Services
Concrete Pilings
Concrete pilings provide stable support for foundations in unstable soil conditions. Our installation process uses hydraulic pressure to drive reinforced concrete columns deep into load-bearing strata, creating permanent support structures. This method offers immediate load-bearing capacity without waiting periods required for poured concrete, making it ideal for urgent foundation stabilization needs in residential and light commercial applications.
Soil Injection
Soil injection treatments address expansive soil issues by introducing non-toxic chemical solutions that inhibit moisture absorption. This process creates permanent moisture barriers that prevent soil swelling and contraction cycles, which cause foundation movement. Our technicians strategically inject potassium and ammonium compounds around foundation perimeters to stabilize existing soil conditions and prevent future foundation damage from below-ground moisture changes.
Root Barriers
Root barriers prevent tree roots from damaging foundations by creating physical and chemical barriers underground. Our three-layer plastic membranes stop root intrusion while also acting as moisture barriers to maintain consistent soil conditions. Installed through trenching methods, these barriers protect foundations from both root penetration and soil moisture fluctuations that contribute to foundation settlement and heaving issues.
Water Drainage
Comprehensive drainage solutions protect foundations from water damage through strategic water redirection systems. Our approach combines surface grading, French drains, and under-slab moisture barriers to manage both surface and subsurface water flow. We design customized drainage plans that consider existing landscaping and soil composition to maintain proper water diversion away from structural foundations while preserving property aesthetics.
Pier and Beam Repair
Pier and beam foundation systems receive specialized repair services that address structural settling and moisture damage. Our technicians adjust and reinforce existing piers while maintaining the integrity of crawl space infrastructure. This method preserves accessibility to utility systems beneath raised structures while restoring proper elevation and stability to buildings affected by foundation movement over time.

I called to get a quote on a foundation repair for an old house, the owner called me and advised me on the home. He was very professional and did not try to take my money and pointed me towards the professional team that could help me best with my repair. I wouldnt hesitate to hire if I needed them in the future. Very professional. Thank you.

Jimmy Meeks and his company knocked it out of the Park for me and my clients!!! He answered his phone on a Saturday night and was able to save the transaction with his knowledge. As an agent, I have met several industry professions - but none hold a candle to this service, knowledge, honesty, and responsiveness. His company will be my only foundation company referral. Thank you so much!
