What this service does
A request line for San Antonio foundation repair
Foundation Repair SAT is not a foundation crew. It is the place you call or send the form when a crack opens over the garage door or a door will not close in August. The request is passed to an independent foundation repair contractor working in your part of the metro, and that contractor is who calls you back, evaluates the house and, if it needs work, does the job under their own name, proposal and warranty terms.
- Requests taken by phone or form for San Antonio and the surrounding metro
- Independent local foundation repair contractors only
- You speak directly with the contractor who evaluates and repairs the house
- Written proposal from the contractor before any work starts
- Engineer's report and city permit handled by the contractor when the job calls for them
- Warranty terms, if offered, come from the contractor in writing
How it works
Three steps from the first call to the written proposal
You call or send the request
Tell us what the house is doing, which neighborhood it is in, whether it is slab or pier and beam, and when it started. A photo of the crack helps.
A local contractor contacts you
Your request goes to an independent foundation repair contractor working in your part of San Antonio. They call you back with an evaluation window.
They evaluate, propose and do the work
The contractor walks the house, shoots elevations, tests the drains if movement points at a leak, and puts the plan and the price in writing. Work starts only when you sign that proposal.
Who we work with
Independent local contractors, and what to expect from them
Requests go only to independent foundation repair contractors based in and around San Antonio. Texas does not license foundation contractors, so we cannot promise a license number, insurance or a warranty on their behalf: ask the contractor who attends for their insurance certificate and their warranty terms before work starts. What you can expect from the evaluation is below.
Not every crack needs a pier
A hairline crack that opens in August and closes in November is the clay breathing. A brick crack you can fit a coin in, doors that jam year-round and a floor that slopes are movement. The contractor tells you which one you have.
Find the water before pricing the piers
Downspouts dumping at a corner, a live oak drinking from one side, a cast iron drain leaking under the slab. Fixing the water is sometimes the whole job and always the first step.
Clay, rock and San Antonio weather
Blackland clay south and east of the Balcones fault, limestone and fill north and west, drought summers, flash-flood springs and SAWS watering stages. That is what a local pier plan is built around.
Engineered, permitted, in writing
Texas does not license foundation contractors, so the paperwork does the job licensing would: an engineer's report when it counts, a city permit, elevations before and after, and warranty terms you can read. Ask the contractor for all of them before signing.
