There is no charge for discussing my services and charges. Please contact me at 817-308-8186
No Matter where you are in the
United States I should be able to help you get your foundation problems solved.
If not... I don't expect to be paid!
If your property is within 50 miles of Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, my on property/in person fee is $400.00.
For longer trips, where in person can be justified, an additional time and distance fee will be added.
Where long distance prohibits in person visits I now offer phone/zoom type of consultation. Most foundation scams are universal, and most foundation problems are similar. After getting you to answer a few questions I will know if I can guide you toward a successful solution. My fee, if I can help remotely is $200.00 and, if I can't help you I won't charge you.
Why use an independent fee-paid consultant when dealing with Foundation Damage and Repair? Independent=will not profit based on what we recommend
- 1Foundation repair companies sell piers, if your structure has experienced an earthquake, is sitting on a sinkhole or is being affected by extreme erosion you may be helped using the correct piers. If your foundation movement is because of other reasons, it is doubtful that piers will be a long-lasting solution and in expansive soils may cause additional problems.
- 2Many states including Texas do not require licensing or other forms of oversite for foundation repair contractors. If you want to be a foundation repair contractor, print up some cards and go for it.
- 3Most foundation repair contractor salespeople sell piers on commission. Often, they sell more piers than are needed, and more than occasionally, they sell piers when piers are not the solution at all.
- 4In most instances taking elevations are a scam. Most foundation repair companies take phony elevations to "determine repairs that are needed", when in fact, taking elevations, without having the original elevations from construction with which to compare, which almost nobody has, is a scam. Even if you have original elevations a stationary benchmark would be needed to use for the comparison.
- 5Most all foundation companies use a standard "lifetime warrantee"' which only covers the piers and only covers vertical settlement of the piers and not the job its self. What that means is, that the contractors are protecting themselves much more that the consumer!
"Other topics we may cover include: slab, pier/beam, and basement construction. We'll discuss various repair methods such as different types of piers, drainage corrections, mud-jacking, chemical and foam injections, and how plumbing leaks can impact foundations. We'll explore reasons why repairs fail, signs of foundation damage, remediation of unsuccessful foundation repairs, as well as signs of prior foundation movement or damage and their repairs. We'll also delve into builders' responsibilities, homeowners' insurance obligations, and homeowner warranty responsibilities. Additionally, we'll touch on sellers' real estate disclosure requirements and the importance for buyers to consult with an unbiased authority who isn't trying to sell them repairs. We'll outline the steps involved in foundation repairs, explore typical costs, and much more."
