foundation repair Dallas Fort Worth

If you're dealing with a sinking or cracked concrete slab foundation in Arlington, you need a reliable, long-term solution. At Master Builders Remodelers, we specialize in repairing slab foundations for both homes and commercial buildings. The expansive soils in our region are notorious for causing movement, but our techniques are designed to combat this.

We primarily use Concrete Pressed Piers, which we consider the optimal solution for the DFW area. This method involves hydraulically pressing concrete cylinders deep into the stable soil beneath your home, providing a permanent support system. For structures requiring exceptionally high load-bearing support, we also offer Steel Piers as a robust alternative.

Our process begins with a thorough evaluation to diagnose the exact cause and extent of the damage. We then provide a detailed quote for only what you need. Our experienced install team ensures the repair is performed with precision, minimizing disruption to your property. Every slab repair we complete is backed by our comprehensive lifetime warranty, giving you confidence that your investment is protected for the life of your home.

Homes with pier and beam foundations in Arlington face unique challenges, often related to moisture and ventilation in the crawl space. Cracked, damaged, or rotted wood joists and beams can compromise your home's structural integrity and create uneven floors.

Our expert team specializes in comprehensive pier and beam repairs. We don't just replace the damaged wood; we address the root cause. Inadequate ventilation leading to excess moisture is a common culprit. That's why we focus on crawl space ventilation solutions to minimize the potential for future wood rot and damage. By improving airflow and moisture control under your home, we help create a healthier, more stable environment.

We'll carefully inspect your crawl space, identify all compromised supports, and develop a repair plan that restores stability. Our work includes repairing or replacing damaged piers, shimming beams, and reinforcing the structure as needed. We understand the intricacies of these systems and are committed to delivering repairs that ensure your home stands strong for years to come, all covered by our trusted warranty.

Improper drainage is the main enemy of your foundation in Arlington's expansive soil. Whether it's too much water pooling around your home or not enough consistent moisture, the resulting soil shrinkage and expansion is a leading cause of foundation cracks and damage.

We can fix drainage problems of any type. Our drainage correction services are a proactive and often critical component of foundation health. We assess the grading around your property, the performance of your gutter and downspout systems, and look for areas where water is not being directed away from the foundation effectively.

Solutions may include regrading the soil to create a proper slope, installing French drains or channel drains to capture and redirect subsurface water, and ensuring downspouts extend sufficiently far from the house. By managing the water around your home, we help stabilize the soil and prevent the cyclical movement that stresses your foundation. Think of it as preventative medicine for your property—solving drainage issues protects your foundation repair investment and maintains your home's structural health.

After a foundation repair is completed on your home in Arlington, it's essential to ensure that no plumbing leaks have occurred or been exacerbated by the soil movement or repair process. Undetected leaks can lead to new foundation problems, water damage, and high utility bills.

We conduct post-foundation repair plumbing tests on the homes we repair. This specialized test is performed to verify that no leaks exist in the water supply lines under the slab or within the crawl space. It's a critical step that many companies overlook, but we include it as part of our commitment to a complete and guaranteed repair.

Our testing process is thorough and non-invasive where possible. We pressurize your home's plumbing system and monitor for drops in pressure that would indicate a leak. This service provides you with invaluable peace of mind, confirming that your foundation is stable and your plumbing is intact. It's just one more way Master Builders Remodelers goes above and beyond to deliver service you can truly trust.
