Why Choose Eliot

Austin Foundation Repair Built Around Your Home

Foundation problems in Austin are rarely identical. Expansive clay soil, shallow limestone, drought-and-rain cycles, tree roots, plumbing leaks and poor drainage all move foundations differently, so we evaluate the home and the ground around it before recommending foundation repair, slab repair, house leveling or drainage correction.

25+ Years, Owner-Operated

More than 25 years of experience and direct owner involvement keep inspections, repair recommendations, project scope and communication straightforward from the first visit through completion.

Licensed, Insured & Warranty-Backed

We are licensed and insured, and our repairs are backed by a warranty, so you have protection and accountability long after the work is finished.

Clear Upfront Quotes

You receive the proposed repair scope and price before work begins, whether the project involves foundation stabilization, slab repair, house leveling or drainage work.

Austin Soil and Climate Knowledge

Austin's clay soils swell when wet and shrink during dry spells. We account for that seasonal movement, along with nearby trees and grading, when diagnosing why a foundation is shifting.

Drainage-First Thinking

Water pooling beside a foundation is one of the most common causes of movement. We check gutters, grading, downspouts and moisture patterns so the repair is not undone by the same water problem.

Serving Austin and All of Texas

Based in Austin, we also serve homeowners in Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio and other Texas cities, with the same property-specific inspection and written scope everywhere.

How it works

What to Expect in Austin, Start to Finish

1

Foundation Inspection

We inspect the home for foundation cracks, uneven floors, sticking doors, wall separation, visible settlement and other signs that may indicate structural movement.

2

Soil, Moisture and Drainage Check

We look at grading, gutters, downspouts, plumbing-leak indicators, nearby trees and moisture around the foundation to identify what is driving the movement.

3

Assessment and Quote

We review the foundation system, floor elevations and affected areas, then explain whether foundation repair, slab repair, house leveling, drainage correction or a combination is appropriate and provide an upfront quote.

4

Repair and Stabilization

Our technicians complete the agreed repair using an approach matched to the structure and the areas of movement identified, whether the work involves slab stabilization, pier installation, house leveling or drainage improvements.

5

Completion and Review

After the repair is complete, we review the work with you, confirm the agreed scope has been addressed and answer any questions about the repaired areas.

Foundation Repair FAQs — Austin, TX

Still have questions? We're happy to talk it through.

(214) 807-4840
+ How much does foundation repair cost in Austin, TX?
Cost depends on the foundation type, amount of settlement, repair method, number of support points, site access and whether drainage work is needed. A property-specific inspection gives a far more reliable estimate than a general Austin average, and you receive an upfront written quote before work starts.
+ What are the most common signs that an Austin home needs foundation repair?
Possible warning signs include recurring drywall or brick cracks, doors and windows that begin sticking, uneven or sloping floors, gaps around trim and visible changes in floor elevation. One symptom alone does not always mean structural repair is required.
+ Why do foundations move so much in Austin?
Much of the Austin area sits on expansive clay that swells with moisture and shrinks as it dries. Long dry periods followed by heavy rain, along with tree roots, plumbing leaks and poor drainage, can cause uneven movement under a slab or pier-and-beam foundation.
+ Can poor drainage damage my foundation?
Yes. Water that pools near the foundation or drains unevenly can change soil moisture and contribute to settlement or heave. Correcting grading, gutters and downspout discharge is often part of a lasting foundation repair plan.
+ What is the difference between foundation repair and slab repair?
Foundation repair is a broad term covering work used to stabilize or correct foundation problems. Slab repair specifically addresses concrete slab foundations, such as differential settlement, movement or areas that need additional structural support.
+ What is house leveling?
House leveling corrects unacceptable elevation differences in a structure. It may be part of a larger foundation repair project and can involve stabilizing or adjusting affected sections of a slab or raised foundation.
+ Do you repair both slab and pier-and-beam foundations?
Yes. Slab and pier-and-beam foundations use different structural systems and require different inspection and repair approaches. Recommendations are based on the foundation type and where movement or support problems are found.
+ How long does foundation repair or house leveling usually take?
The timeline depends on the repair scope. A localized slab repair may take less time than work involving many support points, significant house leveling or drainage work. A more accurate timeline can be provided after inspection.
+ Does every foundation crack mean I need foundation repair?
No. Some cracks are cosmetic or related to normal material movement. Cracks that keep changing, return after repair or appear alongside sticking doors or uneven floors should be evaluated more closely.
+ Can newer Austin homes develop foundation problems?
Yes. Newer homes can still move because of soil conditions, grading, drainage, plumbing leaks, landscaping, fill preparation and changing moisture levels.
+ Do you provide foundation repair outside Austin?
Yes. Eliot Foundation Repair is based in Austin and also serves homeowners in cities across Texas, including the Dallas–Fort Worth area, Houston and San Antonio, with foundation repair, slab repair and house leveling.
+ How do I schedule a foundation inspection?
Call us during business hours, Monday through Friday, 8am to 6pm. We will ask about the symptoms you have noticed, your foundation type and your location, then set up an inspection.
+ Are you licensed and insured, and do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Eliot Foundation Repair is licensed and insured, has 25+ years of experience, and backs its repairs with a warranty. Ask about the warranty terms for your project when you receive your upfront quote.
