Power Jack Foundation Repair has been specializing in foundation repair since 1976. Our family's involvement in the concrete and construction industry dates back to 1961, which led us to recognize the need for a reliable foundation repair service.

Foundation issues in Northeast Texas are primarily attributed to expansive clay soils. These soils expand when wet and contract during dry periods. The region's frequent heavy rains, droughts, and temperature fluctuations exacerbate soil movement. Over time, this constant soil shifting exerts pressure on foundations, leading to cracks, uneven floors, and problems with doors and windows.

Several indicators suggest potential foundation issues: cracks in walls, brickwork, or floors; doors and windows that stick or don't close properly; gaps around trim or cabinets; uneven or sloping floors; and separation between walls and ceilings. If you observe any of these signs, we recommend scheduling a complimentary foundation inspection to identify and address the underlying cause promptly.

The cost of foundation repair varies based on factors such as home size, foundation type, and extent of damage. In Northeast Texas, typical repair costs range from $3,000 to $15,000. However, each project is unique. A professional inspection will provide you with a detailed quote and a clear explanation of the necessary repairs, ensuring transparency throughout the process.
