house raising in Fort Worth

If you're noticing cracks in your walls, sticking doors, or uneven floors in your San Antonio home, your concrete slab foundation may be failing. At Dura Pier, we specialize in diagnosing and permanently repairing these issues to restore your home's structural integrity and safety.

Our process begins with a thorough, free inspection by a local expert who understands the soil conditions in your area. We use advanced electronic leveling to map the exact settlement of your slab. For the repair, we employ our exclusive Dura Lock® piling system, which is driven deep past the unstable soil to a load-bearing stratum, providing a solid, permanent support for your home. We then carefully lift and level the foundation back to its original position.

Unlike some contractors who use short-cut methods, we never 'mudjack' or use temporary solutions for slab repair. Our system is designed for the expansive soils of Texas and is backed by our Lifetime Transferable Warranty. We protect your interior and landscaping throughout the process, ensuring a clean, professional job from start to finish. For homeowners in San Antonio seeking a lasting solution to foundation problems, Dura Pier delivers reliability you can trust.

Homes with crawl spaces and pier & beam foundations face unique challenges, including moisture, shifting piers, and sagging beams. As the original core of our business, Dura Pier has over four decades of expertise in repairing and stabilizing these systems for homeowners across San Antonio.

Our repair process addresses the root cause of the problem. We start by inspecting the crawl space for moisture issues, wood rot, and insect damage. Our team then assesses each pier, block, and beam for stability. We replace damaged wood, install proper ventilation and vapor barriers if needed, and stabilize the foundation using our heavy-duty steel piers or concrete pilings. We can adjust and level the entire system, eliminating bouncy or sagging floors and ensuring your home is solid and secure.

This service is ideal for older homes in neighborhoods throughout San Antonio where pier & beam construction is common. We take extra care during the process, often working in tight crawl spaces, to ensure the job is done meticulously. Our family-owned company treats your home like our own, combining time-tested techniques with modern technology to give you a foundation built to last for generations.

Whether you need to elevate your home for flood protection, create additional living space, or repair a severely compromised foundation, Dura Pier's house raising service provides a safe, controlled, and hassle-free solution for Texas homeowners.

Our experienced crews can lift homes from 6 inches up to 4 feet using a synchronized hydraulic lifting system. We begin by engineering a custom plan that ensures the structural integrity of your home is maintained throughout the lift. We then temporarily support the structure, construct a new, higher foundation or stem wall system, and slowly raise the home to the desired height. The process is smooth and monitored with laser precision to prevent any twisting or damage to the home's frame.

This service is essential for homeowners in flood-prone areas of San Antonio or those looking to add a basement or improve their home's elevation. Unlike general contractors, we specialize in the structural lifting aspect, coordinating all necessary permits and inspections. With Dura Pier, you benefit from our 45+ years of experience and the confidence that comes from working with a company that has successfully raised thousands of homes. We manage the entire project, minimizing disruption and delivering a result that enhances your home's value and safety.

A broken sewer line beneath your slab foundation is a double threat—it creates a sanitation hazard and can wash away supporting soil, leading to foundation settlement. Dura Pier offers a comprehensive solution that repairs the pipe while protecting your foundation.

Our unique advantage is our combined expertise. Our licensed plumbers and foundation specialists work as a single team. We first locate the break using camera inspection technology. To access the pipe, we use precision tunneling or slab-core drilling methods that minimize disturbance to your foundation, unlike traditional trench digging which can cause further damage. We then repair or replace the damaged section of pipe, and critically, we backfill the area with properly compacted material to restore soil support under your slab.

For homeowners in San Antonio facing sewer line issues, this integrated service saves time, money, and prevents future foundation headaches. We handle everything from diagnosis to repair and cleanup, ensuring your plumbing is fully functional and your foundation remains stable. Choosing a company that understands both systems is the smart way to protect your entire property.
