Why Houston Foundations Fail
Houston sits on "Gumbo Clay," an expansive soil that swells like a sponge when wet and shrinks when dry. This constant movement snaps concrete slabs and cracks walls. Most contractors just patch the cracks or use shallow piles that move with the soil. We don't just patch; we drive supports deep past the active clay zone to permanently stabilize your home.
Surface repairs fail when the seasons change
Shifting soil snaps plumbing and sewer lines
We drive pilings to the point of refusal (stable soil)

Deep Structural Stabilization
We don't guess. We use forensic engineering tools to map your foundation's movement and verify the fix.

Hydraulically Driven Pilings
We bypass the shifting surface soil by driving concrete pilings deep into the earth using hydraulic pressure. We stop only when we hit the "Depth of Refusal"—solid, load-bearing strata that won't move.
Zip-Level Mapping
We don't use a bubble level. We use a Zip-Level Altimeter to create a precise topographic map of your floor elevation, identifying exactly where and how much your slab has dropped.
Hydrostatic Plumbing Test
Lifting a house can stress old pipes. After every lift, we perform a Hydrostatic Plumbing Test to ensure your sewer and water lines remain intact and leak-free.
Keep Your Cash Reserves Intact
Preserving your cash flow is just as important as protecting your home. We offer plans with 0% interest and terms up to 15 years, allowing you to get forensic-quality work today without the heavy upfront cost.
$0 Down to Start
While 90% of contractors demand 50% cash upfront, we start your project for free. You don't pay a dime until the work begins.
0% Interest for 24 Months
Treat your project like a cash purchase but pay over time. Spread the cost over two full years with absolutely zero interest charged.
Terms Up to 180 Months
Keep your monthly overhead low. We offer extended terms up to 15 years, often resulting in payments lower than a standard utility bill.
How Foundation Repair Works With TGR
We don’t guess. We don’t just patch. A typical foundation leveling project spans five to ten business days from the first pilings being pressed to the final cleanout; you get a clear plan before we start.
One
Inspection & Zip-Level mapping
We check the cracks, doors and floors inside and out, then use a Zip-Level Altimeter to create a precise topographic map of your floor elevation, identifying exactly where and how much your slab has dropped.
Two
A clear plan and the permit
What needs fixing. What it costs. What it takes. Nothing hidden. You see where every piling goes before we start, and we handle the city permitting and inspections.
Three
Pilings driven to refusal
We bypass the shifting surface soil by driving concrete pilings deep into the earth using hydraulic pressure. We stop only when we hit the “Depth of Refusal”: solid, load-bearing strata that won’t move.
Four
Leveling the house
With the pilings in place, your home is lifted back toward level on its new supports and checked again against the elevation map.
Five
Hydrostatic plumbing test
Lifting a house can stress old pipes. After every lift, we perform a Hydrostatic Plumbing Test to ensure your sewer and water lines remain intact and leak-free.
Six
Walk-through, then you pay
You inspect. You confirm it's perfect. Then you pay. That's the deal. That's the promise.
The Difference is Underground
What you can't see matters most. We invest in deep stability and verification testing that others skip.

Houston Foundation Repair FAQs
The questions Houston homeowners ask us most before foundation repair.
Do you give free estimates?
Yes. We inspect first, then you get a clear proposal: what needs fixing, what it costs, what it takes. Nothing hidden. Nothing inflated.
What are the signs my foundation needs repair?
Doors that stick, cracks that widen suddenly along brick veneer, stair-step cracks in the mortar, diagonal drywall cracks above doors and windows, and floors that begin to slope toward one corner of the house. Signs that appear or get worse within a week or two of heavy rain mean the clay under your home is actively moving.
Why not just patch the cracks?
Houston sits on “Gumbo Clay,” an expansive soil that swells like a sponge when wet and shrinks when dry. Surface repairs fail when the seasons change. We don’t just patch; we drive supports deep past the active clay zone to permanently stabilize your home.
Do you repair slab and pier-and-beam foundations?
Yes. On slab homes, we drive concrete pilings under the slab to stabilize it and lift it back toward level. On pier-and-beam homes, crews can often work from underneath, replacing or reinforcing failed posts, deteriorated components or sagging beams, then releveling the floors.
Does homeowners insurance cover foundation repair?
Many homeowners policies exclude damage caused by ground movement or settling, which is a common driver of foundation issues in Houston. Coverage tends to depend on whether the damage was caused by a covered event rather than gradual soil behavior. If you suspect the damage was triggered by a specific incident (like a plumbing failure), ask your insurer what documentation is needed and confirm the policy language that applies to your case.
How long does foundation repair take?
A typical foundation leveling project spans five to ten business days from the first pilings being pressed to the final cleanout, depending on how much of the foundation needs support. We give you a clear plan before we start.
Will lifting my house damage my plumbing?
Lifting a house can stress old pipes. After every lift, we perform a Hydrostatic Plumbing Test to ensure your sewer and water lines remain intact and leak-free. The test is included, not an extra cost.
Do you require a deposit?
No. With our $0 Down Payment policy, you pay nothing until your home is level and secure. No deposits. No progress payments. No liens filed against your home.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry a $2 Million General Liability policy and Worker’s Compensation coverage to protect your home and our crew. We are happy to provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) directly from our provider with your name on it before we step foot on your property.
What warranty comes with foundation repair?
Every single project is backed by our Lifetime Transferable Warranty. Because we do the work in-house instead of using scattered subcontractors, you don't get stuck with a bunch of confusing, overlapping warranties. If our workmanship fails, we come back and fix it.
