Foundation repair company in Grand Prairie, TX
Tight Lots, Old Slabs, Straight Answers.
We work the house you have, not the easy one.
Grand Prairie runs from mid-century slabs on the north end to newer builds down south. We handle both, plus the sunken driveways and walkways that come with them.
Grand Prairie soil and slab settlement
Older Slabs Meet Expansive Clay
Fifty years of wet and dry adds up.
Grand Prairie spans two counties and a lot of soil types, but expansive clay is the common thread. Homes built in the fifties and sixties on the north side have been through decades of swelling and shrinking, and thin slabs from that era show it first.
Lots are narrow through much of the city, so roof water dumps close to the foundation and stays there. That is also why so much of the flatwork here has dropped: the soil under the driveway washes out long before the house does.
We measure the house, look at where the water goes, and separate the structural problem from the concrete problem. They are not always the same job.

The Work We Do in Grand Prairie
Steel and concrete piers
Settlement gets piers driven to soil that will actually carry the load. Steel where depth or load calls for it, concrete where conditions allow.
Pier and beam repairs
Block piers, beam replacement, and shim work under crawl space homes to put the floor back where it belongs.
Drainage corrections
When one side of the house stays wet and the other bakes, the slab keeps moving. French drains, downspouts, and regrading calm the soil down.
Concrete leveling
Common here. Sunken driveways, garage aprons, and sidewalks get raised or replaced without touching the house structure.

Grand Prairie foundation repair questions
Straight Answers
If your question is not here, call and ask. You will get a person who has been under houses, not a script.
My driveway is sunken but the house looks fine. Is that a foundation problem?
Usually not. Flatwork sits on shallow soil that washes out, while the house sits on a slab with footings. We can level or replace the concrete without doing anything to the foundation, and it costs a lot less.
How much does foundation repair cost in Grand Prairie?
It comes down to pier count, depth, and access. We measure the house and price the actual scope. Anyone quoting your foundation over the phone is guessing.
Does Grand Prairie require a permit?
Yes, structural foundation repair is permitted work, and an engineer's plan is typically required. We take care of it and explain what your job needs before we start.
Do you work the Dallas County side of the city too?
We do. Grand Prairie straddles Dallas, Tarrant, and Ellis counties, and we work all of it. Same crew, same process, whichever side of the line you are on.
