Information And Foundation Repair Facts About Dallas, Fort Worth, Irving

  • Foundation problems are common in North Texas. Fractures are caused by many things including: (a) expansive clay soil in this area (b) dry or wet weather (c) under slab plumbing leaks (c) poor drainage conditions and (e) aggressive tree roots. There is also a lot of truth to what’s been said about poor soil compaction contributing to foundation issues. The idea that most most problems are caused by poor construction techniques is pure fiction. While that certainly does occur, it’s not one of the most common reasons for foundation failure.
  • Concrete pier foundation repair or steel pilings can help. In areas like Irving, where the soil is extremely deep, piers must be pushed much deeper into the ground than in other areas of the Metroplex. In most Dallas, Fort Worth cities, these pilings are pushed 10-14′ into the ground. When installing concrete piers, contractors like HD Foundations drive  the piers down to “the point of refusal.” This simply means that they are being inserted  into the ground as far as they can go. Concrete piers can’t installed as far down as steel piers. Pilings made out of steel must be inserted straight down into the bedrock in order for them to be effective.  If they are inserted at an angle and don’t reach bedrock, they won’t work correctly.
  • Epoxies and other modern sealers will not solve foundation problems. Fact is, the only permanent solution involves repairing the initial cause of the trouble. Sealers and epoxies can fill cracks, but they won’t make your foundation level or prevent it from sinking. If your foundation is failing, underpinning is required.
