01 · Scope
Property Types We Assess
Different property types come with different access, scheduling, and structural considerations. We plan the repair around the building's use and site conditions.
-
Retail and Restaurant
Repairs are planned around business hours, customer access, and ongoing operations.
-
Office and Medical
We account for tenant occupancy, sensitive equipment, and the need to limit disruption.
-
Warehouse and Light Industrial
Repair plans consider slab loads, equipment, and forklift traffic.
-
Multifamily and HOA
Projects may involve multiple buildings, shared drainage, and coordination with property managers or boards.

Large open spaces and varied building use can affect repair planning and sequencing.
-
Mixed Use
Repairs are planned around both commercial spaces and occupied residential areas.
02 · The honest answer
How Commercial Foundation Repair Differs From Residential
Commercial buildings sit on the same expansive Central Texas clay as homes, but four key differences affect how foundation movement develops.
- 01
Different Load Requirements
Commercial buildings often have concentrated loads from columns, equipment, and racking. Repair plans are based on how those loads move through the structure.
- 02
Larger Building Footprints
Movement can affect different parts of a large slab differently, so the entire structure needs to be evaluated.
- 03
Repairs Must Work Around Operations
Access, work hours, tenants, inventory, and business operations are considered before work begins.
- 04
More Documentation Is Often Required
We provide written documentation of the repair layout, pier depth, and installation data.
03 · How it works
The Commercial Foundation Repair Process
- 01
Site Assessment
We walk the building, take floor elevation readings, and look at drainage, plumbing, and access.
- 02
Cause Diagnosis
We work out what is actually driving the movement before anyone talks about a pier count.
- 03
Scoped and Phased Plan
Pier layout, depths, and sequencing are designed around your operating hours and access constraints.
- 04
Installation
Our crew installs the piers and records the installation pressure at each location.
- 05
Documentation and Sign-Off
You get the layout, the pressures, and the warranty terms that apply to your building in writing.
04 · Warranty
Commercial Foundation Repair Warranty
Warranty coverage depends on the installation pressure reached by the piers. We document the results and explain the applicable warranty before work begins.
- 8,000+ PSI Lifetime Warranty Transferable to a future owner
- 5,000 to 8,000 PSI Warranty for 5 Years Covers workmanship and materials
- Below 5,000 PSI No Warranty We explain this before installation
Warranty conditions and exclusions apply. See our full warranty terms for coverage details, transfer requirements, drainage conditions, and plumbing test requirements.
We cannot guarantee that a foundation will return to its original position or achieve a specific amount of lift. Our goal is to stabilize the structure and bring it to its maximum practical level, as far as site and structural conditions safely allow.
