Do I need foundation repair?

This is a common question for many homeowners in the Dallas Fort Worth area. Don't ignore your concerns.

At the first sign of a foundation problem it's time to have a professional evaluation by Granite. An inspection by a trained foundation repair specialist can provide you with answers, practical solutions, and peace of mind.

We understand the Dallas and Fort Worth area clay soils. When the soil gets dry, problems appear. When the soil gets wet, foundation problems seem to go away.

A foundation problem should be fixed as early as possible to minimize foundation repair costs and reduce or eliminate the cost of collateral damage to walls, ceilings, tile, roofing and plumbing. This is true for both concrete slab and pier and beam foundations.

Early signs of foundation problems are shown in the photos here as well as in other parts of our web site.

Your foundation rigidly supports and interacts with every element of the house. Foundations may: sag, heave or tilt. Whether a foundation sags and drops or heaves and rises: walls bend and crack, roof rafters separate, shingles separate, and the seeds are sewn for plumbing damage. When a foundation tilts, the whole house becomes out of level, with no apparent cracking.

Foundation problems may appear to be seasonal. Cracks appear during the hot Dallas Fort Worth summers and close up in the wet winter and spring. Seasonal foundation movement damages floors, walls, ceilings and roofs.
