"The team leader, Steven and his crew are true professionals and second to none! When they arrived Steven took the time to explain the process for the repair and ensured that I clearly understood how it was going to be accomplished. I'm very impressed with the communication between Steven and his crew, each team member is very skilled in their craft. Upon completion of the repair, Steven walked around to ensure I was completely satisfied with the workmanship. They left the area around my home spotless! I would recommend Baird Foundation Repair to family and friends! If anyone has a requirement for Foundation Repair I highly recommend giving Baird Foundation a call. Thanks again to Steven, his team and Baird Foundation for the outstanding work!"
"I found a good sized crack in my floor when I pulled up the carpet for new flooring. I called Herculese Foundation out of Austin and made an appointment. They were very professional. and the came and checked the foundation with a meter and even with the crack there was only about an 1/8 of an inch difference in the in the corners of the house. I was very relived that I was not facing a large repair bill and now I continue with installing new flooring."

"Foundation was repaired and leveled, but the person who came out to give the quote indicated that the skirting would be repaired and that a rotted beam at the front of the house would be replaced, and that all piers would be strapped with five (5) straps for lateral stability. The piers were replaced but only one strap was used, several of them were broken, and the rotted beam was not replaced. I didn't say anything about it when the repair was done, so they may have fixed those things if I'd been more on the ball about inspecting their work. But I don't think the details of the repair were well communicated to the work crew. The actual installation of the piers went well and the house is still level, so the main purpose of the job was achieved well enough."
"Great experience with a very professional crew. The work of fixing my front sidewalk and driveway was completed quickly, on time, and looks great now! Thanks to Jackie and Ryan, who did the repair work. They were friendly, efficient, and quickly completed all the work needing to be done. They answered all my questions. I would go to Baird Foundation Repair without hesitation for any future foundation or concrete work, if the need develops. I'll be recommending Baird to all of my neighbors and friends. Oh, and the cost of the work being done actually came in a little under what I was expecting, which was a very nice surprise!"
"The foundation work was excellent. Mark, the owner, had a team at our house in a timely manner. They dug to bedrock and poured pilings. They cleaned up after themselves and my husband I literally watched the cracks in our walls close. It was amazing. We found Mark to be professional and fair. I'd recommend his company to anyone. That said, when we had a roof problem, we called Mark for a roofer recommendation. We were thrilled to learn that he was in the roofing business and again he came to our house promptly, gave us an estimate, and got to work. The house has a flat roof, so not many are interested in the work. Mark used a new product. It's a foam base and works like a charm. The roof has actually insulated the house, making it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Again, my husband and I were thrilled with the work ethic and the product."
"I am satisfied with the work done to remove the tree roots that buckled the driveway and the replacement of the driveway cement. During the demolition or when the boards were placed as molds for the cement, two irrigation pipes and a sprinkler head were broken. The job foreman told me but not the owner. The problem was solved after several days delay. The sprinkler head was placed too high, but I will add topsoil and plant sod and that should fix the issue. Being careful during demolition would not have created another problem. I would hire this company again but would be more aware."
You'll find a slurry of natural and synthetic polymers, rubbers, epoxies, and resins used to bond old concrete to new concrete. The right bonding agent depends on the method of concrete pouring you choose and whether you're adhering concrete over concrete or concrete over sand and gravel. Some concrete resurfacing mixtures contain bonding chemicals as well.
Underpinning is a specific type of foundation repair where a specialist installs deep piers under a foundation to provide additional support. This method is often used when the soil beneath the foundation can no longer evenly support the structure. Foundation repair is an umbrella term that includes many methods. Besides underpinning, other common repairs include foundation crack repair, waterproofing, cosmetic repairs, and concrete block wall stabilization. Often, underpinning is accompanied by other work to address the root cause of the foundation issue, such as regrading the yard to ensure water drains away from the house.
Always hire a foundation repair contractor the moment you suspect your house doesn't have a good foundation. The longer you wait to address foundation issues, the more likely they can lead to bowing floors, cracks in walls and ceilings, sticking doors and windows, chimney and roof problems, and more. Foundation problems can also let moisture into your home, leading to water damage, mold, and mildew problems.
Common issues with concrete that may require professional repair or resurfacing include cracks, spalling, uneven surfaces, and weather damage.
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.
