Foundation Inspection
A thorough foundation inspection is where every repair starts. We evaluate signs of movement, drainage conditions, and foundation type before recommending any fix. Free for homeowners in our service area; if the home is under contract for sale, a $250 evaluation fee applies and is credited toward the invoice if the work proceeds. Real estate agents are billed for inspections.
- Licensed & insured
- Free on-site inspections
What a Foundation Inspection Covers
A foundation inspection is where we determine what's actually happening under your home, not where we start recommending piers. We check visible signs of movement, drainage conditions, and your foundation type before anything else.
Homeowners within our service area get this inspection free. If the home is under contract for sale, a $250 evaluation fee applies, and it is credited toward the invoice if the work goes ahead. Real estate agents are billed for inspections, since the scope and reporting needs are different for a transaction than for a homeowner deciding on repair.

Foundation Repair Solutions
Methods used to stabilize and repair foundation problems based on the cause.
Foundation Underpinning
Underpinning stabilizes foundations by transferring the load to deeper, more stable soil layers and bedrock, using QFR's steel push pier or Adjust-A-Pier systems depending on foundation type.
Deep Foundation Systems
A deep foundation system carries a structure's weight past the reactive surface soil to strata that does not move. At QFR that system is our in house manufactured steel push pier, driven hydraulically to load bearing strata.
Push Piers
QFR's in-house manufactured steel push piers are driven hydraulically to load-bearing strata to stabilize and lift settled slab foundations.
Slab Piers
Slab piers support and stabilize sunken concrete slabs, particularly useful in commercial settings with larger slab spans.
Micro Piles
Micro piles is the name we use for our own steel push piers when access is tight: crawl spaces, interior openings, or a narrow side yard. Same in house manufactured pier, same load bearing depth, installed with compact hydraulic equipment.
Foundation Inspection and Central Texas Clay
Austin's expansive Blackland clay shrinks in dry summers and swells after rain, cycling in volume with every wet and dry season. Homes built on this clay can experience ongoing movement as the soil expands and contracts. Where that movement shows up depends on the home and foundation type.
