from Olshans. We hired a structural engineer that informed us that our slab was over jacked forming a bowl affect. Olshans said they would fix but would charge us. We didn't think that fair since they caused the problem and now do not trust them to do a good job. We took them to court for damages and were awarded judgement. It has been a few years and they have yet to pay the judgement. They ignore attorney inquiries and have said they were not notified of the original court date. our attorney said it is difficult to collect from Texas. We are in Louisiana. So it looks like we will need to go to court again. So my advice is to hire a structural engineer for advice and NOT to hire Olshans for anything. Use another company if necessary.

We had Olshan do foundation work on our home. Over a period of time, we noticed cracks, door and window problems and other damages occurring in the house and on the exterior. A structural engineer came out and examined Olshan's work and damages. He said Olshan over jacked the house. Olshan refused our calls so we decided to go to court. Judgement was found in our favor. This was in February 2016. We are still waiting for payment and it is January 2018. We can not repair our home until we receive payment from Olshan's court ordered judgement. Olshan is not an honorable company.

I talked to the corporate office about this. I tried going through the BBB and it's there. I could get anything done with this. The person from the corporate office told me that I would have to pay an additional $25,000. I ended up losing the $17000 in the end with nothing fixed.
Description of Work
They were supposed to fix a hole in my living room. They were supposed to fill concrete inside the hole to patch it up. I thought he would come with a concrete truck, but he came with just a tiny bag of concrete.

Mr. Baker was thorough and professional. He gave us assurances that no costly repairs were apparent to him. While adding the caveat that things could change, it would have been easy for him to convince us that repairs were needed immediately, and to perform unnecessary work at an excessive cost. Needless to say, we were pleased and releaved to incur no expense; not even for the inspection.
Description of Work
Mr. Baker inspected our house to determine if there had been any movement in our foundation. His inspection included examining both interior and exterior facades for evidence of movement, as well as, doors that might be difficult to open or close. Although we expected him to tell us extensive (and expensive) foundation repairs were needed, instead he told us the cracks we saw were normal for a house the age of ours, and there was no preponderance of cracking on any one side of the house, or cracks in our sheetrock. His conclusion was that NO foundation repair work was needed at this time.
