Foundation Repair Solutions in Austin, TX

Which System Fits Your Foundation Type

QFR works on two foundation types, and each one has its own system. The foundation you have decides most of the answer before we look at anything else.

• Slab foundations Steel push piers, manufactured in our own shop and driven hydraulically down to load bearing soil, then used to stabilize and lift the slab to the maximum practical level.
• Pier and beam foundations Adjust-A-Piers. The name is the point: if the soil moves the home again years later, these piers can be adjusted rather than replaced.

What the Warranty Depends On

Coverage follows what each pier reaches at installation, measured in psi, and it covers only the areas those piers support. A passed hydrostatic plumbing test is required within 60 days of a slab installation, or the slab warranty is not valid, and adverse drainage conditions are excluded.

• Slab, 8,000 psi and above Lifetime warranty on workmanship and materials, fully transferable to the next owner, covering settling greater than 3/4 inch in the piered areas.
• Slab, 5,000 to 8,000 psi Five year warranty on workmanship and materials.
• Slab, below 5,000 psi No warranty.
• Pier and beam Five year warranty on workmanship and materials on Adjust-A-Pier and steel T bracket installations, covering settling greater than 3/4 inch in the piered areas.

How We Decide Before We Quote

We inspect first. Floors, walls, doors, windows and drainage all get checked, findings are recorded with photos and measurements, and the written report explains what we found in plain language. If repair is needed, the quote is written and fixed price. Inspections are free for homeowners; real estate agents are charged.
