Foundation Repair Services in Fort Worth, TX

Foundation Repair Fort Worth Homeowners Have Trusted Since 1987 

Plenty of contractors serve Fort Worth. Very few are from here. Because our headquarters is in Benbrook, the homes we fix are in the same neighborhoods where our team lives, shops, and sends their kids to school. 

That changes how we work. We don’t sell a repair and disappear; we show up for warranty visits years later, and we know which streets in Wedgwood, Ridglea, and North Fort Worth tend to move after a hot summer. 

Every project starts with a free, no-pressure inspection. A G.L. Hunt specialist measures your floor elevations, checks for cracks and gaps, and looks at the drainage around your home before recommending anything. If your foundation doesn’t need work, we’ll tell you. 

Why the Ground Moves Under Fort Worth Homes 

Fort Worth sits where two very different landscapes meet: the Grand Prairie and the Cross Timbers. That makes the soil under one neighborhood behave nothing like the soil a few miles away. East Fort Worth and much of the Arlington side rest on soils formed over Eagle Ford shale, a dense clay that swells when it gets wet and shrinks hard when it dries out. 

West and southwest of downtown, toward Benbrook and Aledo, homes are often built on a thin layer of clay over limestone, so the soil can shift unevenly across a single slab. Along the Trinity River, softer alluvial soils add another variable. 

Then there’s the weather. Long, dry summers pull moisture out of the clay and open gaps beneath the slab. Spring storms soak it all back in. That repeated swelling and shrinking is the main reasonfoundation repair Fort Worth TX homeowners deal with is so common, even on newer homes.

Warning Signs to Watch For

Foundation movement usually shows up inside the house before you ever see it outside. Pay attention if you notice: 

• Diagonal cracks running from the corners of doors and windows
• Doors that stick, swing open on their own, or won’t latch
• Floors that slope, bounce, or feel uneven underfoot
• Gaps between walls and ceilings, or between baseboards and the floor
• Stair-step cracks in exterior brick
• Cracks in your slab or garage floor that keep getting wider 
• Windows that are suddenly hard to open or close 

One sign on its own isn’t always cause for alarm. Several together, or a crack that grows over a few months, is a good reason to schedule an inspection. 

Our Foundation Repair Services in Fort Worth 

Slab Foundation Repair

Most homes built in Fort Worth since the 1960s sit on concrete slabs. When the clay underneath shifts, the slab moves with it. Our slab foundation repair uses pressed concrete piers, steel piers, or hybrid systems driven down to stable load-bearing strata, so your home is supported by something that doesn’t move with the seasons. 

Pier and Beam Foundation Repair Fort Worth

Fort Worth’s historic neighborhoods, including Fairmount, Ryan Place, Arlington Heights, and Mistletoe Heights, are full of pre-war bungalows and Craftsman homes built on pier and beam foundations. 

These homes need a different approach. Our pier and beam foundation repair includes reshimming, new concrete or steel piers, beam and sill replacement, and added structural supports. 

House Leveling

If furniture rolls toward one wall or your floors feel like a gentle hill, your home may need leveling. Our house leveling service lifts and stabilizes the structure using pier systems, bringing floors back as close to level as the home allows. 

Crawl Space Repair and Encapsulation

A damp crawl space can lead to rot, mold, pests, and weakened supports. We repair damaged framing and offer crawl space encapsulation and dehumidification to keep moisture out for good. 

Concrete Lifting and Repair

Sunken driveways, patios, and sidewalks are trip hazards and drain water toward your home. Our concrete lifting uses polyurethane foam injection to raise slabs quickly, with less mess and faster cure times than traditional mudjacking. 

Foundation Crack Repair

Not every crack is an emergency, but none should be ignored. In Fort Worth, clay soil opens and closes cracks with the seasons, so a crack that looks small in spring can widen through a dry summer. We tell you which cracks are cosmetic and which point to structural movement. See the most common foundation problems we fix in Fort Worth.

Drainage Solutions

Controlling water is one of the best ways to protect a Fort Worth foundation. We do french drains installations, surface drains, sump pumps, and high-capacity gutters in Fort Worth to move water away from your slab and keep soil moisture more consistent year-round. 

Foundation Repair Cost in Fort Worth

The cost of foundation repair depends on your foundation type, how much the home has moved and how many piers it needs. The only way to know your real cost is an inspection, which is why ours is free and comes with no obligation. You get a written, itemized estimate so you know exactly what you are paying for, and financing is available for qualifying homeowners.

Keep in mind that most standard Texas homeowner policies do not cover foundation damage caused by soil movement, so repairing early usually costs less and keeps damage from spreading.
