Best Foundation Repair Dfw

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   Are there any companies in the Arlington/DFW area that do foundation repairs without piers?
   We have what is being labeled a “minor” foundation shift. I know it has to be fixed but piers are outrageously priced. Are there any companies in the general area that do some sort of pier-less foundation repair? Appreciate any recommendations. Thanks

     Our company is based in Arlington and we are a licensed applicator of Condor® SS – an environmentally friendly chemical soil stabilization product injected into the soil to reduce or eliminate the swelling and shrinking that commonly results when soil with significant clay content becomes wet and subsequently dries. Condor SS is backed by a 10 year and lifetime warranty.

2. QUESTION:
   What is the average cost of foundation repair in the DFW area?
   Looking for ball park figure for 1600 sq ft house.

3. QUESTION:
   If I am going to grad school in Dallas is it better deal to rent for 2 years or to buy a house?
   I heard its cheap there.

   • ANSWER:
     On the national average, to rent in Dallas is cheap. On the other hand, property values in and around Dallas tend to get a bit pricy unless you’re willing to purchase a home in an “undesirable” location. Another drawback to purchasing a home in the DFW area is many of the newer homes’ foundations tend to shift causing cracks and expensive repair costs. If you have a little money to invest, buying an older house with the intention of renting out the house later can be quite a lucrative investment for your future no matter where you live.

     I would rent first, shop around, and then make up my mind.

4. QUESTION:
   What steps do I need to go through to identify a foul odor in a single a room?
   I have an odor in an enclosed room in the middle of my house. The room has a wet bar and sink in it. It is adjacent to a water heater closet and a bathroom. This room has a skylight that was repaired about 6 months ago for a water leak under its flashing. At times the smell seems to originate from one corner of the room. Other times from the discharge vent in the ceiling. I’ve broken down the plumbing from the sink and don’t think the odor is from the sewer. I see no visible signs of mold. I’ve been in the attic and nothing obvious or no odor. I have a concrete foundation. This room is tiled and not carpeted. No apparent entry way for animals in the walls or attic. The smell is like a dirty fish aquarium and isolated to this area. I live in the DFW area. What’s next? Thoughts? opinions?

   • ANSWER:
     You probably have hidden water damage that was never repaired, so now it’s starting to grow mold or mildew. This all needs to be removed and re-finished.
