Foundation Repair in Anna, TX

Foundation calls from Anna are the same ones we get across Collin County: a stair-step crack in the brick, a door that quit latching in late summer, a floor that slopes toward one corner, or a buyer's inspector who flagged the slab. The inspector maps the whole house with a level survey before anyone talks about piers.

Anna was platted in 1883 beside the railroad and incorporated in 1913. Its older homes along State Highway 5 are pier-and-beam and 1970s slabs, while the subdivisions west of US 75 are new slabs that often show their first movement before the builder warranty runs out.

Live oaks, red oaks, cedar elms and hackberries are the big trees on Collin County lots, and a mature oak pulls a surprising amount of water out of the clay in a dry summer, so the corner of the slab nearest a large tree is usually the corner that drops first.

Permits in Anna

Pier work needs a building permit in most Collin County cities, and some of them, McKinney and Plano among them, want sealed engineer drawings with the application. We pull the permit through your city as part of the job. Driveway and patio leveling and most yard drainage do not need one, and under-slab plumbing repairs go on the plumber's permit.

What it costs in Anna

A homeowner inspection is free. Piers run $400 to $700 each and most pier jobs land in the range of $4,000 to $12,000. Concrete leveling starts at $650 and drainage work runs $2,500 to $6,500.
